Decorating your salt water fish tanks with rocks and pieces of coral is imperative in order to make the fish feel at home. Some species will spend their time picking at the coral as that is what they do in the wild. Make sure you wash all pieces before putting them into the tank to stop any bacteria entering the water. If you are using dead coral you can wash them in a bleach solution to clean them making sure you rinse them properly afterwards. You will know if the bleach has gone by the smell. Coral and rockwork are necessary for some species of fish to feel secure as they like to mark their territory and will return to the same rock every night for shelter. It also gives them somewhere to hide until they get used to the other inhabitants in their new living space.
You may plan on introducing live coral into salt water fish tanks as a species in their own right. Do bear in mind that while they look pretty Cheap Jordan 1 , they won’t last long if you choose fish that feed on this coral.
Usually people will tell you not to keep algae in an aquarium but it is vital in salt water fish tanks. It helps to lower the nitrogenous waste levels as well as providing a source of food. As with every aquarium, a new marine tank must be left to settle and mature before you add the living inhabitants. You can speed up this process in a Variety of different ways including introducing some base medium from an established marine aquarium. Don’t be in too much of a rush though as you do not want to waste your money buying fish only for them to die as their new home is not yet ready.

Business Process Management (BPM) is a set of activities performed by organizations to improve or streamline their business processes. Since software tools are usually used to aid these activities Cheap Jordan 12 , these software tools are referred to as Business Process Management Systems.
- Business Process Management Systems
Business Process Management has been in place for some time now. Due to the introduction of software tools, however, there has been renewed interest in the body of knowledge pertaining to BPM. These software tools make design and implementation of Business Process Management easier Cheap Jordan 13 , cheaper, and more efficient. There are three categories of Business Process Mmanagement activities - design, execution and monitoring.
1. Design
Designing BPM involves capturing the existing processes in a business environment. These processes must be modeled in a way that they can be simulated and tested. Modeling these processes usually involves graphical representation methods that document the processes and stores this data in repositories.
2. Execution
Traditionally Cheap Jordan 11 , to implement automation in a business organization, developers would have to be contracted to develop applications that automate certain processes. Unfortunately, the scope of these projects was often too narrow. The result of which is that the automation is not well integrated into the business environment since the automation only deals with a particular department or function. BPMS champions a method that pushes for the development of applications that encompass the entire business process. It aims to fully automate the business environment only stopping to query the user when human intervention is absoultely necessary.
3. Process monitoring
Process monitoring involves observing and taking note of the performance of the individual processes so that evaluation and intervention become more straightforward for the business organization. From the information gleaned from here Cheap Jordan Retro Shoes , the business organization聮s leaders can make further decisions on the direction the business process takes. The data from this activity can be used to generate different kinds of statistics that are necessary when having to make critical decisions. Business Process Management is an iterative process.
4. The Future
Although BPM strives to automate the mechanical processes of a business, there has been interest in developing BPMs that move into the territory of human judgment. Some of the processes involved in a business environment are not included in the automation because some sort of human decision is needed. With the growing complexity of information systems - especially studies into decision support systems and artificial intelligence - some human decision-making processes can actually be automated. This is the future goal of BPM, to futher automate previously unautomatable processes.
- The Business Process Management Ideals
In 1920 Cheap Air Jordan Shoes , Frederick Taylor outlined three waves of business ideals in managing processes. These waves represented the ways of thinking business process engineers had.
Wave 1. Processes Set In Stone
They are secured in business policy manuals. The manual is the basis of the process, and the organization has to abide by it.
Wave 2. Processes Changed Once In A While
Using a one-time activity, changes can be made. This means that the business would have to build their processes around a fixed system since change can only come once in a while Cheap Jordan Retro , and at a great cost.
Wave 3. Processes On-The-Fly
The primary consideration in such systems is flexibility to change. Businesses that adhere to this goal create business environments that can adapt to its changing needs. This setup also allows the business to constantly fine tune its operations. This wave is not about business-process reengineering. It is about maintaining an environment that is constantly on its toes, ready to adapt to the circumstance, and maximize its strengths while downplaying its weaknesses.
