Types of furniture range from household to institutional, with particular growth in firms supplying medical and government-related commodities. The industry is highly responsive to fashion trends, but is partitioned into high, medium, and low cost segments that reveal different locational and market responses to changes. Recent developments indicate that the post-1980s migration of furniture manufacturing to offshore, low labor cost countries has stabilized and shows some faint signs of reshoring in the United States for high end customized and technologically intensive products utilizing the remaining embedded skilled labor and locally clustered industry components. Businesses that survived the recessionary "creative destruction" largely adopted lean manufacturing processes and took advantage of available lower cost equipment and buildings to upgrade their production practices, absorbing market from former competitors. New partnerships occurred with branch and headquarter relocations in Asia, along with cooperative supplier relationships with former U.S. and new foreign companies. Industry survivors adopted practices that could be highly instructive for other manufacturers challenged by globalization to grow stronger by increasing their adaptive capacity. An overview of the industry and its global production network includes the manufacturing technologies of each sector. 410 0$a2013 digital library. 410 0$aIndustry profiles collection. 606 $aFurniture industry and trade 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $ahemispherization 610 $areshoring 610 $aadaptive capacity 610 $atextiles 610 $acreative destruction 610 $aupholstered furniture 610 $awood furniture/case goods 610 $avalue and supply chain 610 $aglobal production network 610 $aspatial fix 610 $alean manufacturing 610 $aglobal trade 610 $acompetitive strategies 610 $aFurniture 615 0$aFurniture industry and trade. 676 $a684.08068 700 $aWalcott$b Susan M.$f1949-$0989259 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453703903321 996 $aA profile of the furniture manufacturing industry$92262388 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03890nam 2200613Ia 450 001 9910830271503321 005 20230725033123.0 010 $a1-4443-4143-X 010 $a1-283-40702-7 010 $a9786613407023 010 $a1-4443-2452-7 010 $a1-4443-2453-5 035 $a(CKB)2670000000166941 035 $a(EBL)819292 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000576039 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11408263 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000576039 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10553544 035 $a(PQKB)10796803 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC819292 035 $a(OCoLC)739118500 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000166941 100 $a20100319d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aMotherhood$b[electronic resource] $ephilosophy for everyone : the birth of wisdom /$fedited by Sheila Lintott ; foreword by Judith Warner 210 $aChichester, U.K. ;$aMalden, MA $cWiley-Blackwell$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (246 p.) 225 1 $aPhilosophy for everyone 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4443-3028-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aMOTHERHOOD PHILOSOPHY FOR EVERYONE; CONTENTS; Foreword; Acknowledgments; Navel-Gazing at Its Finest: An Introduction to Motherhood - Philosophy for Everyone; PART I MOMMY BRAIN: Truth, Knowledge, and Belief in Mothering; 1 How Many Experts Does It Take to Raise a Child?

Future applications and outlook. 330 $aBesides the regulatory and market aspects, the technical level dealing with the knowledge from multiple disciplines and the aspects of technical system integration to achieve interoperability and integration has been a strong focus in the Smart Grid. This topic is typically covered by the means of using (technical) standards for processes, data models, functions and communication links. Standardization is a key issue for Smart Grids due to the involvement of many different sectors along the value chain from the generation to the appliances. The scope of Smart Grid is broad, therefore, the standards landscape is unfortunately very large and complex. This is why the three European Standards Organizations ETSI, CEN and CENELEC created a so called Joint Working Group (JWG). This was the first harmonized effort in Europe to bring together the needed disciplines and experts delivering the final report in May 2011. After this approach proved useful, the Commission used the Mandate M/490: Standardization Mandate to European Standardization Organizations (ESOs) to support European Smart Grid deployment. The focal point addressing the ESO?s response to M/490 will be the CEN, CENELEC and ETSI Smart Grids Coordination Group (SG-CG). Based on this mandate, meaningful standardization of architectures, use cases, communication technologies, data models and security standards takes place in the four existing working groups.   This book provides an overview on the various building blocks and standards identified as the most prominent ones by the JWG report as well as by the first set of standards group - IEC 61850 and CIM, IEC PAS 62559 for documenting Smart Grid use cases, security requirements from the SGIS groups and an introduction on how to apply the Smart Grid Architecture Model SGAM for utilities. In addition, future standards from ENTSO-E for market communications, standards for electric vehicles and future industrial automation, OPC UA are introduced. 410 0$aPower Systems,$x1612-1287 606 $aSmart power grids 615 0$aSmart power grids. 676 $a333.793 676 $a333.7932 701 $aUslar$b Mathias$0888504 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437782203321 996 $aStandardization in Smart Grids$91985007 997 $aUNINA
