This book presents innovative breakthroughs in Operational Excellence that can solve the operational issues of smart factories. The book illustrates various tools and techniques of Lean Six Sigma 4.0 and details their suitability for manufacturing and service systems. Lean Six Sigma 4.0 for Operational Excellence Under the Industry 4.0 Transformation provides technological advancement in Operational Excellence and offers a framework to integrate Lean Six Sigma and Industry 4.0. The book facilitates industrial managers in dealing with new operational challenges and explains how to use Industrial IoT, Sensors, and AI to collect real-time data on the shop floor. While focusing on developing a toolset for Lean Six Sigma 4.0, this book also presents the enabling factors to adopt Lean Six Sigma 4.0 in the manufacturing and service sectors. The book goes on to explain how to deploy Lean Six Sigma 4.0 in the industry 4.0 era and guides practitioners, and researchers on the path of process improvement in modern-day industries.

The book describes developments on some well-known problems regarding the relationship between orders of finite groups and that of their automorphism groups. It is broadly divided into three parts: the first part offers an exposition of the fundamental exact sequence of Wells that relates automorphisms, derivations and cohomology of groups, along with some interesting applications of the sequence. The second part offers an account of important developments on a conjecture that a finite group has at least a prescribed number of automorphisms if the order of the group is sufficiently large. A non-abelian group of prime-power order is said to have divisibility property if its order divides that of its automorphism group. The final part of the book discusses the literature on divisibility property of groups culminating in the existence of groups without this property. Unifying various ideas developed over the years, this largely self-contained book includes results that are either proved or with complete references provided. It is aimed at researchers working in group theory, in particular, graduate students in algebra.

The book is an attempt to view of agriculture in the South-East part of the Punjab Province during the Colonial Rule and identify the broad trends in agriculture.This area had a distinct identity as a sub-region and being predominated by agriculture and has been seen as 'backward' in comparison to the rest of the Punjab Province. No systematic and detailed study of this area during this period has been undertaken so far and the political experience of this area has been different and rather bitter because of its earlier annexation in 1803, whereas the other area of Punjab was annexed in 1849.This was clearly underlined in the policy of Colonial State after 1857 revolt;because the people of this area had enthusiastically participated in this revolt.Hence, present attempt aims at the detailed study of this area for the complete understanding of political, social and economic history of the South-East Punjab.The book mainly traces the introduction and agricultural geography of the area, agrarian society, British agrarian policy and agricultural development.The present book is an endeavor to put a match to the expectations of mainly students, teachers, social scientists and agriculturists.
