The Kaizen Event Planner Achieving Rapid Improvement in Office Service and Technical Environments

The Kaizen Event Planner Achieving Rapid Improvement in Office Service and Technical Environments

Kaizen Events are an effective way to train organizations to break unproductive habits and adopt a continuous improvement philosophy while at the same time achieve breakthrough performance-level results. Through Kaizen Events cross-functional teams learn how to make improvements in a methodological way. They learn how to quickly study a process identify and prioritize improvement opportunities implement change and sustain their gains. Most importantly they learn how to work with one another to solve problems rapidly and in a highly effective way. In The Kaizen Event Planner: Achieving Rapid Improvement in Office Service and Technical Environments authors Karen Martin and Mike Osterling provide a practical how-to guide for planning and executing Kaizen Events in non-manufacturing settings and conducting post-Event follow-ups to sustain the improvements made. Geared to continuous improvement professionals and leaders within the office areas of manufacturing the service sector and knowledge-worker environments this book provides the methodology and practical tools for generating measurable results while building a motivated workforce and laying the foundation for continuous improvement.

Population and Development in the Third World

Population and Development in the Third World

Allan and Anne Findlay argue that a nation's human population is a vital resource in the development process. Changes in its composition - increased life expectancy combined with a falling birth rate for example - can have profound effects upon a society. Warfare and mass migration of male workers also have long-reaching effects on those left behind. The rapid growth of Third World populations has often incorrectly been identified as the major force preventing more rapid economic development. Population pressure has been known to generate technological breakthroughs. Their final chapter examines family planning programmes and concludes by asking who benefits most from population policies and questioning the right of developed countries to advocate family planning programmes for Third World nations. | Population and Development in the Third World

Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification

This book presents a study of phase field modelling of solidification in metal alloy systems. It is divided in two main themes. The first half discusses several classes of quantitative multi-order parameter phase field models for multi-component alloy solidification. These are derived in grand potential ensemble thus tracking solidification in alloys through the evolution of the chemical potentials of solute species rather than the more commonly used solute concentrations. The use of matched asymptotic analysis for making phase field models quantitative is also discussed at length and derived in detail in order to make this somewhat abstract topic accessible to students. The second half of the book studies the application of phase field modelling to rapid solidification where solute trapping and interface undercooling follow highly non-equilibrium conditions. In this limit matched asymptotic analysis is used to map phase field evolution equations onto the continuous growth model which is generally accepted as a sharp-interface description of solidification at rapid solidification rates. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in materials science and materials engineering. Key Features Presents a clear path to develop quantitative multi-phase and multi-component phase field models for solidification and other phase transformation kinetics Derives and discusses the quantitative nature of the model formulations through matched interface asymptotic analysis Explores a framework for quantitative treatment of rapid solidification to control solute trapping and solute drag dynamics | Quantitative Phase Field Modelling of Solidification
