Sampling and product specification
The product design specification (PDS) is a listing of the critical parameters, specifications and requirements for the product you are designing. It is a statement of what the product should be and should do. The PDS is created during the problem definition activity very early in the design process. Much of the product design specification is driven by customer needs. It is intended to show what you are trying to achieve, NOT what you will end up with.http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~me349/lecture_notes/product_design_spec.pdf

Define supplier selection
Supplier selection is the process by which firms identify, evaluate, and contract with suppliers. The supplier selection process deploys a tremendous amount of a firm’s fi- nancial resources. In return, firms expect significant benefits from contracting with suppliers offering high value. This article describes the typical steps of supplier selection processes: identifying suppliers, soliciting information from suppliers, setting contract terms, negoti- ating with suppliers, and evaluating suppliers. It highlights why each step is important, how the steps are interrelated, and how the resulting complexity provides fertile ground for ORMS research.
kpi analysis example

KPIs can have various components such as volume, cost, time, customer satisfaction and quality
Key: what is ‘Key’ varies significantly from company to company. This could be the hourly rate charged against the operational hourly cost. This obviously would be key to the success or failure of a company. However, arguably customer satisfaction may or may not be vital to the success of an organisation.
Performance: can be evidently measured and quantified. For example sale performance would be a significant performance criterion, with a measurable target.
Indicator: is largely related to future performance. For example a company can hold a large amount of data relating to historical sales trends - an indicator would be used to evaluate a variance on future performance.

Event management
Event management involves studying the intricacies of the brand, identifying the target audience, devising the event concept, planning the logistics and coordinating the technical aspects before actually launching the event.
This includes event design, audio-visual production, scriptwriting, logistics, budgeting, negotiation and, of course, client service. It is a multi-dimensional profession.
