Download or read book The Utilization of Just In Time Principles in the Construction Industry written by Rafael Rivera and published by Strategic Book Publishing Rights Agency. This book was released on 2014-04-25 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just in time, or JIT, amounts to efficient and cost-effective material management in building construction. While employed as an estimator, Rafael Rivera was challenged with formulating material takeoffs having waste factors that appeared to be higher than industry norms. This resulted in his project bid being inherently higher and placed his firm at a competitive disadvantage, due to higher carrying costs compared to other contractor bids. He recalls, "On a bid strategy involving a small Mobile City Public Works concrete sidewalk project, I submitted a bid that was very competitive. Although we were not the bid winners, the bid margin between my bid and the winning bid was a meager $4. That is what we call in the construction industry, 'sharpening your pencils.' " His inspiration for publishing this book? "In looking back at some of my projects, I was challenged with storing materials in limited space. The most memorable project was the re-roofing of NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center in Cocoa Beach, Florida." Limited space was a major obstacle, as well as dealing with a multilevel structure where the volume was larger than the New Orleans Astrodome.
Download or read book The Rule of Logistics written by Jesse LeCavalier and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every time you wheel a shopping cart through one of Walmart’s more than 10,000 stores worldwide, or swipe your credit card or purchase something online, you enter a mind-boggling logistical regime. Even if you’ve never shopped at Walmart, its logistics have probably affected your life. The Rule of Logistics makes sense of its spatial and architectural ramifications by analyzing the stores, distribution centers, databases, and inventory practices of the world’s largest corporation. The Rule of Logistics tells the story of Walmart’s buildings in the context of the corporation’s entire operation, itself characterized by an obsession with logistics. Beginning with the company’s founding in 1962, Jesse LeCavalier reveals how logistics—as a branch of knowledge, an area of work, and a collection of processes—takes shape and changes our built environment. Weaving together archival material with original drawings, LeCavalier shows how a diverse array of ideas, people, and things—military theory and chewing gum, Howard Dean and satellite networks, Hudson River School painters and real estate software, to name a few—are all connected through Walmart’s logistical operations and in turn are transforming how its buildings are conceptualized, located, built, and inhabited. A major new contribution to architectural history and theory, The Rule of Logistics helps us understand how retailing today is changing our bodies, brains, buildings, and cities and predicts what future forms architecture might take when shaped by systems that exceed its current capacities.

Download or read book A Nation of Realtors written by Jeffrey M. Hornstein and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-11 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is it that in the twentieth century virtually all Americans came to think of themselves as “middle class”? In this cultural history of real estate brokerage, Jeffrey M. Hornstein argues that the rise of the Realtors as dealers in both domestic space and the ideology of home ownership provides tremendous insight into this critical question. At the dawn of the twentieth century, a group of prominent real estate brokers attempted to transform their occupation into a profession. Drawing on traditional notions of the learned professions, they developed a new identity—the professional entrepreneur—and a brand name, “Realtor.” The Realtors worked doggedly to make home ownership a central element of what became known as the “American dream.” Hornstein analyzes the internal evolution of the occupation, particularly the gender dynamics culminating in the rise of women brokers to predominance after the Second World War. At the same time, he examines the ways organized real estate brokers influenced American housing policy throughout the century. Hornstein draws on trade journals, government documents on housing policy, material from the archives of the National Association of Realtors and local real estate boards, demographic data, and fictional accounts of real estate agents. He chronicles the early efforts of real estate brokers to establish their profession by creating local and national boards, business practices, ethical codes, and educational programs and by working to influence laws from local zoning ordinances to national housing policy. A rich and original work of American history, A Nation of Realtors® illuminates class, gender, and business through a look at the development of a profession and its enormously successful effort to make the owner-occupied, single-family home a key element of twentieth-century American identity.
