In the realm of a high transaction environment I find very little value in trying to analyze data on a day by day basis. That poses the question, what the hell are we trying to achieve being this low in the transaction chain?

Heidelberg - Nachdem Unternehmen wie General Electric, American Express, Allianz, Citibank, Deutsche Bank oder Xchanging gezeigt haben, dass sich die Six-Sigma-Methodik ebenso erfolgreich in der Finanzbranche einsetzen lässt wie in der Fertigungsindustrie, stellt sich für viele die Frage: Wie wird die Methodik erfolgreich im eigenen Dienstleistungsunternehmen implementiert?

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the amount of energy your body would use in a day to stay alive and to maintain your current weight. 

Your BMR can be calculated according to the equation from Mifflin et al.:

BMR = 
(9.99 x w) + (6.25 x h) - (4.92 x y) + s

Where:

w = Weight in kilograms
h = Height in CENTIMETERS
y = Age in years
s = For males, +5
For women, -161

The values returned for BMR are kcal per day. That is, the number of kcal required to maintain your current weight.

1 kcal is equivalent to 1 Cal (dietary Calorie).

Activity

The BMR value can be adjusted for your lifestyle by multiplying by the following activity factors:

Activity FactorCategoryDefinition
1.2 Sedentary Little or no exercise and desk job
1.375 Lightly Active Light exercise or sports 1-3 days a week
1.55 Moderately Active Moderate exercise or sports 3-5 days a week
1.725 Very Active Hard exercise or sports 6-7 days a week
1.9 Extremely Active Hard daily exercise or sports and physical job
