Abstract

Het boek 'De Fabriek van de Toekomst nu! - Duurzame productiviteitsverbetering voor kmo's' handelt vooral over de eerste en moeilijkste fase van de weg naar innovatie: de IK fase (zie ook: de weg naar innovatie). Dit boek richt zich in de eerste plaats tot de kleinere industriële bedrijven, de kmo's. Zij zijn heel belangrijk voor de Vlaamse economie als motor van de innovatie. Maar als doelgroep zijn ze ook heel moeilijk te bereiken: vooreerst hebben ze vaak geen tijd om zich bezig te houden met innovatie en strategie omwille van een hectische werkomgeving die weinig gestructureerd is ze hebben beperkte of helemaal geen expertise in methodes om de productiviteit te verbeteren ze beschikken over weinig fondsen om hiervoor externe kennis in te kopen Het resultaat is eigenlijk schokkend: men laat geld liggen terwijl de winstgevendheid onder druk staat. Punctuele acties en korte interventies hebben evenmin veel effect. De hamvraag is dus hoe bedrijven (en kmo's in het bijzonder) duurzame verbeteringen kunnen realiseren die leiden naar innovatie? Om een antwoord te bieden op deze vraag, werd de ERIP methode ontwikkeld en uitgetest. Leren al doende is hier het motto! Vier kmo's in Vlaanderen, en 24 kmo's in West-Europa, gingen u voor. Hun ervaringen en successen illustreren elk facet van de succesvolle methode. Dit boekje is zodanig geschreven zodat het een handig leidraad biedt bij het introduceren van continu verbeteren in uw bedrijf. .

Abstract

Samenvatting:All industries produce waste products that unless treated or mitigated insome way will be harmful to the human or natural environment. These wasteproducts will generally need to be identified according to the industrialprocess in question, neutralized or rendered less harmful and finallydisposed of into the surrounding land, air or watercourses. It istherefore of vital importance to every environmental, pollution or plantmanager or engineer that these processes be fully understood andimplemented or the cost to either the company or the environment can becatastrophic.With increasing government regulation of pollution, as well aswillingness to levy punitive fines for transgressions, and theever-present financial imperative to carry out these activities in themost efficient and cost-effective manner it is the responsibility of theprofessionals in question to ensure that they have the most up-to-dateinformation available at their disposal. This book provides not onlythat, but the only available methodology for identifying which wastetypes are produced from which industrial processes, and how they can betreated. This unique feature makes this book one that everyenvironmental, industrial and plant manager, engineer and consultant willwant to have on their bookshelf.Essential aspect of, and requirement for, all manufacturing industryThe only up-to-date book on this subject area availableTakes a practical applications standpoint, not a theoretical approach

Abstract

The collection, transportation and subsequent processing of waste materials is a vast field of study which incorporates technical, social, legal, economic, environmental and regulatory issues. Common waste management practices include landfilling, biological treatment, incineration, and recycling - all boasting advantages and disadvantages. Waste management has changed significantly over the past ten years, with an increased focus on integrated waste management and life-cycle assessment (LCA), with the aim of reducing the reliance on landfill with its obvious environmental concerns in favour of greener solutions. With contributions from more than seventy internationally known experts presented in two volumes and backed by the International Waste Working Group and the International Solid Waste Association, detailed chapters cover: Waste Generation and Characterization ; Life Cycle Assessment of Waste Management Systems ; Waste Minimization ; Material Recycling ; Waste Collection ; Mechanical Treatment and Separation ; Thermal Treatment ; Biological Treatment ; Landfilling ; Special and Hazardous Waste. Solid Waste Technology & Management is a balanced and detailed account of all aspects of municipal solid waste management, treatment and disposal, covering both engineering and management aspects with an overarching emphasis on the life-cycle approach.

Abstract

Thinking in Systems, is a concise and crucial book offering insight for problem solving on scales ranging from the personal to the global. Edited by the Sustainability Institute's Diana Wright, this essential primer brings systems thinking out of the realm of computers and equations and into the tangible world, showing readers how to develop the systems-thinking skills that thought leaders across the globe consider critical for 21st-century life. Some of the biggest problems facing the world―war, hunger, poverty, and environmental degradation―are essentially system failures. They cannot be solved by fixing one piece in isolation from the others, because even seemingly minor details have enormous power to undermine the best efforts of too-narrow thinking. While readers will learn the conceptual tools and methods of systems thinking, the heart of the book is grander than methodology. Donella Meadows was known as much for nurturing positive outcomes as she was for delving into the science behind global dilemmas. She reminds readers to pay attention to what is important, not just what is quantifiable, to stay humble, and to stay a learner. In a world growing ever more complicated, crowded, and interdependent, Thinking in Systems helps readers avoid confusion and helplessness, the first step toward finding proactive and effective solutions.
