Material flow cost accounting. Material flow cost accounting (MFCA) is a management tool that assists organizations in better understanding the potential environmental and financial consequences of their material and energy practices and seeks to improve them via changes in those practices. It does so by assessing the physical material flows in a company or a supply chain and assign adequate associated costs to these flows.

History
The method was developed in Germany in the 1980s and is related to approaches such as eco balances, flow cost accounting and "Reststoffkostenrechnung".

The method became a huge success in Japan in the 2000s. By the year 2010 up to 300 companies had applied the MFCA approach, which was highly supported by the Japanese government.

In 2011 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published a norm on MFCA (i.e. EN ISO 14051:2011). In 2020 an analysis of 73 case studies was made about the experiences companies have made when applying MFCA including success factors and obstacles.

Objective and principles
The aim of MFCA is to enhance both environmental and economic performance through improved material and energy use.  Since 2011 a general framework for MFCA has been provided by the ISO 14051 norm. In order to improve material and energy efficiency MFCA aims to:

Increasing transparency regarding material and energy flows and the respective costs
Supporting organizational decisions in areas such as process engineering, production planning, quality control, product design and supply chain management
Improving coordination and communication on material and energy use within organizations.

Hanriot D.I. The Hanriot D.I was a French monoplane racing aircraft, designed in France in 1912 and strongly influenced by Nieuport practice. Examples were built and raced both in France and the UK during 1912.

Development
During 1911 René Hanriot hired Alfred Pagny, previously at Nieuport, as a designer. Pagny's designs reflected Nieuport practice, particularly with the replacement of Hanriot's graceful boat-like shell fuselages with flat sided, deep chested ones.  His first such monoplane design for Hanriot was the D.I, often known as the Hanriot-Pagny monoplane though since Hanriot sold his aircraft interests to another of his designers, Louis Alfred Ponnier, later in 1911 this aircraft is alternatively known as the Ponnier D.I.

The Hanriot D.I was a single seat, Nieuport style mid wing monoplane, with slightly tapered, straight edged wings. Landing wires on each side met over the fuselage at a short pyramidal four strut pylon like that on the Nieuport IV. The single, open cockpit was under the pylon.  Like the Nieuport, it had a braced, broad chord tailplane, with a strongly swept leading edge, mounted on top of the rectangular section fuselage and a deep, broad chord rudder with no fin moving between the elevators.  The undercarriage used the standard Hanriot box with two longitudinal skids forming the lower edge of a cross-braced box, with four legs, a cross bar and an axle forming the other sides. The skids were upturned at the front to avoid nose-overs and the rear of the skid ran on the ground on landing, slowing the aircraft and preventing the tail from hitting the ground.

The D.I was powered either by a  Gnome rotary engine, partially enclosed in an oil deflecting cowling, open at the bottom or a 6-cylinder Anzani static radial engine of the same power.

Operational history
A D.I performed at Rheims in both 1912 and 1913. In August and September 1912 one appeared in the UK, first at Brooklands and then racing at Hendon. In February 1913 a Hanriot, very similar to the D.I but fitted with a  Gnome engine made a flight across the Alps.

At least one D.I was built early in 1912 in the UK by the recently founded Hanriot (England) Ltd company.

The Hanriot D.I formed the basis of the much more powerful but otherwise similar Ponnier D.III 1913 Gordon Bennett Trophy racer.

Tim Lister. Tim Lister (born 1949) is an American software engineer and author with specialty in design, software risk management, and human aspects of technological work. He is a Principal of The Atlantic Systems Guild Inc. and a fellow of the Cutter Consortium.  He is (with co-authors) a two-time winner of the Jolt Award for best published software development book of the year.

Peopleware
Lister's work with collaborator Tom DeMarco on non-technical factors affecting team and individual performance eventually resulted in their book, Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams originally published in 1987.  This work was the subject of a retrospective special session of IEEE International Conference on Software 2007 commemorating 20th anniversary of its publication.  Peopleware's prescriptions had mixed reception, with environmental factors like relative quiet and interrupt protection generally accepted, but other suggestions, particularly the use of enclosed space around a team in preference to open plan seating, largely ignored.
The authors' Coding War Games study which supplies evidence for the book's conclusions about the effects of workplace factors on performance is still being cited in articles about workplace design more than 25 years after its initial publication.
The term "Peopleware" is in general use  among software practitioners to describe the extent to which an organization does or not conform to the book's proposed ideals.

Patterns of organizational behavior
Lister is one of the originators of work that characterizes organizational culture using an approach first advocated (for architecture) by Christopher Alexander et al.  In this scheme, organizations are classified by the extent to which they fit or do not fit one or more of 86 common patterns. The 86 proposed patterns serve as an organizational "pattern language" much as Alexander's 250 patterns make up an architectural pattern language.

Lister is author or co-author of the following works:
Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams with co-author Tom DeMarco, Addison-Wesley Professional; 3 edition (July 1, 2013)

Abduljalil Khalil. Abduljalil Khalil Ibrahim Hassan (also Abdul Jalil; ; born 14 December 1961) is a Bahraini politician. He is former Member of Parliament of Al Wefaq political party.

Early life and career
Khalil was born in the village of Sanabis, Bahrain on 14 December 1961. He studied mechanical engineering at King Saud University earning his BSc in January 1986. In July 1999, he earned MSc building services administration from Heriot-Watt University. Between 1995 and 2006, he worked at AERMEC, advancing from a field services engineer in March 1995 to a project manager in August 1999 and finally to a general manager in September 2000. He writes regular opinion piece in Al Wasat local newspaper and is a board member of Bahrain Society of Engineers, the American Bahraini Friendship Society and al-Jamri foundation, "which seeks to foster Sunni-Shi'a dialogue." He also heads the Bahrain Society for University Students and is said to have "close associations with recent university graduates." A WikiLeaks cable described him as being known for his "intelligence, management, administrative [and oratory] skills."

Khalil is married to Afaf al-Jamri, a women's activist and writer. She is the daughter of Shia cleric Abdul Amir al-Jamri, sister to Mansoor al-Jamri, editor-in-chief of Al-Wasat and Mohammed Jameel, a former member of parliament. They have two sons and a daughter.

Political life

In August 1988, Khalil was arrested in connection with opposition activities related to his father-in-law, with whom he had very strong relations. He was subsequently sentenced to seven years in prison. He was reportedly tortured during detention. He was pardoned by the Emir (now king) in 2000.

Khalil was a founding member of Al Wefaq political party in 2001. He holds a senior position in the party. In 2006, he was elected to the Council of Representatives, the lower house of the parliament as a representative of the Capital Governorate's 4th district. He headed the parliament's finance committee and led investigations into state properties. He was noted for his ability to cooperate with other blocs despite sectarian differences. He won by default in 2010, becoming the head of Al Wefaq's bloc. In February 2011, Khalil and 17 other Al Wefaq MPs (the largest bloc) submitted their resignations in protest against the government crackdown on Arab Spring-inspired protests.
