Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Profitable production planning is and will remain an eternal challenge to ensuring the prosperity and dignity of companies in a global market. Even though there are different approaches to achieving the target profitability through productivity in the production planning stage these approaches do not guarantee consistent planning creation and sustenance of synchronous profitable operations for multiannual and annual target profit. In feedback to this predicament Alin Posteucă develops a new system called speed-based target profit (SBTP). SBTP is the profitable production management and manufacturing improvement system that approaches production planning to achieve unit speed of target profit for target products through manufacturing cost improvement and bottleneck profitability control for maximum takt time. Managers and practitioners within manufacturing companies will discover a practical approach for cost down and cash up by applying a powerful operational profitable production planning formula to meet profitability expectations through productivity based on strong leadership with the help of a specific system for feedforward concurrent and feedback control. Therefore the SBTP system in this book presents a holistic approach to profitability for target products and the development of its own mechanism since the acceptance of each order from customers to achieve continuous synchronization of all manufacturing processes to market requirements profitability management and profitable production planning. The uniqueness of the book is reinforced by a detailed presentation of the successful application of the SBTP system in two case studies as a way of life and a unit speed of target profit improvement ethos at all hierarchical levels in two multinational manufacturing companies operating in highly competitive markets in order to address the synchronous profitable operations for both the sales increase scenario and the sales decrease scenario. By adopting the SBTP system your company will be able to consistently achieve unit speed of target profit in the bottleneck process for fulfilling annual and multiannual target profit as a unique and effective way through a new profitable production planning paradigm that operates according to its own production system. | Speed-Based Target Profit Planning and Developing Synchronous Profitable Operations

Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-Speed Rail Cities and Regions

Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-Speed Rail Cities and Regions

Spatial Implications and Planning Criteria for High-speed Rail Cities and Regions evaluates the varied experiences that HSR systems have brought about to different station-cities and their regional territories around the world with an eye towards better future planning and policy of such systems. This edited volume draws from examples of high-speed rail operations in different cities in Europe and Asia to depict the various impacts of this major transportation infrastructure. It attempts to distinguish the short- and long-term impacts described in the literature classifying them into regional and inter-urban effects urban effects and wider economic impacts. Planning challenges appear at two major points: 1) during the initial planning stage that includes the route and location of stations; and 2) during the development process that follows. The case studies in the book concentrate on a variety of topics from the impact of high-speed rail on population growth in some station-cities to the regional economic impacts that an HSR system can bring about to the larger territories it passes through to the potential of station-cities to better attract firms or to experience increases in tourism and commerce. They also assess planning strategies and experiences from station-cities to draw lessons for future HSR planning policies. The Chapters in this book were originally published in a special issue of European Planning Studies.

The Age of Distraction Reading Writing and Politics in a High-Speed Networked Economy

The Age of Distraction Reading Writing and Politics in a High-Speed Networked Economy

Connections between time technology and the processes of reading and writing make clear the links between experiences of what appear to be quite different phenomena. Reading and writing have functioned together in a particular way to build the world as we have known it for three thousand years. These interacting processes have now been transformed at their core and are building a different world one where certainties of the previous era are disappearing and being displaced by what the author sees as a chronic and pervasive mode of cognitive distraction. Robert Hassan offers a perspective permeated by a sense of history beginning with the invention of writing and the development of the skill of reading. Together with technological developments these provide a unique view of the trajectory of modernity into late-modernity and illustrate how the arc of progress has transformed. New modes of time technology and reading and writing are helping create a faster world where we know less about more and forget what we know evermore quickly. What is the time of a thought? Is it possible to measure thinking? Can we consider knowledge or information or reading and writing as having temporal rhythms? These are questions Hassan tries to answer. So unfamiliar are we to thinking in such terms that they sound impossible. To a significant degree time thinking and many forms of knowledge are the fruits of subjective experience. We connect experiences at superficial levels where people have different experiences that may be objectively the same but our interpretations will always diverge in respect of the reality we confront. This intersection of philosophy and communication takes the reader into new realms of analysis. | The Age of Distraction Reading Writing and Politics in a High-Speed Networked Economy
