Made-to-Order Lean: Excelling in a High-Mix, Low-Volume Environment
Greg Lane posits that the methods and tools of the Toyota Production System and other lean principles, which have rendered remarkable results in high-volume manufacturing plants, have not been fully understood and correctly applied in high-mix, low-volume environments. Instead, practical adaptations and alternate methods must be embraced in a low-volume environment. Made-to-Order Lean is specifically aimed at manufacturers that have hundreds to thousands of active part numbers, with few (or none) of these parts having ongoing forecasted volumes, and job shops that build only to order. The primary focus is eliminating non-value added activities and instituting improvements on the most repetitive jobs - this strategy gives you more time to produce your low-volume work or one-offs. This workbook: Is based on Toyota methodology and explains critical adaptations to high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. Is fully illustrated with charts and pictures from successful applications in low-volume environments. Talks to the reader in a simple, logical fashion that clearly advocates the need to change and the benefits of the lean transformation. This book is written for plant managers, manufacturing managers, and lean practitioners who find difficulty in applying lean principles in their low-volume plants. "Finally, here is a practical guide to simply introduce the Toyota Production System (TPS) in job shop environments...If you own, manage, or work in a job shop and will simply give a try to the ideas, tools and principles described in this book, I predict you will find great success and will refer to this book over and over for years." --From the Foreword by John Shook, The TWI Network, Ann Arbor, July 2007.

Object-Oriented JavaScript: Create scalable, reusable high-quality JavaScript applications and libraries
Once listed in the "nice to have" sections of job postings, these days the knowledge of JavaScript is a deciding factor when it comes to hiring web developers. And rightly so. Where in the past we used to have the occasional few lines of JavaScript embedded in a web page, now we have advanced libraries and extensible architectures, powering the "fat-client", AJAX-type rich internet applications. JavaScript is the language of the browser, but it's also heavily employed in many other environments: server-side programming, desktop applications, application extensions and widgets. It's a pretty good deal: you learn one language and then code all kinds of different applications. While this book has one chapter specifically dedicated to the web browser environment including DOM, events, and AJAX tutorials, the rest is applicable to all the other environments too. This book treats JavaScript as a serious object-oriented language, showing you how to build robust, maintainable, and powerful libraries and applications. Along the way, we cover many of the recent innovations such as AJAX, JSON, and interesting design and coding patterns. After reading this book, you'll be prepared to ace your JavaScript job interview and even impress with some bits that the interviewer maybe didn't know. You should read this book if you want to be able to take your JavaScript skills to a new level of sophistication. What you will learn from this book? * Learn to think in JavaScript, the language of the web browser * The basics of object-oriented programming, and how they apply to JavaScript * Set up and use your training environment (Firebug) * Master data types, operators, and flow control statements * Understand functions: usage patterns, variable scope, and built-in functions * Closures demystified * Create and use objects * Understand and use prototypes * Reuse code with common patterns for inheritance * Understand and work with the BOM (Browser Object Model) * The DOM (Document Object Model) - accessing, modifying, adding, and deleting nodes * Build responsive web pages with AJAX * JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) * Listen and respond to browser events * Apply design patterns to solve common problems * Adopt coding patterns that unleash the unique power of the language * Make your programs cleaner, faster, and compatible with other programs and libraries * Achieve missing object-oriented features in JavaScript such as private properties and methods
Who is this book written for? The book requires no prior knowledge of JavaScript and works from the ground up to give you a thorough grounding in this powerful language. If you do already know some JavaScript, you will find plenty of eye-openers as you discover just what the language can do. This book takes a do-it-yourself approach when it comes to writing code, because the best way to really learn a programming language is by writing code. You are encouraged to type code into Firebug's console, see how it works and then tweak it and play around with it. There are practice questions at the end of each chapter to help review what you have learned..

Oh My Goth
A fiercely individualist Goth girl wakes up to discover that the whole world has gone Goth and she's actually -- gag -- popular.Jade Leigh is a nonconformist who values individuality above all else. She has a small group of like-minded Goth friends who wear black, dabble in the dark arts, and thrive outside the norm. They're considered the "freaks" of their high school. But when Jade's smart mouth lands her in trouble -- again -- her principal decides to teach her a lesson she'll never forget. Taken to a remote location where she is strapped down and sedated, Jade wakes up in an alternate universe where she rules the school. But her best friends won't talk to her, and the people she used to hate are all Goth. Only Clarik, the mysterious new boy in town, operates outside all the cliques. And only Mercedes, the Barbie clone Jade loathes, believes that Jade's stuck in a virtual reality game -- because she's stuck there, too, now living the life of a "freak." Together, they realize they might never get back to reality...and that even if they do, things might never be the same..

CCD Astrophotography: High-Quality Imaging from the Suburbs (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series)
Not all amateur astronomers who live in a suburban location realize just how very effective a ‘chilled-chip’ astronomical CCD-camera and software can be at cutting through seemingly impenetrable light-pollution. CCD Astrophotography from the Suburbs details one man’s approach to the problem of getting high-quality astronomical images under light-polluted conditions. Adam Stuart has written this reference book for all amateur astronomers who are interested in CCD imaging, especially those who have to work under suburban conditions. The book outlines the materials and (commercially-available) equipment used for high-quality imaging. The many wonderful images Dr. Stuart has produced allow the reader to see the product of – initially – a fellow beginner’s efforts. The glorious images found in numerous books, and especially those seen in Sky and Telescope magazine – might seem out of reach. But this is not really the case. Respectable images are attainable with modest equipment. This book outlines a complete and thoroughly tested working program for every beginner to achieve high-quality digital imaging. .

Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation
The 5th Edition of Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation by Burgelman, Christensen, and Wheelwright continues its unmatched tradition of market leadership, by using a combination of text, readings, and cases to bring to life the latest business research on these critical business challenges. Strategic Management of Technology and Innovation takes the perspective of the general manager at the product line, business unit, and corporate levels. The book not only examines each of these levels in some detail, but also addresses the interaction between the different levels of general management - for example, the fit between product strategy and business unit strategy, and the link between business and corporate level technology strategy. Each part of the book starts with an introductory chapter laying out an overall framework and offering a brief discussion of key tools and findings from existing literature. The remainder of each part offers a selected handful of seminar readings and case studies. Almost all of the cases deal with recent events and situations, including several that are concerned with the impact of the Internet. A few "classics" have been retained, however, because they capture a timeless issue or problem in such a definitive way that the historical date of their writing is irrelevant..
