Sommario/riassunto

Life's changes. They happen every day. Some large, some small. A few are very personal. Others impact the world. Dedicated to the People of Darfur: Writings on Fear, Risk, and Hope includes original and inspiring essays that celebrate the glories gained from taking risks, breaking down barriers, and overcoming any obstacles. Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, a gallery of O.Henry award recipients, and many best-selling authors come together to share personal and compelling challenges and experiences. From contemplations on past drug use to reflections on gun control, social justice, passion and its sacrifices, and adventures such as skydiving, mountain climbing, and golfing, the topics vary greatly. This kaleidoscopic anthology is a commentary on the lives of prominent literary artists and ordinary citizens who have made simple, yet powerful choices that provoked change in one's self and for humanityùmuch the same way that Luke and Jennifer Reynolds do by building this invaluable collection for readers and the world of human rights. Not too long ago, as struggling graduate students, Luke and Jennifer Reynolds conceived this uniquely themed volume as a way to raise funds to support ending the genocide in Darfur. Some people carry signs, others make speeches, many take action. What is most special about this book is that it extends beyond words and ideas, into a tangible effort to effect change. To this end, all royalties from the sales of Dedicated to the People of Darfur:Writings on Fear, Risk, and Hope will benefit The Save Darfur Coalition, an organization that seeks to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.

Grundlagen zu 3D-Druck und Lean Production -- Anwendung, Nutzen und Grenzen -- Bewertung im Hinblick auf Lean-Prinzipien und Methoden.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Prinzipien und Methoden der Lean Production haben aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive einen hohen Reifegrad erreicht, ihr Durchdringungsgrad in der Unternehmenspraxis steigt stetig. Die additiven Fertigungsverfahren des 3D-Drucks entwickeln sich sehr dynamisch im Hinblick auf neue Verfahren, Materialien und Anwendungsbereiche. Praktikern, Wissenschaftlern und Studierenden beantwortet dieses Buch umfassend die Frage, inwieweit 3D-Druck die Prinzipien und Methoden der Lean Production unterstützt und als Fertigungsverfahren in ein schlankes Produktionssystem zu integrieren ist. Dazu wird Lean Production kompakt erläutert und Basiswissen zur additiven Fertigung mittels 3D-Druckmaschinen vermittelt. Der Inhalt Grundlagen zu 3D-Druck und Lean Production Anwendung, Nutzen und
