Book Description

"Leadership the Sven-Göran Eriksson Way examines the leadership style of the Egnland football manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. Our argument is that Eriksson's aproach is important because it brilliantly exemplifies a new leaderhip which defies conventional and historical stereotypes of how leaders think and behave. Eriksson is not a tub-thumping bellower of orders. He is no dictator. Instead he is a modern leadership archetype, a leader we can all learn from." From Leadership the Sven-Göran Eriksson Way
"...offers a visible and successful example of this new model of leader ..." Media Week
"...the authors examine the 'mature' form of leaderhip that Eriksson exemplifies: the level-headed long-termism that learns from failure, encourages responsibility and 'keeps it simple'..." The Business
"I very much enjoyed it and in particularly the way it gelled good business management principles with their application to football as illustrated by many of the ...decisions taken by our national coach who...has brought confidence, assurance, team spirit and a more worldwide awareness to our England team, giving everybody optimism." Gordon Taylor, Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers Association

Book Description

The overall goal of this book is to introduce algorithms for improving the economic posture of a utility company in a restructured power system by promoting cost-effective maintenance schedules. This book's topic is very timely as the electric utility industry is undergoing a major restructuring, and what used to be vertically integrated is now being unbundled. The restructuring has given rise to a number of separate business entities with their own objectives. In this breakup, the issue of maintenance scheduling has been missed completely since none of these entities currently have explicit accountability for this subject.
The authors offer a logical alternative to traditional electric utility maintenance practices and a basis for making maintenance decisions. Maintenance scheduling problems are formulated as decomposed problems. This signifies the nature of restructured power systems with self-interested entities and optimizes potential revenues while meeting constraints such as fuel schedules, emission constraints, hourly load demands, and network limits. Coordination of short- and long-term maintenance scheduling is also presented. The book shows by numerous derivations and examples that careful planning and good coordination among self-interested entities in restructured power systems are essential to achieving an optimal trade-off between the cost of maintenance and service reliability.
Maintenance Scheduling in Restructured Power Systems includes a variety of models, solutions and ideas that will be invaluable to engineers, consultants, manufacturers, students, and others working and studying in the utility field.

Maintenance Scheduling in restructured power systems.......2000-09-21

This book is a must for all power systems engineers (industry and academia). the authors have embarked on a problem which is of great importance in today's competetive dergulated power industry. with ever growing need for increasing profits and reducing the cost of generation and transmission, the maintenance scheduling could make or break a power provider. The authors have ever so correctly addressed this problem both from theoretical and practical point of view. Their recommendations and suggestions regarding the present, past and future practices are right on target. As an academician I think both students and practicing engineers should use this book for it's theoretical, practical and up to date information on maintenance scheduling.

Book Description

This book comprehensively encapsulates for the first time the fundamentals of modeling Logistic Operating Curves for production and storage processes including how they can be derived and calculated based on standard operating data. In doing so, the authors clearly demonstrate the mutual dependencies between the often contradictory logistic objectives, i.e. on the one hand low throughput times and high delivery reliability and on the other hand low WIP levels and high rates of utilization. Moreover, they also explain how these objectives can be improved using the Logistic Operating Curve Theory and why this method thus provides an interesting alternative to simulations.

Logistic Operating Curves open up the frequently hidden potential of the throughput time and WIP without requiring excessive restructuring or capital expenditures. Through numerous industry based examples this well structured book first provides a thorough introduction to the essentials of the Logistic Operating Curve Theory including the Nine Basic Laws of Production Logistics. Based on this knowledge a variety of useful tools and practical applications are presented and discussed. Finally using the Excel-based program provided on the accompanying CD-ROM, the reader can then calculate various Production, Storage and Scheduling Operating Curves using their own data. The Fundamentals of Production Logistics is thus a theoretical substantiated but practice oriented guideline for improving a production company’s logistic quality.
