Title: The Packaging Value Chain Description: • Value chain concepts and analysis that benefits packaging • Key methods for packaging manufacturers, suppliers, designers, retailers • Dozens of case studies This book shows how the concepts of the value chain and value chain can improve packaging and create efficiencies. It gives packaging designers, manufacturers, suppliers and buyers new tools for understanding how their respective contribution to packaging development can be more effectively leveraged by understanding in practical terms how each fits within an extended set of people and groups adding value to a package. Using case studies from the packaging industry, the book reveals how value chain thinking solves technical and business problems. Here packaging specialists will find specific recommendations on contracts, innovation and knowledge management that will help them reduce costs, meet environmental regulations, and develop better products. CONTENTS 1. History of the Packaging Supply Chain 2. Value Chain Models 3. Enabling the Value Chain with Improved Relationships 4. Economic Effectiveness of the Packaging Value Chain 5. Raw Material Suppliers and Converters in the Value Chain 6. Large Global Manufacturers in the Value Chain 7. Retail Opportunities with an Agile Packaging Value Chain 8. Using the Value Chain to Ensure More Sustainable Packaging

This volume is a revised version of the original, which is the chief introduction to the fundamental concepts and technology of measuring spindle motion. The new edition has been updated with clearer examples and explanations, as well as improved illustrations. The book furnishes the mathematical tools to understand--and correct--various kinds of motion and rotational errors. Using case studies and practical examples, the author explains how to set up devices for measuring spindle motion. The book then presents a detailed analysis of precision spindle metrology data and demonstrates how the data can be utilized to understand and improve the performance of spindle-based machinery, measured to the nanometer level. About the Author: Dr. Eric Marsh is a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Penn State University. He holds a doctorate from MIT where he worked in the precision engineering group of Professor Alexander Slocum. Dr. Marsh's current work focuses on spindle metrology, ball bearing metrology, and precision grinding, including novel ways of monitoring the grinding of glasses and ceramics.

Covers all phases of metal foam theory and technology Techniques linking pore structure to custom properties New applications in transportation, energy absorption, and orthopedic implants Foams from a variety of metals as well as special shapes and lotus-type  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This book offers the first full-scale technical treatment of an important class of engineered porous materials: metal foams. Written by a team of metal foam experts from around the world, the volume offers new, as well as fundamental, information on all aspects of metal foams, including their theory, manufacture, structure-property relationships and applications. The book explains microscopy and modeling tools that enhance the prediction and determination of metal foam properties related to fluid flow, heat transfer, sound absorption and failure analysis. Attention is given to the many techniques for manufacturing and testing metal foams and to how their microstructure can be controlled to create custom properties for applications in acoustics, bone implants, heat sinks, lightweighting and crash protection. The text is sufficiently detailed to offer guidance to design and development engineers, and yet is basic enough to be used as a textbook or reference by students of materials science, mechanical, structural or chemical engineering requiring an introduction to the subject.
