On New Footnotes to Shingo
No full textThe Toyota Production System (TPS) has continually inspired scholars of production management to a search for its essence. Two new interpretations have recently been advanced. Firstly, Johnston has argued that conventional production management is based on an approach to management called management-as-planning. The central assumption is that intentional activity is based on a representation of the world. Thus, management is essentially about planning, i.e. manipulation of that representation. Instead, the TPS is essentially based on an approach called management-as-organizing. Here it is assumed that human activity is inherently situated, i.e. a response to the situation in question. Secondly, Spear and Bowen have claimed that the key to understand the TPS is the idea of the scientific method. When a production standard is defined, it also establishes a hypothesis that can be tested. Thus, they seem to emphasize the approach of managementas- learning as the foundational idea behind the TPS. It is shown that while providing fresh and deeper understanding to management in the TPS, these interpretations are partial and can be positioned inside the view on production management presented by Shingo. In fact, based on Shingo and other extant analysis, it can be argued that there are four approaches to management that are applied in tight coupling and synergistically in the TPS: management-as-organizing, management-as-planning, management-as-adhering and management-as-learning. It is concluded that the superiority of the TPS in comparison to its rivals is founded not only on a better theory of production, but also on a better theory of management
Método para eventos Gembra kaizen
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.A Manufatura Enxuta está baseada nas práticas do Sistema Toyota de Produção. O principal objetivo deste é reduzir e eliminar perdas a fim de deixar a organização mais ágil e flexível, conseqüentemente mais competitiva. É importante deixar claro que para a implantação das práticas de chão de fábrica da Manufatura Enxuta é necessário um sistema de gestão da introdução destas práticas, sendo que este sistema de gestão deve ser planejado com base em um método que facilite a introdução das práticas e a sustentação dos resultados. Em geral as empresas estão utilizando o método Gemba Kaizen (GK) para tal. Este método deve se munir das principais práticas da ME focado na eliminação de desperdícios através do envolvimento das pessoas. A premissa do método Gemba Kaizen é de que irá se realizar um Evento no Gemba (chão de fábrica) para se obter um Kaizen (mudança para melhor). O modo como este Evento se dará é o que está sendo abordando nesta dissertação de mestrado, chamado de método para o Evento Gemba Kaizen. O cerne do método para o Evento Gemba Kaizen é o envolvimento das pessoas na busca de melhorias voltadas aos pilares de entrega, qualidade e custo. O método propõe eventos que tragam resultados de uma forma rápida a baixo custo e que envolvam a todos, incluindo a alta administração. O método proposto vem sendo testado em uma grande empresa e está demonstrando excelentes resultados, onde já foram realizados enumeras aplicações, e criou vida própria, pois tem sido procurado por todos os níveis para realização de melhorias. The Lean Manufacturing is based on the Toyota Production System. The main objective of this is to reduce and to eliminate wastes in order to leave the organization most agile and flexible, consequently more competitive. It is important to say that for the implantation of Lean Manufacturing#s practical ones in the soil-of-plant, a system of management to introduce these practical is necessary, being that this system of management must be planned being based on a method that the introduction of the practical ones facilitates and the sustentation of the results. In general the companies are using the method Gemba Kaizen (GK) for this. This method must be used main the practical ones of LM, centered in the elimination of wastefulnesses through the envolvement of the people. The premise of the Gemba Kaizen#s method is of that an Event in the Gemba (plant soil) will be become fullfilled to get a Kaizen (change for better). The way as this Event will be given is what it is being approaching in this master#s dissertation, called method for the Gemba Kaizen#s Event. The heart of the method for the Gemba Kaizen#s Event is the envolvement of the people in the search of improvements, directed to them pillars of delivery, quality and cost. The method suggests events that bring resulted of a fast form, low cost and that they involve to all, including the high administration. This method comes being tested in a great company and it is demonstrating excellent results, where already some applications had been carried through, creating proper life, therefore has been looked for all the levels for accomplishment of improvements

Development of a Learners’ Dictionary of Polysemous Japanese Words and Some Proposals for Learners’ Lexicography
No full textThe dictionary series Nihongo tagigo gakushū jiten (“A Learner’s Dictionary of Multi-sense Japanese Words”) proposes a new approach to learners’ dictionaries, based on cognitive linguistics theory and on a corpus-based approach. Each entry is presented as a semantic network which follows the patterns of semantic extensions from a word's core meaning to derived meanings. A corpus, Sketch Engine, was consulted in order to select natural and frequently used examples, which were then edited to make them understandable to learners. Illustrations are also provided in an attempt to visualise the common meaning (schema) shared by the various meanings of the word

No full textThis is a lovely book I happened to find when I was trying to spend down the little money left on my Eurocheck debit card in the late days of my stay in Mannheim. The book is unusual in opening not from right to left but from down to up; that is, one needs to hold it sideways and lift the cover. The cover picture shows the half-painted jackdaw as he returns after opening his craw and being recognized by the doves whose food he was eating. Why does his fellow jackdaw have various colored feathers protruding from his black body and even one such feather in his beak? The pearl that the rooster finds in CJ is part of a ring. The little goat dancing for the wolf uses a hula-hoop! The expanding frog in OF is about to reach the ceiling of a modernistic garden-house! He is elevated off the floor like a helium-filled balloon. The one illustration for FS includes both the plate for the stork and the vase for the fox. In fact, the wall behind the stork features several plates and the floor behind the fox shows three large vases with steam bubbles emerging from them. The resting hare in TH has a hammock slung across the trail. The dropped meat bubbles through the text, dividing its lines in DS. The grapes break down through the ceiling of the fox's room in FG as clouds blow through the windows. The city mouse is fishing in the soup at the city meal in TMCM! A highway--or a racetrack?--winds among cheese wedges and salt and pepper shakers in this fable's tailpiece. The rack of the stag in the pool reaches out like a tree and even includes a birdhouse! What lovely imaginative work! The book is, as regularly with Neugebauer, beautifully produced.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: GermanNacherzählt von Renate Raeck
伝統的建造物群保存地区におけるイベント型観光の可能性 －橿原市今井町の事例－
No full textMany important preservation districts of groups of historic buildings have developed as tourist destinations in Japan. But Imai-cho in the City of Kashihara - one of the most famous historical districts in Japan - is situated as residential zone in Kasihara city planning and previous studies said that residents in Imai-cho did not want to develop their district as a normal tourist destination. Therefore, this article aims to examine the possibility of developing an event tourism in the Imai-cho. Events opened on each Saturday and Sunday in November in 2009. Many events, such as concerts, lectures, bar and so forth opened from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. In these events, some tourists stayed at historical buildings. The author examines the assessments of these events by the questionnaire to tourists and residents in the Imai-cho. There are many tourist attractions such as public open spaces, museums and important cultural properties in the Imai-cho. But souvenir shops and eating and drinking places are not plenty for tourists and there is no main shopping street in the Imai-cho. Most of tourists lived within Kinki region. They usually went to other destinations after they stayed in the Imai-cho during only few hours. They hoped the Imai-cho will develop as historical tourist destination. But some tourists and residents hoped the Imai-cho not to develop as a normal tourist destination. They hoped to develop the event tourism in the Imai-cho in order to preserve life of residents.departmental bulletin pape
Um modelo para avaliação e implantação da mudança de um sistema de produção convencional para manufatura celular empregando simulação discreta
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.Este trabalho apresenta um modelo para avaliação e implantação da mudança de um sistema de produção convencional para manufatura celular empregando simulação discreta. Usa-se a tecnologia de grupo como forma de criar as famílias de produtos. Analisam-se alternativas de layout celular para servir de base para a execução do modelo. Utiliza-se a simulação computacional como ferramenta de análise capaz de mensurar quantitativamente as mudanças introduzidas no sistema. Apresenta-se um estudo de caso de uma empresa metal-mecânica situada no sul de Santa Catarina. A partir da análise dos resultados e das conclusões efetuadas é possível ter-se uma idéia clara das vantagens obtidas em se migrar para um sistema de produção com células de manufatura, tais como: maior produtividade, menor tamanho do lote, menor lead time, melhor taxa de utilização do espaço físico e operadores mais polivalentes
