The First Slave War (134 BC-132 BC) freeborn slave named Eunus, Styling himself King Antiochus, who adopted a name familiar from the region of his birth -- Syria, was reputed to be a magician, and led the slaves of the eastern section of Sicily. + Second Slave Revolt 104 BC-100 BC leaded by slave named Salvius led slaves in the east of Sicily; while Athenion led the western slaves. + The Revolt of Spartacus 73 BC-71 BC While Spartacus was a slave and gladiator, as were the other leaders, and while the revolt centered in Campania, in southern Italy, rather than Sicily, many of the slaves who joined the movement were like the slaves of the Sicilian revolts. Most of the southern Italian and Sicilian slaves worked in the latifundia as agricultural and pastoral slaves. Again, local government was inadequate to handle the revolt - it took three Roman armies to put an end to the Spartacan War. [1] + The war with Hannibal had produced 75000 slaves, and many were imported from Asia after the war with Antiochus. (later + The First Slave Auction at New Amsterdam in 1655)

Summa de arithmetica, geometrica, proportioni et proportionalita (Venice), a synthesis of the mathematical knowledge of his time.

1509 Divina proportione this work by Pacioli discusses the mathematics of the golden ratio and its application in architecture. Leonardo da Vinci drew the illustrations of the regular solids published in the book while he lived with and took mathematics lessons from Pacioli. Da Vinci's drawings are probably the first illustrations of skeletonic solids which allowed an easy distinction between front and back. The work also discusses the use of perspective by painters such as Piero della Francesca, Melozzo da Forlì and Marco Palmezzano.

[edit] 19th century

  • Modern management as a discipline began as an off-shoot of economics
  • theoretical background to resource allocation, production, and pricing - provided by Classical economists such as Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill
    • Adam Smith defines economics simply as "The science of wealth." Smith offered another definition, "The Science relating to the laws of production, distribution and exchange." Wealth was defined as the specialization of labor which allowed a nation to produce more with its supply of labor and resources. This definition divided Smith and Hume from previous definitions which defined wealth as gold. Hume argued that gold without increased activity simply serves to raise prices.
    • 1823 John Stuart Mill co-founded the Westminster Review with Jeremy Bentham as a journal for philosophical radicals. During 1865 to 1868 as an as an independent member of Parliament, representing the City and Westminster constituency Mill advocated easing the burdens on Ireland, and became the first person in parliament to call for women to be given the right to vote. In Considerations on Representative Government Mill called for various reforms of Parliament and voting, especially proportional representation, the Single Transferable Vote, and the extension of suffrage. He was godfather to Bertrand Russell.

1848 Principles of Political Economy Mill's main economic philosophy was one of laissez-faire (synonym for strict free market economics) , but he accepted interventions in the economy, such as a tax on alcohol, if there were sufficient utilitarian grounds. He also accepted the principle of legislative intervention for the purpose of animal welfare. [2] John Stuart Mill defined economics as "The practical science of production and distribution of wealth"; this definition was adopted by the Concise Oxford Dictionary. For Mill, wealth is defined as the stock of useful things. Mill's magnum opus was his 1843 A System of Logic, Ratiocinative and Inductive, which went through several revisions and editions. William Whewell's History of the Inductive Sciences (1837) was a chief influence. The reputation of this work is largely due to his analysis of inductive proof, in contrast to Aristotle's syllogisms, which are deductive. Mill describes the five basic principles of induction which have come to be known as Mill's Methods - the method of agreement, the method of difference, the joint or double method of agreement and difference, the method of residues, and that of concomitant variations. The common feature of these methods, the one real method of scientific inquiry, is that of elimination. All the other methods are thus subordinate to the method of difference. It was also Mill's attempt to postulate a theory of knowledge, in the same vein as John Locke.

In the 1980s business strategists realized that there was a vast knowledge base stretching back thousands of years that they had barely examined. They turned to military strategy for guidance. Military strategy books like “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, “On War” by von Clausewitz, and “The Red Book” by Mao Tse Tung became instant business classics.

1986- Six Sigma by Bill Smith at Motorola. Originally, it was defined[2] as a metric for measuring defects and improving quality; and a methodology to reduce defect levels below 3.4 Defects Per (one) Million Opportunities (DPMO). Six Sigma is a registered service mark and trademark of Motorola, Inc[3]. business process outsourcing (BPO),

  • Of its origin

Some argue that Robert Galvin and Bill Smith did not really "invent" Six Sigma in the 1980s, but rather applied methodologies that had been available since the 1920s and were developed by luminaries like Shewhart, Deming, Juran, Ishikawa, Ohno, Shingo, Taguchi and Shainin[2].

In truth, there is very little that is new within Six Sigma. However, it does use the old tools in concert, for far greater effect. The telephone, the internal combustion engine, and the computer were all made from existing technology, used in a new way. The same is true of Six Sigma.

The use of "Black Belts" as itinerant change agents is controversial as it has created a cottage industry of training and certification which arguably relieves management of accountability for change; pre-Six Sigma implementations, exemplified by the Toyota Production System and [[Japan]'s industrial ascension, simply used the technical talent at hand — Design, Manufacturing and Quality Engineers, Toolmakers, Maintenance and Production workers — to optimize the processes.

  • DMAIC

Basic methodology consists of the following five phases: Define formally define the process improvement goals that are consistent with customer demands and enterprise strategy. Measure to define baseline measurements on current process for future comparison. Map and measure process in question and collect required process data. Analyze to verify relationship and causality of factors. What is the relationship? Are there other factors that have not been considered? Improve optimize the process based upon the analysis using techniques like Design of Experiments. Control setup pilot runs to establish process capability, transition to production and thereafter continuously measure the process and institute control mechanisms to ensure that variances are corrected before they result in defects.

  • DMADV

Basic methodology consists of the following five phases: Define formally define the goals of the design activity that are consistent with customer demands and enterprise strategy. Measure identify CTQs, product capabilities, production process capability, risk assessment, etc. Analyze develop design alternatives, create high-level design and evaluate design capability to select the best design. Design develop detail design, optimize design, and plan for design verification. This phase may require simulations. Verify verify design, setup pilot runs, implement production process and handover to process owners. This phase may also require simulations.
