Lean production transformed the way that companies think about production and manufacturing. This book provides a new challenge. It arises from the work of the Lean Aerospace Initiative at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and provides a new agenda and bold vision for the aerospace industry to take it out of crisis. It also redefines and develops the concept of "lean" as a framework for enterprise transformation and this will be relevant and critical for all industries and enterprises.

Powder technology is a rapidly expanding technology and nowhere more than in particle characterization. There has been an explosion of new particle measuring techniques in the past ten year particularly in the field of on-line measurement. One of the main aims of this book is to bring the reader up-to-date with current practices. One important area of interest is the improvements in on-line light scattering instruments and the introduction of ultrasonic on-line devices. Another is the introduction of on-line microscopy, which permits shape analysis in conjunction with particle sizing.Schools of powder technology are common in Europe and Japan but the importance of this subject has only recently been recognised in America with the emergence of the Particle Research Centre (PERC) at the University of Florida in Gainsville.- Details all the latest developments in powder technology - Written by established authority on powder technology- A comprehensive text covering all aspects of powder technology and handling of particulate solids including characterization, handling and applications
