Process control is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses a combination of analytical and process chemistry, process engineering and multivariate data analysis. Process analytical techniques (PATs) involve monitoring and control of chemical and physical processes in order to obtain products with desired properties, to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce process costs. PATs have been utilised in various industrial branches to gain a deeper understanding of particular process stages, identify crucial control parameters, ensure the product quality by optimal design and determine the process disturbances. This book discusses strategic management accounting and green supply chain management; analyses the plant-wide control structures for industrial processes'; the use of vibrational spectroscopy as a tool for in-line process monitoring; and effects of resolution of measurements in the behaviour of cumulative sum control charts.

Innovation is paramount to survival today. Ideas are the pipeline to innovation. How your organization nurtures, reviews, and implements ideas will determine how you compete in today's world. Increasingly your entire workforce prefers to work on-line in more open collaborative environments. Yet leadership requires results to core issues they feel are the key strategies to your organization succeeding. Current approaches to linking ideas to on-line collaboration lack effective features of prior Idea Management processes that preceded them. The crowd can miss many great ideas. Strategic Collaboration is an approach to align your ideation activities to leadership goals in an online collaborative environment. It marries the strengths of prior Idea Management processes with the new tools of online collaboration. This book takes core concepts from the prior workbook by the author ("The A to Z of Idea Management - For Organizational Improvement and Innovation - 3rd Edition") and applies them directly to how organizations can integrate proven Idea Management strategies with popular Social Networking approaches. The author uses his over two decades experience in Idea Management and supplies an approach to Strategic Collaboration that provides results in a modern on-line environment. An example implementation is included.

Manufacturing plays an important role in the nation's economy, employment, and national defence. Accordingly, Congress has maintained a strong interest in the health of the U.S. manufacturing sector. The Obama Administration has undertaken a number of initiatives intended to support U.S. manufacturing, including establishment of the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office (AMNPO), Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia program, National Robotics Initiative, and Materials Genome Initiative. In his FY2013 budget, President Obama proposed the creation of a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) to help accelerate innovation by investing in industrially relevant manufacturing technologies with broad applications, and to support manufacturing technology commercialisation by bridging the gap between the laboratory and the market. This book describes the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation while providing guidance on intellectual property rights for it, as well as institute performance metrics for NNMI.

Structures that are essential for economy and security such as energy production, transportation and supply, water supply, buildings, are susceptible to failure, because of defects already present in the material, or created at fabrication, or appearing during service. Methods of assesment of the nocivity of these defects are needed, to predict the remaining service life and the eventual emergency of stopping service and repairing, if possible. To reach this objectives, this book presents the last methods derived from the classical linear, non-linear fracture mechanics concepts, including fatigue and notch fracture mechanics. Several examples of structures rehabilitations and repairing are given.

This book gathers the presentation made during the Advanced Research Workshop held in Portoroz (Slovenia) in October 2008, under the auspices of NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme. It is edited by Professor Guy Pluvinage from the University Paul Verlaine - Metz (France) and Professor Aleksandar Sedmak from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Both have a long and rich experience in analysis of theoretical and practical cases in safety and reliability of structures. Other contributors are all known as experts in the areas of fatigue, facture and reliability of structures.

Gegenstand der Eroerterungen dieses Buchs ist "Qualitatsmanagement". Dieser Name e- stand fur diese Wissenschaft vor 50 Jahren in der "Begeisterung der ersten Stunde". Der - griff Qualitat stand dabei Pate, bevor er fachlich definiert war. Deshalb wurde "Qualitats- nagement" von Anfang an oft missverstanden. Inzwischen versteht den fachlichen Qualita- begriff aber fast jeder, weil er im eigenen Interesse Prufberichte von Testinstituten liest. Man weiss Es gibt gute und schlechte Qualitat. Niemand kommt aber gegen die vielen Milliarden fur die Werbung an, die mit allen psychologischen Mitteln "Qualitat" als das Gute schlechthin anpreist. Qualitat riecht gut, sie schmeckt gut, sie fuhlt sich zauberhaft an. Solche Fehlv- stellungen gibt es auch anderswo. "Geiz ist geil" weist die Richtung. Ein Handy kennt jeder als kompliziertes technisches Produkt. Aber Geld wird ausgezahlt, wenn man eines "kaufen" moechte. Hat solche Irreleitung zum Kaufanreiz mit der Angst vor der Globalisierung zu tun? Qualitatsmanagement ist Beschaffenheitsmanagement. Es betrifft meist viele Merkmale der Beschaffenheit. Diese muss bei jedem Angebotsprodukt und jeder Tatigkeit oder Dienstle- tung so gestaltet werden, dass die Wunsche und Erwartungen des potentiellen Kunden zeitgerecht erfullt werden und zugleich auch so gekonnt wirtschaftlich, dass der Anbieter diesem Kunden einen akzeptablen Preis bieten kann. Und es kommt noch etwas hinzu: Nach 102 Jahren ohne Veranderung gilt ab 2002 im Schuldrecht des Burgerlichen Gese- buches (BGB) fur die Anerkennung einer mit angemessener Sorgfalt betriebenen Leistun- erstellung auf allen Gebieten: Die Sache muss die "vereinbarte Beschaffenheit" haben. Qualitatsbezogen ist das der rechtliche Massstab des 21.

The book is an excellent guide for Marine Engineers, especially those who have just about started with a career out at sea. Lost in the confines of a never-seen-before engine room, this book brings a deep insight into the actual functioning and the ropes of maintaining machinery on a sea going vessel. Most books are written with the purpose of succeeding at the examinations for certification. This book discusses performance criteria of equipment in detail, maintenance based on those criteria with over 170 sketches, drawings and images, and troubleshooting to resolve problems faced on those rust buckets. The book emphasizes training to be a great manager, staying one step ahead of peers (and may be half a step ahead of superiors). Like they say - who needs mathematics to trace a choked filter, huh? A fun book and yet an eye-opener for those still to find their sea legs.
