Rubenstein Technology has traditionally advanced faster than our ability to manage it. Here is a book designed to assist the professional in furthering the corporate technology program through its effective management. Based on studies of over 200 decentralized firms spanning a period of thirty years, Managing Technology in the Decentralized Firm addresses crucial aspects of the research and development and innovation processes, and suggests how to make them pay off. 1989 (0 471-61024-0) 476 pp. Statistical Quality Control for Manufacturing Managers William S. Messina In today’s competitive environment, the responsibility of the manufacturing manager has expanded to include ownership of the quality of the products coming off the line. The author uses real-life business situations to demonstrate how a manager can incorporate statistical quality control (SQC) into virtually any manufacturing line. He also offers practical advice on techniques managers can use to improve quality, increase productivity, and enhance the competitive position of the line. 1987 (0 471-85774-2) 331 pp. Management of Technological Change Yassin Sankar Technology produces changes within the organization that must be considered for effective implementation of innovations. This book focuses on the dynamics of technological change, especially the human aspects. The author examines the impact of technological change on job design, work flow, job stress, the elements of corporate culture, the organizational system, the information technology of the organization, the leadership style and strategic premises, the organizational design, and the value systems of managers and the organization. 1991 (0 471-63147-7) 374 pp.

Book Advanced Manufacturing

Download or read book Advanced Manufacturing written by William B. Bonvillian and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to rethink innovation and revitalize America's declining manufacturing sector by encouraging advanced manufacturing, bringing innovative technologies into the production process. The United States lost almost one-third of its manufacturing jobs between 2000 and 2010. As higher-paying manufacturing jobs are replaced by lower-paying service jobs, income inequality has been approaching third world levels. In particular, between 1990 and 2013, the median income of men without high school diplomas fell by an astonishing 20% between 1990 and 2013, and that of men with high school diplomas or some college fell by a painful 13%. Innovation has been left largely to software and IT startups, and increasingly U.S. firms operate on a system of “innovate here/produce there,” leaving the manufacturing sector behind. In this book, William Bonvillian and Peter Singer explore how to rethink innovation and revitalize America's declining manufacturing sector. They argue that advanced manufacturing, which employs such innovative technologies as 3-D printing, advanced material, photonics, and robotics in the production process, is the key. Bonvillian and Singer discuss transformative new production paradigms that could drive up efficiency and drive down costs, describe the new processes and business models that must accompany them, and explore alternative funding methods for startups that must manufacture. They examine the varied attitudes of mainstream economics toward manufacturing, the post-Great Recession policy focus on advanced manufacturing, and lessons from the new advanced manufacturing institutes. They consider the problem of “startup scaleup,” possible new models for training workers, and the role of manufacturing in addressing “secular stagnation” in innovation, growth, the middle classes, productivity rates, and related investment. As recent political turmoil shows, the stakes could not be higher.

Book Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications

Download or read book Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications written by Ian Gibson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-06-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) combine novel manufacturing techniques and machines with the application of information technology, microelectronics and new organizational practices within the manufacturing sector. They include "hard" technologies such as rapid prototyping, and "soft" technologies such as scanned point cloud data manipulation. AMTs contribute significantly to medical and biomedical engineering. The number of applications is rapidly increasing, with many important new products now under development. Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications outlines the state of the art in advanced manufacturing technology and points to the future development of this exciting field. Early chapters look at actual medical applications already employing AMT, and progress to how reverse engineering allows users to create system solutions to medical problems. The authors also investigate how hard and soft systems are used to create these solutions ready for building. Applications follow where models are created using a variety of different techniques to suit different medical problems One of the first texts to be dedicated to the use of rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and associated software for medical applications Ties together the two distinct disciplines of engineering and medicine Features contributions from experts who are recognised pioneers in the use of these technologies for medical applications Includes work carried out in both a research and a commercial capacity, with representatives from 3 companies that are established as world leaders in the field – Medical Modelling, Materialise, & Anatomics Covers a comprehensive range of medical applications, from dentistry and surgery to neurosurgery and prosthetic design Medical practitioners interested in implementing new advanced methods will find Advanced Manufacturing Technology for Medical Applications invaluable as will engineers developing applications for the medical industry. Academics and researchers also now have a vital resource at their disposal.

Book Human Resource Practices for Implementing Advanced Manufacturing Technology

Download or read book Human Resource Practices for Implementing Advanced Manufacturing Technology written by and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a study of 16 sites that have recently implemented advanced manufacturing technology, concludes that while the technology itself will become widespread, the human resources practices used for its implementation will not be easily transferred. Manufacturers will need to spend more time and effort to develop the needed organisational and industrial relations capabilities.
