Achieve any cost goals in half the time and achieve stable production with quality designed in right-the-first-time. Design for Manufacturability: How to Use Concurrent Engineering to Rapidly Develop Low-Cost, High-Quality Products for Lean Production is still the definitive work on DFM. This second edition extends the proven methodology to the most advanced product development process with the addition of the following new, unique, and original topics, which have never been addressed previously. These topics show you how to: <ul><ul>
<li>Cut cost from 1/2 to 1/10 in 9 categories―with ways to remove that much cost from product charges and pricing
</li> <li>Commercialize innovation―starting with Manufacturable Research and learning from the new section on scalability, you will learn how to design products and processing equipment to scale quickly to any growth levels
</li> <li>Design product families that can be built "on-demand" in platform cells that also "mass customize" products to-order</li> <li>Make Lean production easier to implement with much more effective results while making build-to-order practical with spontaneous supply chains and eliminating forecasted inventory by including an updated chapter on "Designing Products for Lean Production"</li> </ul></ul> The author’s 30 years of experience teaching companies DFM based on pre-class surveys and plant tours is the foundation of this most advanced design process. It includes incorporating dozens of proven DFM guidelines through up-front concurrent-engineering teamwork that cuts the time to stable productionin half and curtails change orders for ramps, rework, redesign, substituting cheaper parts, change orders to fix the changes, unstable design specs, part obsolescence, and late discovery of manufacturability issues at periodic design reviews. This second edition is for the whole product development community, including: <ul><ul>
<li>Engineers who want to learn the most advanced DFM techniques</li> </ul></ul> <ul><ul>
<li>Managers who want to lead the most advanced product development</li> </ul></ul> <ul><ul>
<li>Project team leaders, who want to immediately apply all the principles taught in this book in their ownmicro-climate</li> <li>Improvement leaders and champions who want to implement the above and ensure that the company can design products and versatile processing equipment forlow-volume/high-mix product varieties 
</li> </ul></ul> Designing half to a tenth of cost categories can avoid substituting cheap parts, which degrades quality, and encourage standardization and spontaneous supply chains, which will encourage Lean initiatives. Using cellular Manufacturing to shift production between lines for mixed production of platforms and build-to-order to offer the fastest order fulfillmentcan beat any competitors’ delivery time.

Political science research shows that if someone starts voting as a young adult, he or she is more likely to continue voting as a life-long matter. The challenge is to find a way to make politics exciting, even fun, for young people by engaging them in a way that they willingly take on the civic responsibility to learn about politics and to participate in the process. Youth04: Young Voters, the Internet, and Political Power answers that challenge by using issues to engage young voters in the 2004 election and harnessing the power of the Internet to mobilize them through youth04.org. The success of this nonpartisan effort will subsequently motivate politicians and the media to take the youth vote seriously.

This study looks at the problems facing the imperial police forces during the acute political dislocations following decolonization in the British Empire, from Ireland to India and in the Asian and African colonies. This book examines the changing roles and experiences of the police forces involved. As imperial political authority was increasingly challenged, sometimes with violence, locally recruited police forces became the front-line guardians of alien law and order. The contributors to this volume look at the heightened political involvement of the police, the increase in the size of the force, improvements in armaments and the development of Special Branches. The book also explores the degree to which the central coordination of police activities conflicted with local sympathies and crises in loyalty and recruitment.

Established in the belief that imperialism as a cultural phenomenon had as significant an effect on the dominant as it did on the subordinate societies, the "Studies in Imperialism" series seeks to develop the new socio-cultural approach which has emerged through cross-disciplinary work on popular culture, media studies, art history, the study of education and religion, sports history and children's literature. The cultural emphasis embraces studies of migration and race, while the older political, and constitutional, economic and military concerns are never far away. It incorporates comparative work on European and American empire-building, with the chronological focus primarily, though not exclusively, on the 19th and 20th centuries, when these cultural exchanges were most powerfully at work. This work, part of a series on the British Empire, covers and compares the different ways and means that were employed in policing policies from 1830 to 1940. Countries covered range from Ireland, Australia, Africa and India to New Zealand and the Caribbean.  The book, in line with the direction of the series as a whole, is concerned with cross-cultural matters, drawing in the social and political effects of the topics under review.

Revealing Prophets: Prophecy In Eastern African History (Eastern African Studies)

This book examines the richly textured histories of prophets and prophecies within East Africa. It gives an analytical account of the significantly different forms prophecy has taken over the past century across the country. Each of the chapters takes a new look at the active dialogue between prophets and the communities whom they addressed. This dialogue continues today as the politicians and activists throughout the region still look to prophetic traditions, garnering interpretations of the past in order to provide the validation of prophetic wisdom and heroes for the present.
