Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Chase is a business novel, which is based on a real case study. Its intended audience included the general public, management and administrators, students and teachers in business and engineering schools, and consultant practitioner. This book is unique because it targets the product development aspect of the product productions process. Almost every book written in similar topics concentrate on the manufacturing end of the process. That happens because manufacturing is tangible and visible, while engineering is intan gible and invisible. However, the fact remains that 85 percent of the money in any product producing and service industry is committed in the first 5 percent of the process, which is the engineering. The Chase follows Greg, a chief engineer at Michigan Motor Corporation (MMC) through the difficult task of improving the company's product development process. Greg approaches the problem by defining product, process of creation of the product, process intent and selections of the vehicle (tools) to create the product. The title refers to the continuous task of balancing between Cost, Quality and Time. The improvement of these three characteristics of the product in the design area is an uncanny task. Due to the nature of design and engineering most of the processes needed for product development are intangible. The first thing Greg has to do is to make the system and the processes visible. Greg is guided through the next three challenging years by Damon, a professor and change implementer in the industry. The key concepts that Damon helps Greg to understand are: - System Design Principles - Organizational Learning Principle - Process Models - Methods, Algorithms, Tools - Team Technology Each concept includes a full complement of useful ideas. System design principles for instance are: - Little's Law of Response - Capacity Constraint Theory - Leverage Principle - Whole and Parts Principle - Value Adding Principles Personal and organization politics are critical - but sometimes overlooked - factors in implementing change in any organization. The novel's chief character, Greg is guided through handling these aspects of improvement smoothly as well. In short, The Chase presents not only what to do to improve product development, but also how to do it successfully. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Construction is facing a revolution. No industry will remain untouched by the technological improvements in the communication, processes and tools. The construction industry is no exception. The telltale indicators are arriving. Building Information Modeling (BIM), prefabricated high rises, Google glasses and many other information management tools are showing up on every jobsite and in every industry segment. The signals of market shift, which happened in other markets that industrialized, are here in construction. Like so many other industries, the construction industry is under constant pressure to improve productivity and to reduce cost and waste in its operations. In the era of new industrialization, the construction industry can no longer be content with the "Know-How" of skilled tradesmen but will be looking for the "Know-Why" of resource management. The missing element to make this transition possible is the content, which only exists in the gray cells of the tradesmen. Transferring "Tacit-Knowledge" from its current residence in the heads of skilled tradesmen to an "Explicit-Knowledge" environment requires a careful application of the "Principles of Scientific Management" that developed in the early years of the 20th century.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Industrialization of Construction(R) is going to take the construction industry and its constituents to places it has not seen before, just like it did in other industries. It may shake the core of how electrical contractors operate, and how leading bodies such as ELECTRI International prepare and support the EC industry to keep pace. Book One in this series introduced and explained the steps of Industrialization. Book Two provided tools and an operation model for competing in the new environment. This third book focuses on the roots that will be needed as the environment requires more and more sophisticated business models and practices. The foundation and infrastructure of electrical contracting and supply chain partner businesses will need to change to survive in the future industrialized era. Resource management cannot just be left up to the electricians any longer; processes need to be designed to support a professional operating model and corporate memory that insulates companies from "one bad job" or relying on "our best Project Manager." Methods for risk reduction that will take traditional prefab to another level are explained in this Book 3. The more work that is done away from the time and space of the jobsite, the more these tools will be required. They may have seemed academic or theoretical a decade ago, but they will now become a way of operating as access to tacit knowledge expands with the operating model and practices detailed in Book 2. These principles and practices of Industrial Engineering and the science of work need to be translated and applied across the industry to avoid disruption from a new entrant that will find a way to deliver construction faster, better, and lower cost to end users.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This fourth and final book in the series on industrialization explains how to use the first three MCA-researched books that had examined operational effectiveness, becoming more efficient, and planning to survive both the current environment and all the upcoming changes in technology, business models and market shifts. The research determined that to survive coming changes EC contractors must recognize changes, accept them, adjust for them, integrate the changes in a business operation model, and plan for continuous improvement. By focusing on efficiency and continuous improvement, Book 4 serves as a guidepost for finding and using ways to deal with change. This item is printed on demand.
