The Product Wheel Handbook - Peter L. King - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Product Wheel Handbook - Peter L. King - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Product Wheel (PW) design process has practical methods for finding the optimum sequence, minimizing changeover costs, and freeing up useful capacity. So much so, that the DuPont™ Company and Exxon Mobil are just a few companies that have used the product wheel concept to achieve and sustain a competitive advantage. Breaking down a fairly complex design process into manageable steps, The Product Wheel Handbook: Creating Balanced Flow in High-Mix Process Operations walks readers through the process for designing and implementing the PW technique. It includes a case study taken from actual practice that illustrates the design process and its benefits. Describing how to apply the product wheel technique to any manufacturing operation, the book: - - Details the steps required to implement product wheels - Explains why certain traditional manufacturing metrics should be reevaluated so they don’t inhibit product wheel performance - Defines the cultural foundation necessary for smooth product wheel design and implementation - Includes a real-world case study and several examples of product wheels being used by successful manufacturing companies—including BG Products, Inc., the DuPont™ Company, the Dow Chemical Company, and Appleton Many of the steps in wheel design described in this book are not new. What’s new is their application to production planning and scheduling problems, and more importantly, a clear roadmap explaining how and when they should be used in product wheel design. Supplying you with the tools to reduce the chaos often found in production scheduling, the book outlines a disciplined structure that will allow you to spend less of your time resolving schedule problems. Most importantly, it provides your organization with a stable platform to deal with abnormal events in a less stressful and more logical manner.

Identity, Belonging, and Community in Men’s Roller Derby - Dawn Fletcher - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Identity, Belonging, and Community in Men’s Roller Derby - Dawn Fletcher - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Modern roller derby has been theorised as a gendered leisure context, offering women opportunities for empowerment and growth, and enabling them to carve a space for themselves in sport. No longer a women-only sport, roller derby is now played by all genders and has been heralded as a model of inclusivity within sport. Identity, Belonging, and Community in Men’s Roller Derby offers an insight into how men’s roller derby culture is created and maintained, how members forge an identity for themselves and their team, and how they create feelings of belonging and inclusivity. Through in-depth ethnographic study of a specific, localised roller derby community, this book examines how practices of skills capital intersect with different configurations of masculinity in a continual struggle between traditional and inclusive models of sport. An interrogation of the ways a DIY sport can be seen to be achieved, experienced, and understood in everyday practice, this book will appeal to scholars of men, masculinities, and sport. Additionally, the methodological discussions will be of value to ethnographers and researchers who have had to deal with a disruptive presence.

Redemptus ab hostibus - Andrea Rodeghiero - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

Redemptus ab hostibus - Andrea Rodeghiero - Bog - Peter Lang AG - Plusbog.dk

La ricerca è suddivisa in due parti: nella prima si discute della condizione giuridica in cui versa il cittadino romano riscattato dal nemico ( civis redemptus ab hostibus ), il quale, in base alle opinioni dei giuristi classici e ai rescritti imperiali, risulta assoggettato al potere del riscattante (qualificato in termini di diritto di pegno) fino alla restituzione del prezzo pagato per il riscatto; nella seconda si discute della condizione giuridica in cui versa lo schiavo riscattato dal nemico ( servus redemptus ab hostibus ), la cui proprietà spetta al riscattante, invece che all’antico padrone, secondo una costituzione imperiale di incerta datazione (la cd. constitutio de redemptis ).

Gender, Sport, and the Role of Alter Ego in Roller Derby - Colleen Arendt - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gender, Sport, and the Role of Alter Ego in Roller Derby - Colleen Arendt - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gender, Sport and the Role of the Alter Ego in Roller Derby focuses on the resurgence of roller derby by examining the appeal and dedication to a sport that combines the masculine aggression and physicality of sport with a more feminine, or alternative, style of organizing and community building. No longer a scripted sport filled with fake fighting and hair pulling, derby, though still dangerous, has nevertheless exploded in popularity around the world. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews with women players, Colleen Arendt reveals how derby has come to serve as a site of gender rebellion and emancipation that empowers participants. She demonstrates how players find roller derby a place to build friendships and support networks, while giving back to their community. The book also analyzes the adoption of derby personas, or alter egos, which many players use. While many players derive joy and other benefits from their derby personas, others argue that personas and alter egos detract from the athleticism and legitimacy of the sport. Finally, by considering the relationship between gender, sport, society, and power, this book tries to answer the question: Why derby? Why now?

Through the Pillars of Herakles - Duane W. Roller - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Through the Pillars of Herakles - Duane W. Roller - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this first study of the Greek and Roman exploration for over half a century, Duane W. Roller presents an important examination of the impact of the Greeks and Romans on the world through the Pillars of Herakles and beyond the Mediterranean. Roller chronicles a detailed account of the series of explorers who were to discover the entire Atlantic coast; north to Iceland, Scandinavia and the Baltic, and south into the Africa tropics. His account examines these early pioneers and their discoveries, and contributes a brand new chapter to the history of exploration. Based not only on the literary evidence, but also personal knowledge of the areas from the Arctic to west Africa, the book looks at the people, from the earliest Greeks, through the Carthaginians to the Romans, and examines their exploration of this vast and largely unfamiliar territory. Discussing for the first time the relevance of Iceland and the Arctic to Greco-Roman culture, this groundbreaking work is an enthralling and informative read that will be an invaluable study resource for Greek and Roman history courses

Gandhi's Spinning Wheel and the Making of India - Rebecca Brown - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gandhi's Spinning Wheel and the Making of India - Rebecca Brown - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gandhi’s use of the spinning wheel was one of the most significant unifying elements of the nationalist movement in India. Spinning was seen as an economic and political activity that could bring together the diverse population of South Asia, and allow the formerly elite nationalist movement to connect to the broader Indian population. This book looks at the politics of spinning both as a visual symbol and as a symbolic practice. It traces the genealogy of spinning from its early colonial manifestations in Company painting to its appropriation by the anti-colonial movement. This complex of visual imagery and performative ritual had the potential to overcome labour, gender, and religious divisions and thereby produce an accessible and effective symbol for the Gandhian anti-colonial movement. By thoroughly examining all aspects of this symbol’s deployment, this book unpacks the politics of the spinning wheel and provides a model for the analysis of political symbols elsewhere. It also probes the successes of India’s particular anti-colonial movement, making an invaluable contribution to studies in social and cultural history, as well as South Asian Studies.

Potters without a Wheel - Saswati Bhattacharya - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Potters without a Wheel - Saswati Bhattacharya - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book is an ethnographic study of clay idol-makers of Kumartuli in Kolkata, India. Much of the visibility and identity of Kolkata’s creative culture has been dependent upon the clay artists of Kumartuli for the last 100 years or so. This book explores the nature of the carefully constructed identity of these idol-makers as mritshilpis , or clay artists, who, as opposed to ordinary potters, work with their hands instead of a wheel. It looks at how the mritshilpis consciously embrace and expand their market based on this variation and elevated status as artists instead of artisans and studies the embeddedness of this identity within the commodity markets. It also shows that commodity markets, in this case the market of clay idols, are an outcome of trends of urbanisation, popular demand, corporatisation and commodification of culture, all of which have shaped the contours of clay idol-making as not only an occupation but a brand identity. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the book highlights the larger structural relationship between urbanisation, indigenous occupational categories and identity politics. It will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, political studies, cultural history, urban economy, art history, urbanisation, cultural studies and urban sociology.
