Decisive Validation is the Route to Better Decision Making in the Developing
World
It is easy to buy the lowest cost product. It is very challenging to select the
best product with the lowest life cycle cost. The buyer has to evaluate supplier
claims. This is difficult and made even more difficult in developing countries
where there are language problems and lack of experience.
There has been no organized system to help the buyer make the necessary
evaluations. In contrast, the buyer can be assured that the supplier will adhere
to quality management standards in the manufacture of the product through ISO
9000 and other ISO standards.
Decisive Validation
is a process which will make it easy for the buyer to make the best purchasing
choices. It involves a whole system with a decisive classification sequence. At
each step along the way there is a decisive classification of the options and
validation that the supplier product is the right choice.
An example of purchasing options for NOx reduction is displayed in
the McIlvaine Global Decisions Orchard
DeNOx Decisively Classified Options for Coal,
Cement, Incineration.
In addition to the conventional SCR and SNCR, there are three other options
presented including ozone injection, hydrogen peroxide injection and the use of
a catalytic filter. It is shown that the disadvantages of the chemicals are the
operating cost, whereas, the disadvantage of the catalytic filter is lack of
experience.
Each application is unique. In the case of the chemicals, it is necessary
to show that in a specific application the cost of the chemicals will be more
than offset by the lower capital cost. In the case of the catalytic
filter, there is the need to show that there is ample commercial experience to
satisfy the purchaser.
Decisive Validation with independent third party analysis using niche experts is
the way to provide convincing evidence.
An additional challenge is to communicate the validation results to the
purchaser. If his native language is Chinese, then the essence of the
results along with the decisions sequence need to be provided in Chinese. The
Global Decisions Orchard is a mechanism to make these results known.

Validation costs can range widely. However, when the benefits of validation are
compared to those for conventional sales efforts it is clear that validation
should be a major undertaking. One example of the benefits of
validation is the white paper on use of single use vs. reusable surgical gowns.
Hospitals were leaning toward reusable gowns with the belief that they were
greener. An extensive analysis showed that the water use and contamination
aspects of reusables outweighed the greenhouse gases resulting from single use
gown manufacture.

(1.) Barclays has cut its second-quarter GDP trading estimate to 1.0% from 1.6%
after the trade deficit widened in May. In a note to clients, Barclays blamed
the larger-than-expected increase in imports in the month for the downward
revision. A higher trade deficit is a drag on GDP. Earlier, the Commerce
Department reported that the May trade gap rose 12% to $45 billion in May, well
above economists' forecast of a deficit of $40.3 billion.
(2.) The U.S. economy suddenly looks weaker, after the government revised its
data for the first quarter. Gross domestic product -- the broadest measure of
economic activity -- rose at a mere 1.8% annual pace between January and
March………..(remaining text not included in this sample.)
The Chilean economy this year will grow at a slower pace than forecasted in
March, as local activity and demand decelerated more than anticipated in the
first quarter of 2013, according to the central bank.
In its second Monetary Policy Report for the year, the central bank downwardly
revised its gross domestic product growth outlook to a range between 4% and 5%,
from a range of between 4.5% and 5.5% it had estimated in its first report in
March.
The bank also downwardly reviewed its 2013 copper price estimate to an average
$3.25 a pound, from $3.50 in the previous report. Lower copper prices will widen
the current account deficit to 4.7% of GDP, the bank said .……….(remaining

A Chinese think tank has opined economic growth will be steady in the second
half of the year, with a GDP growth rate of 7.6 percent.
In a report by the State Information Center, it cited the government's
"stabilizing economic growth" measures will have a positive effect.
However, the report cited risks of bad local government loans, slowing growth of
central government revenue, diminished export competitiveness and industrial
capacity are growing.
Chinese markets are recovering from a crunch in the domestic financial markets
that saw short-term money rates spike to record highs and stock markets swoon in
recent weeks.……….(remaining text not included in this sample.)
Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) is set to revise its initial
economic growth forecast for 2013 at a mid-year review on slumping exports and
slower private consumption.
The think tank had in January projected that the Malaysian economy will expand
5.6% this year.
"Our export performance in recent months is a major concern,'' executive
director Dr Zakariah Abdul Rashid said.
"It would be very difficult for Malaysia to achieve the targeted growth this
year if exports continue to shrink,'' he told reporters.
Zakariah said the growth target would probably be lowered soon after reviewing
the country's performance in the first half of the year.
He also said that the latest round of lending curbs by Bank Negara Malaysia
would also have a "negative .……….(remaining text not included in this

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it expects Philippine GDP to grow 7%
this year thanks to strong domestic consumption.
"The economic growth momentum here (Philippines) is higher. The region's growth
has been softer than expected, but the Philippines is an outlier," IMF resident
representative Shanaka Peiris said during a briefing.……….(remaining text not

The National Statistics Committee of Belarus has carried out the second
evaluation of Belarus’ gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2013. The
evaluation has revealed that GDP made up Br129 trillion in current prices, up by
3.8% in comparable prices over the first quarter of 2012, BelTA learned from the
National Statistics Committee.
The first evaluation estimated Belarus’ GDP at Br123.3 trillion, up by 3.5%
compared to January-March 2012. The previous evaluation was tentative, because
it was based on the data obtained via statistical surveys, expert analysis and
indirect calculations, the National Statistics Committee informed.
The second evaluation of Belarus’ gross domestic product in the first quarter of
2013 was conducted using three methods: the production method, the method based
on the sources of income and the method based on the use of income.……….(remaining

As crisis-hit Italy struggles to stimulate growth, new figures released recently
showed that the country's economy was in decline.
According to the Italian central bank, national public debt reached 127% of
gross domestic product (GDP) last year, up from 120.8% in 2011, placing the
country second in the European Union (EU) after Greece.
Tax burdens continued to be a major obstacle to recovery, increasing to 44% of
GDP in 2012, up from 42.6% in 2011.……….(remaining text not included in this

Budgetary rigor demanded by international lenders may be the proximate cause of
Portugal's political crisis, but Lisbon is also paying the price for not
whipping its economy into shape in better times.
The survival of Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho's centre-right coalition was
hanging by a thread as the rightist CDS-PP party debated whether to withdraw its
support and leave the government without a majority.
Like ordinary Portuguese, the CDS-PP is resisting further spending cuts needed
to keep Portugal on track to meet the debt-reduction goals laid out in its 78
billion euro (66 billion pounds) bailout program with the European Union and
International Monetary Fund.……….(remaining text not included in this

Britain's powerhouse services sector grew at the fastest pace in two years in
June, completing an economic hat trick after upbeat manufacturing and
construction data reports and putting the country “well on the road to
recovery”.
Strong services data could signal the end on calls for more quantitative easing.
Economists estimated that the UK grew by “at least 0.5%” in the three months to
June, building on the 0.3% growth in the first quarter, with more to come.………..(remaining
