Modern Manufacturing Methodologies have undergone three different evolutionary stages over the past 200 years. Before there were modern manufacturing plants, the world only knew skilled craftsmen who labored as individuals in very small groups to produce goods and services. The first factory evolution came about when James Watt invented the steam engine. Metal cutting, forming and assembly machines were co-located near streams or rivers forming what we now call the Job Shop or the American Armory System. The second factory evolution began when Henry Ford introduced the first modern assembly line using interchangeable parts and standardized manufacturing procedures. This gave rise to the modern flow shop, which reached its zenith during WWII. In the late 1970s, the third industrial evolution began when Taiichi Ohno and the Toyota Motor Company introduced what we now call Lean Manufacturing...and the world came. Over the last 40 years, all forms of manufacturing and service systems have embraced the concepts of Lean Thinking and proved its superiority to traditional manufacturing and service systems design. This book defines and characterizes a new breed of Manufacturing Engineer which we call the Lean Engineer. The Lean Engineer has roots in traditional Industrial engineering, but is also well trained in six-sigma methodologies and understands lean to green factory design principles. However, Lean Engineering transcends and redefines the classic Industrial engineer. Principles of Lean systems design, U-shaped Lean manufacturing cells, Linked Cell Manufacturing System design and Mixed Model final assembly lines are unique Lean Engineering strategies. This book attempts to define for the first time a new manufacturing engineering discipline called the Lean Engineer. This book: Introduces Lean System Design principles Demonstrates the conversion of traditional manufacturing lines into U-shaped Lean Cells Contrasts push versus pull manufacturing strategies Covers Balancing, Leveling and System synchronization Demonstrates Value Stream Mapping and the 7-Lean analysis tools Provides an introduction to Queuing Network Analysis for single and multiple product flows ....and many more Principles which define the Lean Engineer

A result of over 5 years research and investigation, this book presents an unbroken Chronology of the World between when Adam and Eve were expunged from the Garden of Eden until the Crucifixion of Christ. Using scriptural data from the King James Bible and recently discovered Archeological documents, it is shown that the Biblical Record can be accepted as both reliable and historically accurate. This History of the World will hopefully bring the scriptural records to life and provide a valuable point of reference to any Biblical scholar.

The Bible teaches that a time is coming called the tribulation, which will consist of the most difficult and destructive events ever imagined by man. Christ spoke of this terrible time just before He was crucified and warned us to be watchful, ready and prepared. Prepared for what? Almost all modern prophecy teachers proclaim a sudden and imminent event called the rapture. Who cares what will happen next?...After all, we will all be gone. This is a perfect sounding scenario, but is this what the Bible actually teaches? In Revelation: Mysteries Revealed, every prophecy in the Book of Revelation is systematically examined and carefully analyzed. We show that the very words of Christ must be heeded...be prepared and be ready; for the church will not escape tribulation; only the Wrath of God poured out in the 7 bowl judgments. The tribulation period will be framed within the Seven Feasts of Israel and Jewish Messianic expectations, and shown to last only 3.5 years. Over 25 great mysteries will be explained in detail. We hope that this book will provide to you a new understanding of end time events. Be prepared to open your eyes and see.
