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.

Â· Techniques to plan, shop and contract for, purchase, install and troubleshoot web machines
 Â· For web machine builders, buyers, designers, project engineers, plant managers 
 Â· Film, foil, paper, heavy-duty materials, converting
 Written by one of the world's leading web handling expert and experienced machine designer along with a team of specialists, this hands-on book offers a step-by-step approach to investing in, acquiring and starting up web machinery. It is designed to assist plant-based personnel in the costing and planning of major machinery investment with a rigorous analysis of what needs to be done to acquire or replace equipment with minimal expense and maximum long-term efficiency, no matter what types of webs are being handled. The book ranges over the entire spectrum of machine buying from dealing with salespeople to the technical details of machinery design, contract formulation, financing and maintenance. Numerous case studies illustrate strategies to follow and avoid in purchasing standard, as well as custom designed, web machines.
 From the FOREWORD (by Craig Sheppard, Executive Director, AIMCAL)
 "The book offers excellent and practical advice on how to: Â· Define equipment needs and goals Â· Research the options Â· Prepare specifications and requests for quotes Â· Negotiate contracts Â· Make decisions based on facts Â· Examine options such as standard, custom and one-off designs or rebuilds
 The guide...explains what must be done for acceptance trials, startup and documentation. Other sections of the book examine expectations for the machine's first year and explore ways to address problems..."

Gold and precious metal mining and mineralization in the western United States · Technical analyses of many new mines and high-potential reserves · Exploration geology for gold, silver, copper, cobalt, molybdenum, and other metal deposits · Two-volume book set with full-text searchable CD-ROM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This book comprises over 60 original and fully refereed technical presentations focused on geological analysis and testing of rocks, ores, minerals and elements correlated with gold mineralization and mining in the Great Basin region of the United States. Detailed geological data derived from advanced techniques is supplied for dozens of proven and currently explored mineral-rich areas in Nevada, California, Idaho, Utah, Washington and Alaska, as well as in Mexico and Chile. A wealth of analytic information, including full-color charts and maps, is presented on working gold, silver and copper mines opened or re-opened within the last 10 years, as well as on geological formations identified as promising for high-value future gold discoveries. Written by industry, government, and university researchers, these two volumes provide a wide range of stratigraphic, lithographic, remote-sensing models and core sample analyses, especially of rocks and ores likely to host Carlin-type gold deposits. Original research is presented on geothermal, geochemical, photoluminescent, tectonic and trace element investigations of geological phenomena associated with epithermal gold mineralization.
