Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Marc Wilson is not giving up. He is determined to turn around the struggling family company and keep it despite his father’s decision to sell. The problem is that they are late on more and more projects and their customers won’t tolerate it anymore. Marc is looking everywhere for a solution when in one of his MBA classes he comes across a unique approach that views operations in terms of flow. The concept of flow is straightforward. It’s easy to visualize the stream of projects going through the system and understand that if something clogs the flow the projects pile up; the lead time gets longer and as a result the reliability of due dates suffers. What is not so easy is to uncover the specific obstacles that obstruct the flow and figure out how to remove them. Goldratt’s Rules of Flow is the book that the great Eli Goldratt author of The Goal wanted to write about his later developments in the field of project management. As he passed away before accomplishing it his daughter Efrat Goldratt a brilliant author in her own right has picked up the mantle. Whether you’re a manager in engineering IT service or sales this book will help you gain much better predictability and significantly improve your delivery. | Goldratt's Rules of Flow

Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Architectural Structures presents an alternative approach to understanding structural engineering load flow using a visually engaging and three-dimensional format. This book presents a ground-breaking new way of establishing equilibrium in architectural structures using the Modern Müller-Breslau method. While firmly grounded in principles of mechanics this method does not use traditional algebraic statics nor does it use classical graphic statics. Rather it solely uses new geometric tools. Both statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures are analyzed using this graphic method to provide a geometric understanding of how load flows through architectural structures. This book includes approachable coverage of parametric modeling of two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures as well as more advanced topics such as indeterminate structural analysis and plastic analysis. Hundreds of detailed drawings created by the author are included throughout to aid understanding. Architecture and structural engineering students can employ this novel method by hand sketching or by programming in parametric design software. A detailed yet approachable guide Architectural Structures is ideal for students of architecture construction management and structural engineering at all levels. Practitioners will find the method extremely useful for quickly solving load tracing problems in three-dimensional grids. | Architectural Structures Visualizing Load Flow Geometrically

Time-Marching A Step-by-step Guide to a Flow Solver

Time-Marching A Step-by-step Guide to a Flow Solver

First published in 1997 this volume recognises that there are at present few if any books on existing CFD codes that are accessible to the academic world in general. And yet such works are of extreme importance if one is to bridge the gap between a CFD course for postgraduate students and the frontiers of current research. This book is especially intended for students commencing research in CFD – taking them step-by-step through the mathematical development of a flow solver. The only pre-requisite to an understanding of this work is a sound knowledge of engineering mathematics. Starting from the governing equations the author explains the theory behind the time-marching approach and proceeds step-by-step to a complete computer program for the Euler solver in two dimensions. The present work is restricted to two dimensions because in the first instance ideas can be assimilated much more easily in the context of two dimensions. The book is written for research students and users of CFD. The material may be of interest even to those not directly involved with time-marching solvers and the presentation is simple enough to be followed by course students. | Time-Marching A Step-by-step Guide to a Flow Solver

A New Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory Practice and Supervision TALKING BODIES

A New Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory Practice and Supervision TALKING BODIES

By viewing psychoanalysis through the lens of embodiment Brothers and Sletvold suggest a shift away from traditional concept-based theory and offer new ways to understand traumatic experiences to describe the therapeutic exchange and to enhance the supervisory process. Since traditional psychoanalytic language does not readily lend itself to embodied experience the authors place particular emphasis on the words I you we and world to describe the flow of human attention. Offering new insights into trauma this book demonstrates how traumatic experiences and efforts to regain certainty in one’s psychological life involve profound disruptions of this flow. With a new understanding of transference resistance and interpretation the authors ultimately show how much can be gained from viewing the analytic exchange as a meeting between foreign bodies. Grounded in detailed case material this book will change the way therapists from all disciplines understand the therapeutic process and how viewing it in terms of talking bodies enhances their efforts to heal. | A New Vision of Psychoanalytic Theory Practice and Supervision TALKING BODIES

The Secret to Maximizing Profitability A Business Novel on How to Successfully Combine The Theory of Constraints Lean and Six Sigma to Dri

This book fully details as the title suggests the real secret to maximizing an organization's profitability. While many companies have implemented improvement initiatives such as Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing there is a missing link which when discovered and implemented will take these same companies to profit levels not seen before. This missing link is the Theory of Constraints and when it’s combined with Lean and Six Sigma true transformational improvements are sure to follow. In this book the author walks you through the step-by-step method on how to combine these three methodologies with the result being significant improvements to flow major improvements in variation substantial reductions in waste superior on-time delivery and ultimately maximized profitability. He has been using this integrated methodology for many years and each time the results realized were well beyond what the leadership teams had experienced previously. The genesis behind this combined improvement cycle is based upon many years of analysis of both failures and successes using Lean Six Sigma and the Theory of Constraints as stand-alone improvement initiatives. By integrating Lean Six Sigma and the Theory of Constraints into a single improvement cycle the author has developed a recipe that will maximize your return on investment cash flow and net profit. The Secret to Maximizing Profitability is both stimulating and thought provoking but more importantly it will provide your organization with a roadmap for maximizing the use of your resources to achieve more bottom-line improvement than you ever imagined possible. | The Secret to Maximizing Profitability A Business Novel on How to Successfully Combine The Theory of Constraints Lean and Six Sigma to Dri

Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

Annie Holt identifies the roots of contemporary Euro-American practices of costume design in which costumes are an integrated part of the dramaturgy rather than a reflection of an individual performer’s taste or status. She argues that in the period 1820–1920 as part of the larger project of modernism across the artistic and cultural field the functions of clothing and costume diverged. Onstage apparel took on a more specific semiotic task acting as a fresh channel for the flow of information between the performer the literary text and the spectator. Modernizing Costume Design traces how five kinds of artists – directors performers writers couturiers and painters – made key contributions to this new model of costume design. Holt shows that by 1920 costume design shifted in status from craft to art. | Modernizing Costume Design 1820–1920

The Rustication of Urban Youth in China A Social Experiment

The Rustication of Urban Youth in China A Social Experiment

In the 1960s and 70s the government of China conducted a rather unusual social experiment called ‘Up to the mountains and down to the village’ which sent urban youths to the countryside in an attempt to reverse the flow of the rural population migrating to towns and cities as was generally occurring in other parts of the world at that time. Originally published in 1975 Seybolt draws together a compilation of documents discussing the project which sent roughly 12 million urban youths to settle in the countryside in the years 1968-1975 alone. The documents discuss issues such as university love and marriage as well as the details of the experiment. This title will be of interest to students of sociology anthropology and Asian studies. | The Rustication of Urban Youth in China A Social Experiment
