This is the 3rd book in my King of Obsolete Series which was written back in 2010 when I was drinking professionally. The book was only ever in rough print as an unfinished book but with the Covid 19 lock downs in the year 2020 the book "plates" were lost when my publisher was forced out of business. Now I have changed a few things and added more to tell my stories of the Ladies in my life as the King of Obsolete. These stories are based from 2003 to 2010 when I was young and foolish plus living at the end of the world as a single parent of a daughter and published author.Thansk

Hyundai and Kia Motors The Early Years and Product Development by Donald Southerton (Bridging Culture Worldwide) (45 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Hyundai and Kia Motors: The Early Years and Product Development by Donald G Southerton provides deep insights into the rise of the Korean car industry. From the 1960s to early 2000s, political and economic forces impacted the growth and development of the South Korean carmakers, including Hyundai and Kia Motors. In addition, the brands at times partnered for technology with Ford, Mazda, and Mitsubishi, along with world class designers like Giorgetto Giugiaro. Expanding rapidly the Korean brands soon looked to new international markets, including the U.S. Despite the failure of Kia Motors to survive the IMF Crisis, the merger with Hyundai led to integrated technology research, development, and manufacturing-- not to mention the economies of scale needed for the Korean automaker to compete globally with industry heavyweights such as Toyota, Ford, GM, and VW. Car models discussed including the Kia's Brisa, Pride, Sephia, Sportage, and Rio along with Hyundai's Pony, Excel and Santa Fe.

The Plaston Concept: Plastic Deformation in Structural Materials by Isao Tanaka Price verified 5 hours ago

This open access book presents the novel concept of plaston, which accounts for the high ductility or large plastic deformation of emerging high-performance structural materials, including bulk nanostructured metals, hetero-nanostructured materials, metallic glasses, intermetallics, and ceramics.The book describes simulation results of the collective atomic motion associated with plaston, by computational tools such as first-principle methods with predictive performance and large-scale atom-dynamics calculations. Multi-scale analyses with state-of-the art analytical tools nano/micro pillar deformation and nano-indentation experiments are also described. Finally, through collaborative efforts of experimental and computational work, examples of rational design and development of new structural materials are given, based on accurate understanding of deformation and fracture phenomena.This publication provides a valuable contribution to the field of structural materials research.

Job Shop Leaders: Small Wins From a Factory Life by Torrence Smith (15 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

This book is about job shops. Inside is a combination of stories and practical tips from my experience. It's not theory. This is how I lost money, made money, kept my job, or got promoted. These are all the things I dug through the literature trying to find answers to. Job shops can be many different types of businesses. Factories, distributors, and government offices could all be considered job shops. Job shops are all those places where the work you do, and the volume of work varies from day to day, even custom design businesses where every piece is unique. There were seven challenges I struggled with that I couldn't find adequate answers to. We talk about it here by addressing: controlling lead times, eliminating knack points, Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), solving dynamic capacity, getting to full kit, order unevenness (Mura), and Minimum Viable Process (MVP). If you work in high volume mass production this probably isn't written for you. If you've never lost a night's sleep trying to understand how your business works, put this down. If you like big words and highly technical descriptions I'm not your guy. This book is for the searchers. Because if high-volume production is heavy metal, make to order is jazz. We're looking forward to this. Come on inside. QUESTION AND ANSWER WITH THE AUTHOR: Q: Where did the idea for this book come from? A: Hindsight is such a powerful tool. Sometimes it's good to hit rewind and see how something happened. I'm also afraid of forgetting. So this book serves as a notebook of past projects, observations, and struggles. Hopefully, in some small way, it is also recognition of the people with whom I worked. The factory is much maligned. There's no shortage of stories about people injured in them, or people seeking to escape them. I'd like to show that they are worthy of our efforts and our time. I believe we take joy in work, but the work must be challenging. And I've found that make-to-order factories and businesses fit ...
