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

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

For well over half a century since the first credible warnings of petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s contemporary industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a culture more focused on problem solving than any other has repeatedly failed to deal with or even consider the problem most likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport and no known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and its consequences as a case study in the social psychology of collective failure and as an issue with which psychologists and therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead. | Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Egypt is a country of tremendous land resources but limited water resources The area of cultivated land is only 3. 2 per cent of the gross area. The river Nile is the main sources of water. In the recent years the Governement established large-scale agricultural projects in light of food security related to the population growth. Expansion of irrigated agriculture has to be predomantly relalized bt increasing the water use efficiency. In Egypt the dominant irrigation method is surface irrigation which covers approximately 83 per cent of the irrigated areas. Surface irrigation or gravity methods are generally characterized by a low efficiency. One opportunity to increase the efficiency is to convert surface irrigation to modern irrigation systems which are generaly highly expensive for a country like Egypt. Another option to increase the efficiency of surface irrigation systems is to convert the traditional irrigation method based on continuous flow to surge flow irrigation. Surge flow irrigation is the intermittent application of water to furrows in a series of relatively short on and off time periods. | Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

The Musician's Body A Maintenance Manual for Peak Performance

The Musician's Body A Maintenance Manual for Peak Performance

Musicians suffer greatly from industry-related injury and illness and many of these problems are established during student days or even before. This affects all forms of music-making from classical through jazz and rock to traditional folk. Hearing damage is of serious concern in most forms of music-making but the most stressful situations and the most physical damage is recorded in the practice of classical music. The long hours of practice at the beginning of a musician's career are the main source of problems that sometimes only reveal themselves in later life. This book is aimed equally at student musicians practising musicians and instrumental and vocal teachers and it aims to help them to begin to understand how and why their bodies function as they do when they perform and also how they may avoid professionally related illness or injury and achieve the highest standards of performance. The principal author Dr Jaume Rosset i Llobet is a medical expert and an internationally acclaimed researcher on the subject. He is the Director of a Centre for the Physiology of The Arts in Terrassa Catalonia one of the few clinics in the world to which musicians dancers and performing artists can go for assessment and treatment.

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
