LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

LeanSpeak The Productivity Business Improvement Dictionary

This dictionary specific to lean business processes contains over 500 terms used in lean management and manufacturing. Easy to access accurate and comprehensive LeanSpeak will become the desktop tool of choice for lean manufacturing practitioners from the shop floor to the corner office. Here are some examples of entries in LeanSpeak:gemba: Japanese word of which the literal translation is the real place. In the manufacturing field gemba means the shop floor where the actual product is being made as contrasted to the office where support services are provided. lean: shorthand to refer to a lean manufacturing system of which the Toyota Production System is the foremost example that has relatively little non-value-adding waste and maximum flow. The term has been used pejoratively to refer to anti-labor practices intending to reduce the number of workers within a company and to strong-arm tactics with suppliers. takt time: the rate at which product must be turned out to satisfy market demand. It is determined by dividing the available production time by the rate of customer demand. For example if customers demand 240 widgets per day and the factory operates 480 minutes per day takt time is two minutes. If customers want two new products designed per month takt time is two weeks. It is a calculated number not a reflection of your capability. It sets the pace of production to match the rate of customer demand.

Corporate Culture and Globalization Ideology and Identity in a Global Fashion Retailer

Corporate Culture and Globalization Ideology and Identity in a Global Fashion Retailer

This book offers an ethnographic analysis of how corporate culture has been transformed in the age of globalization and promotes the importance of a national ideology’s role in corporate culture studies. Based on 15 months of participant observation as a shop-floor salesperson this book explores the gap between management-created corporate ideology and employees’ interpretations of and responses to this ideology. This book approaches the issue by examining the formation dissemination and interpretation of corporate ideology at a global Japanese fashion retailer in Hong Kong. It does so by charting the history of the company’s corporate policy: from centralized attempts at corporate employee management through the creation of store manager missionaries intended to disseminate their ideology to the ultimately unexpected outcomes as corporate ideology collided with its interpretations by store employees. The interdisciplinary nature of this book will appeal to scholars and upper-level students in the fields of management marketing anthropology and cultural studies as well as those interested in globalization cross-cultural management and retail management. | Corporate Culture and Globalization Ideology and Identity in a Global Fashion Retailer

Rogues Rebels And Rubber Stamps The Politics Of The Chicago City Council 1863 To The Present

Rogues Rebels And Rubber Stamps The Politics Of The Chicago City Council 1863 To The Present

In Rogues Rebels and Rubber Stamps Dick Simpson challenges and recasts current theories of Regime Politics as he chronicles the dramatic story of the civic wars in the Chicago City Council since the civil war. At the same time the author provides a window into the broader struggle for democracy and justice. Simpson points out that through analyzing city council floor fights battles at the ballot box and street demonstrations one can begin to see certain patterns of conflict emerge. These patterns demonstrate that before the Great Depression fragmented city councils were dominant. The author also discusses how since the Democrats seized control of Chicago government after the Great Depression Rubber Stamp City Councils have been predominant although they have been punctuated by brief eras of council wars and chaos. This book is important for anyone wanting to understand the nature of these battles as a guideline for America's future and is well suited for courses in urban politics affairs and history. Rogues Rebels and Rubber Stamps received an Honorable Mention for the 2001 Society of Midland Authors Book Award for Adult Non-Fiction. | Rogues Rebels And Rubber Stamps The Politics Of The Chicago City Council 1863 To The Present

Red Magic The World’s Best Fairy Tales Collected and Arranged by Romer Wilson

Red Magic The World’s Best Fairy Tales Collected and Arranged by Romer Wilson

With a Preface and biographies from Jack Zipes as well as the original illustrations by Kay Nielsen this collection of fairy tales originally published by the award-winning Romer Wilson – Green Magic (1928) Silver Magic (1929) and Red Magic (1930) – offers a combination of classic fairy tales alongside lesser known global and diverse tales.

It also contains previously unpublished tales such as “Princess Silver Silk” and “The Enchanted Deer. ” It was Romer Wilson’s intention to combine the familiar with the unknown and to introduce authors and cultures from a variety of countries. As a researcher Wilson uncovered a remarkable amount of stories from other countries that remain unknown today. This collection gives voice to unique and intriguing tales that inspire children to have a better understanding of how people and their stories are alike despite major differences. Through his Preface and commentary Jack Zipes shows how all three books are a means to bring people together in the name of peace and justice.

On the Shoulders of Giants

On the Shoulders of Giants

Mathematics is the only science with a methodology based upon deductive logic whereas physics is a quantitative science based upon experiment and observation in which trial and error are inherent. Physics uses the most relevant mathematics for example using group theory to explain the theoretical basis for the crystalline structure of solids an illustration of how time and time again a mathematical theorem perhaps developed by a Greek philosopher is relevant to today's newly developed physics proof. On the Shoulders of Giants investigates the relationship between the disciplines of physics and mathematics and shows how many of the most significant advances of 20th-century physics rely on mathematics developed sometimes much earlier with no particular physics application in mind. Quoting from mathematicians such as Poincar nd Euclid and physicists such as Newton and Feynman the links between the two disciplines are explored in the author's entertaining style providing a fascinating account of the twists and turns in scientific progress through the ages. Challenging stimulating and questioning the book explains how the uncanny ability of formal and abstract mathematics can interpret the properties of the physical world. Using a wide ranging set of examples it illustrates the manner in which mathematics has been applied to physics and even points to directions for future research. The book discusses how to fill space without leaving gaps; Euclidean geometry its limitations and the bending of space; the laws of musical harmony sound vibrations and the confinement of electrons in solids; how to tile a floor efficiently; Newton's Laws of Motion chaos and the weather; group theory and garlic; the laws of chance; route-planning in Konigsberg with Euler; the rules that turn bath bubbles into suds; the shape of soot; and the Schr dinger equation and why a pendulum can never stop.
