On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the nation least prepared to handle one. Jonathan M. Katz, the only full-time American news correspondent in Haiti, was inside his house when it buckled along with hundreds of thousands of others. In this visceral first-hand account, Katz takes readers inside the terror of that day, the devastation visited on ordinary Haitians, and through the monumental--yet misbegotten--rescue effort that followed.More than half of American adults gave money for Haiti, part of a global response that reached $16.3 billion in pledges. But three years later the effort has foundered. Its most important promises--to rebuild safer cities, alleviate severe poverty, and strengthen Haiti to face future disasters--remain unfulfilled. How did so much generosity amount to so little ? What went wrong ?The Big Truck That Went By presents a hard hitting investigation into international aid, finding that the way wealthy countries give today makes poor countries seem irredeemably hopeless, while trapping millions in cycles of privation and catastrophe. Katz follows the money to uncover startling truths about how good intentions go wrong, and what can be done to make aid "smarter."Reporting at the side of Bill Clinton, Wyclef Jean, Sean Penn, Haiti's leaders and people, Katz also creates a complex, darkly funny, and unexpected portrait of one of the world's most fascinating countries. The Big Truck That Went By is not only a definitive account of Haiti's earthquake, but of the world we live in today.Bron : http://www.palgrave.com

The old packaging lines JB1 and JB3 of the ABInBev plant of Jupille present poor efficiency during
the starts occurring after stops of a few hours up to several days.
Indeed, the cleaning, starting and ramp-up processes are not optimal and face a lot of technical
problems but also important problems of organization and of process operation. There is a need
to improve them to gain time and then increase its productivity.
This work performs a detailed analysis of the problems encountered during these phases, based
on quantitative records and observations on the shop floor. The critical machines are identified
and the root causes of the problems are investigated.
A set of solutions and action plans are developed to solve the problems. One of the main solutions
is an organizational tool, the start document. It contains a chronogram for the CIP and the start
of the whole line, the process order for the preparation of the fillers and a ramp-up indicator.
Other smaller technical and organizational actions have also been set up on the lines.
Finally, results have been recorded to evaluate the global impact of the complete set of solutions
that has been developed during the whole duration of this work. The performance indicators
reveal an improvement of the start and ramp-up processes of the two lines.
