Taylor & Francis Inc Lean RFS Repetitive Flexible Supply
Book SynopsisIs it possible to be repetitive and flexibleat the same time? Using proven examples and quantifiable evidence, Lean RFS (Repetitive Flexible Supply): Putting the Pieces Together demonstrates that repetitive flexible supply (RfS) is not only possible, but that its implementation can help you reach a new level of improved performance in manufacturing and across your entire supply chain.Winner of a 2013 Shingo Research and Professional Publication Award, this book is unique in that it clearly spells out the theory and practice originally published in the Shingo Prize winner, Breaking Through to Flow, with actual stories of Kimberly-Clark's experience in using them over the years with great success. These stories provide a real feel of how this learning-by-doing journey led to aha! moments for those involved. The book also explains why most planning systems in use today will result in a different plan every time, and Trade ReviewI saw the positive impact that RFS has on people and performance at two previous companies – Wrigley and Bacardi. I have high expectations that we’ll see huge improvements through RFS here, once again. —John Broadbridge, VP of Production, The Carlsberg GroupRFS brought smaller production runs, increased performance, lower stocks and stability that is so important for building a continuous improvement culture. It is being adopted by many affiliates across Philip Morris International with great success.—Krzysztof Stolarek, Manager Production, Philip Morris, Polska S.A.This book is the missing link in many Lean journeys.—Daniel T. Jones, Chairman, Lean Enterprise Academy UKRFS is an important part of a Lean Six Sigma journey and has brought stability for sustainable continuous improvement. RfS and its principles are being used in multiple parts of the supply chain to improve flow and business results.—Kevin Smith, Director, Business Process Transformation, Kraft Foods GroupWhat is remarkable is that so few companies or people have arrived at this understanding of heijunka. I have stumbled across no-one, until you, who has discovered this on their own. I think, as you suggest, more people should be able to understand these concepts.—John Shook CEO, Lean Enterprise Institute USAThe importance of creating schedule stability through green stream RfS logic cannot be overstated – it drives customer service and Supply Chain inventory and cost improvements all at the same time.—Steve Ackroyd, Lean Manager & Six Sigma Coach, 3MTable of ContentsForeword, Introduction: Lean Repetitive flexible Supply—Putting the Pieces Together, About the Authors, 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG An Integrated Approach for Added-Value Products from Lignocellulosic Biorefineries: Vanillin, Syringaldehyde, Polyphenols and Polyurethane
Book SynopsisThis book offers the state of the art on the progress and accomplishments of 25 years of research at the Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM - Laboratory of Separation and Reaction Engineering - Laboratory of Catalysis and Materials on lignin conversion to value-added products and their downstream separation. The first valorisation pathway presented for lignin is its partial depolymerisation by oxidation for the production of low molecular weight phenolic compounds, such as vanillin and syringaldehyde, and the second one is the lignin application as macromonomer for polyurethane synthesis. In this book, the authors present the integration of these two valorisation pathways as an exclusive vision of LSRE-LCM resulting from hands-on experience on reaction and separation processes: the integrated process for lignin valorisation. In this perspective, the lignin is oxidized to simultaneously produce syringaldehyde and vanillin, and the obtained by-products to produce a polyol for lignin-based polyurethanes, completing the lignin value chain.

This text basically describes a large number of reliability measures, and shows how they can be translated into Six Sigma measures. … the book does a fine job of introducing reliability engineers or reliability theorists into the basics of the Six Sigma methodology." (Moshe Shaked, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1096 (22), 2006) "Six Sigma is essentially a measure of process capability and allows less than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. … The book is interspersed with several useful case studies from live examples, which make a good reading for a beginner in the subject. The book is recommended to all those who would like to see symbiosis between improved reliability design of a product and Six Sigma strategy for performance improvement." (Krishna B.
