The authors argue that lean production should be driven by the
desire to achieve optimal customer service by sensing and
responding to the customer. The customer is at the center of the
process and the organization needs to respond in a holistic way so
that the customer can impact on the design and delivery of products
and processes. The book is based upon substantial research and
practice by leading practitioners and heralds a paradigm shift in
thinking on these issues.
Old tools to build a civilization are presented in 1485 line
drawings in alphabetical order, with detailed descriptions and
actual auction prices. Adzes, anvils, augers, ... vices and
wrenches appear clearly for good recognition throughout this book.
The popularity of old tools has made them competitive items and
there is always something new to learn in the field.
This book reinforces the view that the cerebellum functions as an adaptive control system, automatically adjusting its output as needed for such eventualities as temporary or lasting muscle weakness. It is the first text to synthesize the substantial body of literature on the subject, combining the neuroscience of the cerebellum with the science of control theory common to electrical and computer engineers. An appendix demonstrates evidence to support the adaptive control model from a detailed comparison of the cerebellum with an adaptive signal processor of the author's design and construction. In addition, the author's clinical perspective offers a broader view of cerebellar function beyond basic neuroscience.
The great majority of papers on brain research that have been
published in Mainland China in recent years have appeared in the
Chinese language (only a small fraction of the work has appeared in
English in the journal Scientia Sinica), and hence they have
remained inacces sible to other workers, since there have been no
translation programs of publications in this field in Chinese of
the types that have existed, for example, for Russian-language
materials. Accordingly, most investigators are not aware of the
work of their Chinese colleagues in this field. Yet the field has
been an active if small one in China, and has covered a variety of
topics that include electrophysiology, neurochemistry,
neuropharmacology, neuropsychology, and in strumentation. Standard
techniques and instruments, a number of Chinese manufacture, have
been employed. Moreover, Chinese workers have been quite familiar
with the publications of other investigators, as is readily
apparent from the bibliographies of the papers (see Index)."

How the cerebellum accomplishes its highly complex feats of
coordination has been the subject of much inquiry; one of the
pre-eminent theories places adaptive control at the forefront. This
book reinforces the view that the cerebellum functions as an
adaptive control system; that is, it automatically adjusts its
output as needed for such eventualities as temporary or lasting
weakness of muscle. It is the first text to synthesize the
substantial body of literature on the subject, combining the
neuroscience of the cerebellum with the science of control theory
common to electrical and computer engineers. Organized in four
parts, the book examines cerebellar anatomy and physiology;
cerebellar function; models and theories; and ends with a summary
and conclusions. The author's clinical perspective offers a broader
view of cerebellar function beyond the basic neuroscience. An
appendix demonstrates evidence supporting the adaptive control
model from a detailed comparison of the cerebellum with an adaptive
signal processor of the author's design and construction.
