Nova Science Publishers Inc U.S. Manufacturing Dogfights: China's Steel &
Book SynopsisThe majority of Chinese steel has been used to meet domestic demand in China. However, as its steel production continues to grow, over-capacity is becoming a major concern to Chinese industrial policy makers, as well as steelmakers outside China. Although industry statistics indicate that the Chinese steel industry is not export-oriented, its consistently high output keeps U.S. steelmakers concerned that excess Chinese steel might overwhelm the global market once domestic demand is adequately met. These concerns become increasingly acute as the United States and the rest of the world are in the middle of a slow recovery from the economic recession started in December 2007. This book provides an overview of China''s steel industry and discusses the issues and implications with regard to the U.S. steel sector.

Free Press Lean Thinking Banish Waste and Create Wealth in
Book SynopsisThe authors begin by summarizing the five inherent principles in any lean system: Correctly specify value so you are providing what the customer actually wants Identify the value stream for each product family and remove the wasted steps that don't create value but do create muda (waste) Make the remaining value-creating steps flow continuously to drastically shorten throughput times Allow the customer to pull value from your rapid-response value streams as needed (rather than pushing products toward the customer on the basis of forecasts) Never relax until you reach perfection, which is the delivery of pure value instantaneously with zero muda. (The first part of Lean Thinking devotes a chapter to each of these principles.) In the second part, the authors describe in detail how managers in a wide range of companies and industries - small, medium and large, North American, European, and Japanese - transformed their business by applying the principles of lean thinking. Chapters are devoted to Pratt & Whitney, Wiremold and Lantech in North America, Porsche in Germany, and Showa Manufacturing in Japan.Based on these cases and many others as well, the authors summarize in the last part of Lean Thinking the necessary steps in the necessary sequence to apply lean thinking successfully in your business. They pay special attention to the need to map product-family value streams at the outset in order to identify the most important areas for improvement and to avoid wasted effort on activities that may be technically challenging but which are of little importance to your business.Lean Thinking has sold more than 300,000 copies in the English language hardcover version alone because it's an indispensable companion for every manager making the lean journey.

Book SynopsisAn integral overview of the theory and design of printheads, authored by an expert with over 30 years' experience in the field of inkjet printing. Clearly structured, the book presents the design of a printhead in a comprehensive and clear form, right from the start. To begin with, the working principle of piezo-driven drop-on-demand printheads in theory is discussed, building on the theory of mechanical vibrations and acoustics. Then the design of single-nozzle as well as multi-nozzle printheads is presented, including the importance of various parameters that need to be optimized, such as viscosity, surface tension and nozzle shape. Topics such as refilling the nozzle and the impact of the droplet on the surface are equally treated. The text concludes with a unique set of worked-out questions for training purposes as well as case studies and a look at what the future holds. An essential reference for beginning as well as experienced researchers, from ink developers to mechanical engineers, both in industry and academia.Table of ContentsPreface xi List of Symbols xv 1

Brill Graphics and Text in the Production of Technical Knowledge in China: The Warp and the Weft
Book SynopsisThis collection offers a challenging new interpretation of technical knowledge in Chinese thought and practice. Conveying technical knowledge in China through charts, plans or drawings (tu) dates back to antiquity. Earlier studies focused on specialised forms of tu like maps or drawings of machines. Here, however, tu is identified in Chinese terms, viz. as a philosophical category of knowledge production: visual templates for action, spanning a range from mandala to modernist mapping projects, inseparable from writing but with distinctive powers of communication. A distinction is made between two principal types of tu: ritual/symbolic and representational, highlighting essential issues such as historical shifts in their significance, the relations between tu and political power, media for inscribing tu and the impact of printing, and encounters with the West.Trade Review"This massive and engaging volume, edited by sinologists Francesca Bray, Vera Dorofeeva-Lichtmann, and Georges Métailié, is an important addition to the literature. Devoted mainly to the study of Chinese graphic elements, the book examines their role in society, history, and culture. The volume’s significance lies as much in its methodology as in its broad coverage.(...) These essays, and particularly Bray’s introduction, set up a framework for the study of Chinese tu and raise many questions for further study. They will appeal to students and scholars of visual culture and of the history of science, the history of art, and the history of science, in both China and the West." Jinbang Song, East Asian Science, Technology and Society: An International Journal (2011) 5 "a large and important book. We can congratulate the editors and contributors for a very useful set of essays and and introduction that goes as far as possible toward making them cohere." Nathan Sivin, China Review International 2008: 15/4.

Brill Not Dead Things: The Dissemination of Popular Print in England and Wales, Italy, and the Low Countries, 1500-1820
Book SynopsisCheap print moved across Europe in surprising ways, crossing unusual distances by unusual routes and by unusual means. Pedlars, news, and cheap print defy the conventional categories and models of distribution: we need to think about their extraordinary diversity, and about the means by which their unstable cultural images inflect distribution. Books were not dead things, and the examination of Italy, the Netherlands and Britain, three regions that contain instructive parallels and contrasts, reveals their unpredictable liveliness. This collection of essays, which emerges from transnational dialogues about pedlars and commerce and communication, examines the various means by which cheap print moved across Europe, and the cultural and material and economic premises of the European landscape of print. Contributors include: Alberto Milano; Jason Peacey; Jeroen Salman; Jo Thijssen; Joad Raymond; Joop Koopmans; Karen Bowen; Kate Peters; Melissa Calaresu; Roeland Harms; Rosa Salzberg; Sean Shesgreen.Trade Review“The papers are well documented and the book is nicely produced and adequately indexed. … One of the strengths of the volume is the more than sixty interesting illustrations included in several of the essays, many of which are not widely known.” David Stoker, Aberystwyth University.

Brill Historical Aspects of Printing and Publishing in Languages of the Middle East: Papers from the Symposium at the University of Leipzig, September 2008
Book SynopsisPrint culture, in both its material and cognitive aspects, has been a somewhat neglected field of Middle Eastern intellectual and social history. The essays in this volume aim to make significant contributions to remedying this neglect, by advancing our knowledge and understanding of how and why the development of printing both affected, and was affected by, historical, social and intellectual currents in the areas considered. These range geographically from Iran to Latin America, via Kurdistan, Turkey, Egypt, the Maghrib and Germany, temporally from the 10th to the 20th centuries CE, and linguistically through Arabic, Judæo-Arabic, Syriac, Ottoman Turkish, Kurdish and Persian.Trade Review“…scientifically elaborate and richly illustrated volume.” Nikos Nikoloudis in Journal of Oriental and African Studies 24 (2015) 471-474.Table of ContentsContents Preface Mediæval Arabic Block Printing: State of the Field Karl Schaefer Früher Druck mit arabischen Typen in Leipzig, 17.-18.

Brill Incunabula in Transit: People and Trade
Book SynopsisAlmost half a million books printed in the fifteenth century survive in collections worldwide. In Incunabula in Transit Lotte Hellinga explores how and where they were first disseminated. Propelled by the novel need to market hundreds of books, early printers formed networks with colleagues, engaged agents and traded Latin books over long distances. They adapted presentation to suit the taste of distinct readerships, local and remote. Publishing in vernacular languages required typographical innovations, as the chapter on William Caxton’s Flanders enterprise demonstrates. Eighteenth-century collectors dislodged books from institutions where they had rested since the sales drives of early printers. Erudite and entertaining, Hellinga’s evidence-based approach, linked to historical context, deepens understanding of the trade in early printed books.Trade Review“An intellectual tour de force in the oeuvre of one of our most renowned book historians and incunabulists.” Carol M. Meale, in: The Book Collector, Vol. 67. No. 3 (Autumn 2018), pp. 600–603. “For the amount and quality of information provided, this book will be read by anyone who works with early printing. Yet all early modern historians will find it of interest, especially those involved with European cultural history. Young scholars might also use it as a handbook for the field’s methodology, reflected in the author’s works as well as those of the many scholars mentioned in this book.” Maria Alessandra Panzanelli Fratoni, University of Turin. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 73, No. 1 (Spring 2020), pp. 274–276. “Lotte Hellinga hoort tot de “top in het veld“. In deze bundel geeft Lotte Hellinga […] een helder beeld van de werkwijze van de incunabulistiek, de hogeschool onder de disciplines die de boekwetenschap uitmaken.” (Lotte Hellinga is among the “top in the field“. In this volume, Lotte Hellinga provides [...] a clear picture of the working method of incunabulistics, the honors college among the disciplines that make up book history.) Frans A.

Book SynopsisAre you keeping safe? Electrical wiring and appliances, overhead power lines, machinery, photocopiers, mobiles and cordless telephones, radio masts, TVs, tube trains, x-rays and laser beams are amongst the hundreds of everyday items that are now known to give off high levels of microwave radiation. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can be biologically active and capable of making changes to the structure of human and animal cells which are exposed to them. Long-term exposure is believed by an increasing number of scientists and environmentalists to be connected to tumours, fertility problems, behaviour and mood changes, concentration and memory loss, and also to affect melatonin production and impair our immune system repair mechanisms. The Powerwatch Handbook is a simple no-nonsense guide to EMFs and how to reduce their harmful effect. Alasdair and Jean Philips present their information in a practical, positive and lively way, in an easy-to-follow handbook style. EMF levels are graded us

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC 3D Printing Design
Book SynopsisTo work with the materials of tomorrow, design students across visual arts disciplines need to understand the cutting edge of today. Whether you're modelling in interiors, designing in fashion or constructing for interiors, in your work or as part of a final project, 3D Printing design is an encouraging guide to additive manufacturing within design disciplines. Francis Bitonti gives an insider's view from his design studio on how 3D printing is already shaking up the industry, and where it's likely to go next. Complete with interviews from designers, business owners and 3D-print experts throughout, Bitonti considers whether 3D body scans mean couture for all, how rapid prototyping can change your design method and if 3D printing materials can enhance medical design, amongst other areas of this emerging method of manufacture. This is inspirational reading for the designers of tomorrow.Trade ReviewI highly recommend this book to any designers wanting to delve deeper into the world of 3D printing. It is full of great ideas and case studies, and successfully introduces additive manufacturing from the ground up, sharing the author’s insight, passion and involvement in emerging trends. * Anatol Just, Digital Manufacturing Technical Demonstrator, London Metropolitan University, UK *Francis Bitonti’s luminous book calls attention to the extraordinary opportunities afforded in this dazzling era of disruptive technology, painting a breathtaking portrait of a bold new world. * Evan Douglis, Dean, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA *A consistent investigation of the emerging fields at the crossroads of fashion, technology and architecture... literature is currently lacking a serious and structured book that engages with production technologies and computational design with a precise emphasis on 3D printed fashion. It is a unique instrument for the understanding of the third industrial revolution. I would strongly recommend this book to my students. *proposal review * Niccolo Casas, R.I.S.D. Rhode Island School of Design, USA / Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK *Its greatest strength is that it’s written from the perspective of a fashion insider with the technical chops to create beyond the fashion world. His insight is incomparable and there is no better source than Francis Bitonti to cite this kind of work. I can’t think of any other book that specifically focuses on 3D printing for fashion. This book is necessary for the future of the field, and is also very forward-thinking. Its approach to 3D printing as a challenge to modern-day industrial conventions is also interesting and provides a theoretical background to the functional topics. *proposal review * Antonius Wiriadjaja, Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor at New York University, USA *Fills a void in terms of educational texts: there is no direct competitor that I know of on this admittedly focused topic. This is one of the first texts to address emerging design and fabrication techniques in the fashion industry. By coupling both topics, the book merges these formerly discrete activities into a cohesive single process. *proposal review * Fleet Hower, Lecturer, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York, USA *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Apple Academic Press Inc. The CustomerDriven Organization
Book SynopsisDoes your organization provide customer satisfaction or does it inspire customer loyalty? Which is more important? See how lessons learned from the service sector were applied to manufacturing and other diverse settings, including the nonprofit sector and even on one's own home front.Exploring the Kano Model, The Customer-Driven Organization: Employing the Kano Model explains why just meeting customer needs is no longer enough for today's organizations. It explains how to identify true customersboth internal and external.Readers will learn how to directly apply Kano principles in their own business environments or personal lives, to establish priorities, increase efficiency, improve communication, and expand on existing relationships.The book explains how to establish a value proposition for your organization and, more importantly, how and when to provide delightful service. Demonstrating how to incorporate the Kano philosophy into your day-to-day actiTrade ReviewWhat is interesting about this book is its breadth ... it demonstrates how to use the Kano model and a wide variety of quality tools and methods to build a customer-driven organization of any kind. It takes a wide view of application rather than being in depth. It thereby sets the broader context for really understanding how to achieve customer delight rather than getting bogged down in the tools. After all, what really counts is how the principles, tools, and methods are integrated together to achieve excellent products or services—that is what the customer seeks. That is what this book achieves.—Frank Murdock, MSIE, MS Applied Mathematics; 2014 Chair, ASQ Lean Enterprise Division; Principal Consultant, FKM ConsultingThis book shows how the Kano model, Voice of the Customer, and Quality Function Deployment bring successful products into the marketplace for both service and manufacturing companies.—James Bossert, PhD, CLSSMBB, 2014 Editor of ASQ Six Sigma Forum MagazineThe Kano model is a powerful concept in the world of quality and customer satisfaction. Lance Coleman’s book provides a very helpful introduction, illustrated with many real-world examples that help the reader get beneath the surface of the model. All types of companies, including healthcare organizations, can use this book to verify that they truly understand what their customers (or patients) need and the things that will surprise and delight them!—Mark Graban, Shingo Prize-Winning Author of Lean Hospitals and Healthcare Kaizen, Consultant, and SpeakerWith engaging stories and solid examples of how it can be applied, this book shows how to put the Kano model to practical use along with Hoshin Kanri and Quality Function Deployment. A good roundup of Lean, process improvement, control, and planning makes this book a great guide to putting the customer at the heart of the organization.—Melvyn Thornley M.Eng MBA, CQP, CSSMBB, 2014 New Zealand Organization for Quality Vice President; Managing Director, Thornley GroupThis book brings about the understanding not only of customer satisfaction as most of us understand it but something much deeper than that. Let’s call it ‘Meta Satisfaction’—the satisfaction of experiencing satisfaction. The message in the book is epitomized by a reflection on the conversation with Lance and his wife with a cabin attendant on a cruise ship. When offered praise and a tip for a service rendered, the cabin attendant replied, ‘no tip, thank you, it is my pleasure to serve you.’ Now we are talking Quality.—Paul Harding, MSIA, Executive Director, South African Quality InstituteTable of ContentsPreface, Acknowledgments, About the Author, Introduction, 1 Introducing the Kano Model, 2 Shifting Focus, 3 Planning Tools, 4 Deployment Tools, 5 Metrics and Monitoring, 6 Root Cause Analysis, 7 Project Management, 8 Putting All the Pieces Together, 9 Conclusion, Bibliography
