History The first structured method for documenting process flow‚ the "flow process chart"‚ was introduced by Frank Gilbreth to members of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 1921 in the presentation “Process Charts—First Steps in Finding the One Best Way”. Gilbreth’s tools quickly found their way into industrial engineering curricula. In the early 1930s‚ an industrial engineer‚ Allan H. Mogensen began training business people in the use of some of the tools of industrial engineering

The circular flow model reflects the flow of money‚ goods and services throughout the economy. This model is composed of households and business firms and it divides the markets into two categories‚ Product Market and Factor Market. In the Product Market‚ the households consume and purchase the goods and services that are sold by the business firms‚ creating exchange of currency (dollars) between the households who are receiving a finished product and the business firms who are making a profit

globalisation and the growing multidirectional flows of people‚ objects‚ places and information. Firstly I will focus on globalisation and how migration‚ culture‚ economics and politics fit into the picture. Secondly I will focus on how globalisation has affected Ireland. To gain a better understanding of globalisation I must first define it. “Globalisation is a transplanetary process or set of processes involving increasing liquidity and the growing multidirectional flows of people‚ objects‚ places and information
