Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Some persons who get breast cancer do not survive. Muriel Klafehn is one of those people. This book chronicles her life from the time of diagnosis of cancer in her right breast until her death. Every day was lived to be as normal as it could be. And so it began, removing a breast on Friday, eating dinner out and attending a concert on Saturday, and directing the Chorale in church on Sunday. In this forthright manner, she became an inspiration to me and to all those who were touched by her life. Her prayer for peace at the outset of her "adventure" was granted by the Lord, fully sustaining her on a daily basis. She traveled during radiation therapy and she traveled in the midst of chemotherapy. Her love of music was satisfied by attending concerts and touring Broadway shows, and she drew energy from trips to the ocean that helped to rejuvenate her. Each fall she renewed her desire to get another hiking medallion. She maintained her passion for reading by the devouring book after book until it became a chore to concentrate. Cancer metastasized three different times in her body. She underwent sixty-three radiation treatments and eight chemotherapy treatments. In addition, there were CT scans, bone scans, and other diagnostic tests to which she was subjected. She had a prophylactic mastectomy of the left breast and numerous Aredia treatments. She suffered complications of COPD and radiation enteritis. Thirty-eight doctors were involved in her treatment. Through it, all Muriel judged that God had a purpose in permitting her to have cancer. She chose to focus on that purpose, exclaiming not Why me? But Why not me? Much of who Muriel was and the relationship we had is established through reminiscences and flashbacks. It is rare that one has the opportunity to grieve while the individual is still alive but Muriel, in her own way, gave that gift to me as her life ebbed away. I and all who knew Muriel stand as one. Though we have been deprived by her absence, we are made greater by her memory and gain solace in knowing that we will always bear the calm, irreplaceable stamp of her adventurous life.

He is coauthor of two textbooks and numerous articles. He lived each day of Muriel's adventure accompanying her on all of her health care interactions with the professionals involved. The author holds undergraduate and masters degrees from Clarkson University and a PhD from Kent State University. He was a university professor for thirty years.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The management of production and service processes can be supported by microcomputer simulation modelseffectively and inexpensivelyif the techniques are presented in an understandable manner. Drs. Klafehn, Weinroth, and Boronico prove this and show how to do itnot only for the benefit of operations managers themselves, but for others with management responsibilities in a variety of businesses and industries. They will learn how important daily operations problems can be modeled on a microcomputer, gain understanding of overall simulation methodology, and learn the several forms of cost savings achievable through simulation. For teachers in business schools the book will also provide a link between general management and the management of engineering and R&D.The first chapter introduces the reader to the concepts and steps for undertaking a microcomputer simulation project. In addition, the benefits, drawbacks, and myths are reviewed in detail. Chapter two explores, in a conversational scenario, what is involved in taking a management operations problem involving a truck transfer depot from its point of inception to the formulation of a systems operation model, which in a later chapter is ultimately put into a computer simulation model and tested to, in a sense, come up with answers to the questions posed in the hypothetical conversation. Subsequent chapters in the book are oriented to a discussion of other operations management problems and the effort to seek insight and solutions through simulation modeling. A Just-in-Time manufacturing system is addressed, recognizing the push-pull concept as well as looking at the quality aspect. Attempting to determine the optimum levels for safety, stock, order points, and order quantity is investigated through computer simulation. These levels are predicated on balancing the costs associated with ordering and holding goods as well as the penalty costs of stocking out. Using a simulated environment enables the inclusion of the variability evidenced by the type of distribution. The remaining chapters also review alternative rules and what ifs as applied to machine configuration, facility location for a satellite EMS unit, and job shop operations. Each of the applications chapters provides a printout of the basic computer model, written in GPSS, that was then modified to investigate alternative scenarios. The management of production and service processes can be supported by microcomputer simulation models if the techniques are presented in an understandable manner. This book proves this and shows how to do it, for the benefit of both operations managers, and others with management responsibilities. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
