Moneyball for Business: A new role for the CIO office
Douglas Heintzman 060000Q98X firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  social-business
0 Comments | 2,347 Visits
I've worked with CIO offices around the world for many years, IBM's included. In my experience most companies look at their CIO office as a services bureau and a cost center. The CIO office provides essential IT services and strives to do so in a as cost effective manner as possible.
CIO office personnel are, in many companies, equipped with performance measurement tools. This allows them to optimize business solutions and plan for capacity increases. For most of the last 20 years most of my discussion with CIO offices has been about capacity, price performance, load balancing etc...
Something big is happening and the role of the CIO will change in a very profound way. As social business takes hold and more and more employees are engaged in an increasingly social way: writing, sharing, commenting, micro blogging etc... they are definitionally creating very semantically rich linked data.... and a lot of it. Any time you have a big data set you also have an opportunity to use analytics to derive value from that data.
With a big, socially rich data set, and some measurement and analytic tools in hand, the CIO office takes on an important new role. I have seen the begins of this transformation in a number of companies and especially inside of IBM. In the last couple of years my meetings with IBM's CIO office have been all about adoption rates, preferences, lots of pie and bar charts measuring all kinds of stuff including the success or failure of some adoption strategy we came up with in the previous meeting. We are starting to measure near realtime sentiment across the company. We can compare social behavior sentiment and many other proxies for business culture and efficiency from business unit to business unit and form geography to geography. This insight allows us to formulate strategies, measure and mitigate risk, make better quality decisions and iterate on those decisions with amazing granularity.
Going forward, the CIO office won't be a services bureau cost center, so much as an essential consultant to human resources and every line of business. They will provide essential insight on workforce efficiency and optimization, employee retention, risk, and business culture transformation. This will be yet another side effect of the Social Business revolution.

Check in gal was not very friendly. Steam room broke- asked them to call me back if or when repaired and they never did. Room dirty, no coffee maker- had to request!! Poor sleep due to noisy heater- it moaned. I stay at a lot of hotels. This was not a pleasant stay.
Room service staff was nice and food was good- that is the only good thing about this place... oh and the workout room had decent cardio equipment.
There were young guys in the hot tub in their underwear drinking at 6 am- grosssss.

Dark clouds, gangly, looming over
Streets of asphalt, fields of clover
Quarter sized drops of rain
Splatter along the streets once again
People closing all of their doors
Families retire to household chores
Thunder will roll, lightning across the sky will crack
From outside journeys, we all turn back
The darkened clouds do the sky clear of
A bright new rainbow spreading above
Colors stretch both ways for miles
Evolving frowns into newborn smiles.

The Power Cord Conspiracy
Posted 23 February 2005 - 06:14 AM
So, here's the deal. MS lied.
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the Xbox power cords. MS just had the recall to cover their butts (they had to do something, but recaling every 1.0/1.1 console would be way too expensive).
The real problem is the Foxlink power supply. There have been numerous reports of "loose power connectors" in xboxes, and the cause of this is that the solder joints on the PSU have actually broken where the connector mounts to the board, which can result in the xbox not powering on, or possibly even sparks, smoke, and fire.
this is a picture taken on one of MY OWN Foxlink 1.0/1.1 power supplies, and sure enough, the solder joints are broken. I checked another psu, they were broken too. So, although MS reports "about 1 in 10,000 failures", the problem is actually much more common, but usually has no results. The Foxlink PSU is a timebomb.
So, instead of taking the costly duty of recalling all older xboxes, what do they do? They give you a power cord with this huge GFI thing. This in no way will solve the problem, it is merely a bandaid. So, when your PSU sparks and shorts out, it just trips a switch instead of catching fire, but your xbox still doesn't work.
With the newer xboxes, you get a replacement power cord that doesnt look any different. Why? Because theres nothing wrong.
All of you with a 1.0 or 1.1, I would HIGHLY suggest checking to see if you have a foxlink PSU, and if you do, to resolder these 2 joints, a huge blob on em seems to fix the problem.
This was MS's uber-lame attempt at a coverup.
Posted 23 February 2005 - 06:34 AM
not trying to dump on the entire thread because some good research was put in to this.
the only thing i have to say is "the bigger the blob the better the job?"
i think not.
a bigger blob of sloder is actualy weaker than the corect amount.
i am a professional and i solder on USN aircraft circuitry for a living.
this is what i do every day, and i am a master at it.
i would sugest another fix, like some sort of non conducting bracket, or super glue or something.

Posted 23 February 2005 - 06:49 AM
Other people get normal cords such as
If the "power cord recall" is just to stop the 1.0 and 1.1 PSUs from starting a fire (which I believe is the case.) why are newer machines getting replacemennt power cords?
Or have MS just used this one recall to fix problems with multiple Xbox versions?
Posted 23 February 2005 - 06:56 AM
Posted 23 February 2005 - 06:57 AM
It is only the 1.0/1.1 powersuppplies that have this design flaw, so that is why they get the rigged "xbox anti-fire" cord.
As for the others, they dont really need a new cord, and the replacements arent really any different. Supposedly, they just have a tighter fit in the plug, which could possibly prevent and arcing from the prongs of the PSU to the plug (and will also increace the stress on the solder joints on the PSU )

Posted 23 February 2005 - 07:23 AM
Is there a no-solder fix for this on these psu's?
I'm all softmodded because I'm not into soldering. Not afraid to open her up and play a bit, I've replaced the hd, and such, but anyways?
conductive ink, perhaps?

its just to stop the whiners who say "how come my friend with a 1.0 gets a new power cord and me and my 1.5 cant get anything free"
they just send the 1.2-1.6ers a regualr power cord
Posted 23 February 2005 - 07:28 AM
Hmm, digging around in my eeprom list on my comp, I ordered 2 more (it will only let me order 3). Yay!
So, it seems that all xboxes with a foxlink PSU get a new cord, but only the 1.0/1.1 foxlinks get the clunker, and all other 1.0/1.1 psu brands get a normal cord.

the best fix is to remove all the solder then wrap buss wire

Dan Phillips will direct a cast that includes Deena Payne (best known for her TV role as Viv Windsor in "Emmerdale"), CJ De Mois (best known for TV's "Eggheads"), Cole Michaels and Emma Blackman. The producer is Jamie Chapman Dixon, with Ben Newsome as casting director. Sets are by Joe Oliver, with costumes by Andrew Cox and lighting by Matthew Swithinbank.
On Tidy Endings revolves around a gay man and a straight woman who meet to tie up loose ends following the death of the man they both loved from an AIDS related illness. According to press materials, "Unusually, it is a play where we never meet any AIDS sufferers; instead, it looks at the consequences and the people this virus leaves behind."
Safe Sex is the title play from Fierstein's Safe Sex Trilogy, which explores a relationship under strain in the early part of the AIDS crisis and of desire unfulfilled out of fear. It was the playwright's own response to living in the time of AIDS, dealing with his own confusion, anger and frustration, but it also contains humor. In Fierstein's own words, "Look, if I'm gonna bum ya out, I'm gonna make sure ya have a couple a laughs too! Life is funny - and the truer and more painful it is, the funnier it is."
In a press statement, director Phillips commented, "What makes this different from all the other 'AIDS Plays' is that it is not in fact about AIDS. Both plays instead look at who it leaves behind and is, at its heart, a play about dealing with loss whether you are gay or straight. Fierstein has become an institution in the world of the Broadway Musical but I am honored to be able to explore his more intimate and semi-autobiographical work."

UGH wtf! This product totally bites. I recently started trying WnW products, and have become addicted to buying their lipsticks, glosses, eyeshadows, etc. They are pretty awesome for the price. However, this sucks. I picked out 361A, a pretty shimmery baby pink color. It applies like paste and dries to a crinkly, uneven, clumpy MESS. It tightens my lips and it feels so weird, and when I move my lips it crinkles and clumps even more! Not even the lip balm included can help this mess of a product. Ugh!!

Awful product. This was given to me as a gift and I'm completely repulsed by it. It's an awful orange, sparkley color which looks more like nail polish than a lip color. It dries my lips out and it applies badly. The gloss is fine, but everything else is a joke.

I usually like wet n' wild products but this one just sucks. It left my lips dry and tight.It also got all over my teeth. I got it in two shades 362 A & 365 A. Frankly both these shades are ugly and unwearable. 365 A is a bright red and it makes my teeth look yellow. 362 A is an ugly pink.Both these shades seem to age me, which is something no one wants. What I dislike the most is that it begins as a lipgloss and ends up looking like a lipstick. The formula also leaves your lips REALLY DRY and tight. I am not going to buy this again.

For the price, this was absolutely worth a try. The color selection was decent, the packaging is very good, but the quality is poor. Not only did the color not dry after 2 minutes of holding my mouth open, the gloss was gloopy and smudge the lipcolor off. I didn't even moisturize my lips with anything first.
I dunno if I'll use it again.

This product is cheap, but isn't worth ANY price. This is my first (and LAST) foray into the two-step, long-wearing lipcolor world. It dried to a tight film, then balled up on my lips, dried them out horribly, then flaked off and left a RING around my mouth which was almost impossible to get off! Never again.

I have to say, even for $2.99 I was disappointed. I bought 361A, which is kind of a pinkish neutral with some shimmer. Looks beautiful in the tube, and even better on... but it starts to flake off in bits on my drinking glass within the first hours of application, and my lips are peeling and dry by the end of the day. Save yourself $3, this one is one of those WnW products that you should pass on when you get the "I want a fun d/s product uplift" urge.

I bought LASTING MOCHA, i LOVE it. it is a neutral lipgloss on my natural medium pink lips, it doesn't come off for anything. Also it isn't drying at all. I wear this with the eye trio BELGIAN CHOCOLATES, it looks GREAT. I will DEFINETLY be buying more.

WOW what a bargain for this product! At 2.99 a pop you can't go wrong!! I bought this today just to try it out. I always usually buy the high end stuff but thought why not. I was very surprised at how moisturizing this is. I bought the #365 - a silvery pink. Very very nice! It shows up very nice but does not overpower at all. I took off 1 lippie on the packaging though because I really like the gloss part to have a brush instead of a sponge applicator. I am going to try others!!:)

This is a fairly good lipcolor! I hardly ever wear lipstick anymore...I do gloss only, sometimes with a little liner thrown in the mix, but very rarely actual lipstick. When Cover Girl and Max Factor came out with their 2-step, long-lasting lipcolors, I tried them both and HATED them. They peeled off and balled up on my lips, and dried my lips out something awful. After a couple hours, you were left with a ring around the outside of your lips. I was really hesitant to try Wet 'n' Wild's version, but it was only a couple bucks, so I thought what the heck. I am getting married, and I need something that will look pretty but won't rub off during the kiss! I picked this up in #364, a pretty, shimmery bronze, as it looked similar to what I usually wear.
First of all, I made sure my lips were exfoliated and super clean. I usually apply a bit of moisturizer to my lips when I moisturize my face, but I made sure not to do this before applying the MegaLast. I applied a light layer of the color (with no liner...it wears the product off because it contains oils) and did not rub lips together after the product was applied. I let this dry for a minute and then applied the glossy top coat. The result was a pretty, convincing, shimmery bronze with a great gloss to it. This stays on and on until I eat something. Even then I only have to reapply the gloss, as the color stays pretty true all through the work day (9 hours...not too shabby!).
This is really one of the best products of its kind that I have used. I might have to give lipstick another shot, because this feels just as good as gloss on, and it's under $3!!!

This looks really really bright and shiny for about an hour. Then, it clumps up on your lips in dry clumps and looks and feels awful. Will prob finish the tube but wont repurchase.

text: I'm trying to measure the thermal white noise generated by chemical batteries. So far I've measured the current noise, the voltage noise (V noise) and the bandwidth (delta v). From the equation below, I'm trying to solve the equation for the frequency. The problem is that there's an exponential expression in it. But it gets worse, the frequency f is in it. http://s24.postimg.org/jbunj5z1h/Vnoise.jpg All I could come up with is to put hf/kt on one side of the equation and I'm stuck with ln (4hfr delta v / V^2). Do you have a solution?

Wow, I was proved wrong, at first I thought this was going to be a low end cheaply made guitar, but I was wrong, It plays and feels better than any other guitar I have had my hands on, It's even better than Fenders and Jacksons if you ask me, It is a great deal, if you can find one, you better get it when you can!

Picture: Reese Witherspoon, Matthew McConaughey 'Mud' premiere during the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival Cannes, France - 26.05.12
Reese Witherspoon has revealed that the toughest part of being pregnant with her third child is staying away from pizza. "It's not easy," she told People magazine, before adding "I'm always feeling like I'd like to eat everything in sight." This might be the third time round for Reese when it comes to being pregnant but this particular baby will be her first with husband Jim Toth.
People Magazine caught up with Reese as she accepted the Gene Siskel Film Center's Renaissance Award, where she was dressed up in a blue shift dress. Despite the slew of compliments that she was receiving about her appearance, the 36 year old actress replied "Thanks, but frankly I'm feeling very round tonight." Neither Reese nor Jim will be drawn on the sex of the baby, which is due in the fall. They're keeping quiet on the baby's gender and aren't going to let any potential names slip, either. Reese already has two children with her former husband, Ryan Phillippe. Their daughter, Eva, was born in 1999 and their son Deacon was born 2003. Ryan and Reese's divorce was finalized in 2007; she began dating Toth in 2010.
Witherspoon has been busy finishing work on her latest movie, Devil's Knot. Set in 1993, and co-starring Colin Firth, the movie was filmed in Atlanta. Speaking about the movie, Witherspoon said "It happens in Arkansas, and it's what I'd say is a very American story. And, after I finish that, I'm going to take a little time off - and go have a baby."

|[* black] We here at iFixit are very fond of cameras. It is our pleasure to provide our fans with what we believe will be an amazing teardown. Without any further ado, we present the D5100 teardown.
|[* black] The first thing we noticed about the D5100 was that the body was not the same heft and size as the D90. It just felt... punier.
|[* black] And then we took some photos with it...
|[* black] To our non-professional-photographer eyes, the photos came out amazing. The colors were crisp, and we could even get away with usable (albeit super-grainy) ISO 6400 shots, which is certainly not the case with the D90's ISO 3200.

USAF endorses Raytheon's Center Display Unit for F-16 cockpits
- Full-rate production of first units under way
Raytheon Technical Services Company LLC (RTSC), a subsidiary of Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN), has received U.S. Air Force endorsement of its Center Display Unit (CDU) as the F-16's primary flight reference (PFR). Following the endorsement late last year, the Air Force awarded Raytheon a contract for full-rate production of the first 100 CDUs.
A PFR is a requirement in all aircraft and must include airspeed, altitude and attitude data, as well as flight path information for the pilot. Besides flight data, Raytheon's CDU gives the pilot the ability to control and display information from both on-board and off-board sources, including ground force information.
Global Military Fixed Wing Market Assessment
"This endorsement means F-16 pilots can now use our CDU as their sole primary flight reference," said Rudy Lewis, vice president of Customized Engineering and Depot Support for RTSC. "The CDU's efficient installation -- which minimizes aircraft integration, airframe and wiring modifications -- demonstrates how we are listening to, and working with, our customers to provide advanced and cost-effective situational awareness products."

I have a theory about why Americans downplay their culture of hugging when living as expats in China.
In the US, it is customary for female friends who are close or who haven't seen each other for a long time to hug as greeting or farewell; the same is true between a male and a female friend. (Male friends shake hands.) Friends who are not close, will usually wave or say hi; in more formal situations they may just shake hands.
In the 2 years I've been in China, I've noticed that American expats whether in Beijing, Shanghai, or elsewhere have completely abandoned this cultural norm.
Americans have adopted the practice of kiss-kiss, or kissing the air while touching first the right cheek then the left cheek. Two girls, and a girl and a guy will do it. (Two males continue to shake hands.) They don't even need to be close friends, mere friends or familiar acquaintances are given over to the kiss-kiss greeting.
This kiss-kiss greeting is common in Latin American culture and European culture. Notably, French and Italians do 2 kisses, while Argentines and Dutch do 3.
I, as an American expat in Shanghai, have become accustomed to doing the kiss-kiss greeting and farewell to such an extent that when Americans who are in town visiting hug me I am shocked and feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Anyway, on to my theory… My theory is that, largely due to the current administration, because Americans are so hated abroad, we try to diminish our American-ness by adopting other cultural styles. We try to make ourselves seem less American by acting like Europeans or Latin Americans. We attempt to show that we are citizens of the world and embrace other cultures by adopting them as our own, rather than beating them down, much as has been done in Afghanistan or Iraq. Obviously, this more of a necessity and common practice in expat life since daily we seek to be accepted by associates and friends from around the world who are frequently not fond of America. As expats, we are attempting to minimize our American-ness in the presence of a global community and seek acceptance among our kiss-kiss-accustomed peers.
I'm curious to know, if this is just a phenomenon of expats in China, or if this happens among American expats elsewhere in the world. Comments on the expat experience elsewhere and agreements (or not) with my theory are welcome.
As far as whether I like the practice, in some ways I do, as it feels refreshing and somewhat less awkward than the standard American hug. However, sometimes I do miss the benefits and closeness of a hug.

|This dissertation is divided into three main sections. The main result of Section 1 is that, for
$a,b>1$, irrational, the quantity $\log (a/b)$ is ``not too far'' from the series of fractional parts
$$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{a \{a^{-1} (n+1)\}-b\{b^{-1}(n+1)\}}{n(n+1)} \text{,}$$
i.e, the absolute value of the difference of these two quantities is less than one plus a ``small'' constant $k(a,b)$.
In order to prove this result, we first study
properties of ratios of elements of Beatty sequences and their
connection with Sturmian sequences. If we write $a_n=\lfloor n a
\rfloor$ for $a$ a real number and $n \in \N$, then we are
concerned with ratios of the form
$$r_{a}(n,k):=\frac{ a_{n+k}}{a_n} $$
\noindent as well as their reciprocals. These types of quotients have various
properties. For example, the $i^{th}$ element of a Sturmian sequence with slope $s:=s(a,b)$
can be defined by a difference of ratios $R(i):=r_{a}(i,1)-r_{b}(i,1)$
for some irrational numbers $a$, $b$, i.e, $R(i)$ is positive or
negative depending on whether or not $i$ is an integer in the Sturmian
sequence with slope $s$. We also study partial sums of the form
\sum_{n\leq x} \frac{ a_{n+k}}{a_n}
and find asymptotics for them. Next, we consider the series
\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{ a_{n+k}}{a_n}-\frac{ b_{n+k}}{b_n}\right)
\noindent and show that it satisfies an identity involving $\log a$ and $\log b$ for
the case when $a$ and $b$ are irrationals. This identity bears a
superficial resemblance to a discrete analogue of Frullani's integral.
The main result of the section is deduced as a corollary from this identity.
The identity is proved by using Sturmian sequences to write the sum
\eqref{thabs1} over the positive integers, finding asymptotics for
partial sums of elements of the Beatty sequences, and using summation by
parts techniques together with some combinatorial arguments.
In the second portion of this thesis we present a Minimum Excluded
with Skipping (MES) algorithm that generalizes minimum excluded type
algorithms. This algorithm has one sequence as input and another
sequence as output. We study this algorithm in connection with Beatty,
nonhomogeneous Sturmian, and other (not necessarily quasilinear) types
of sequences. A complete characterization of this algorithm is
presented in the case of an Beatty sequence. The proofs
of these theorems use Diophantine approximation, continued fractions
and various number theoretic and combinatorial arguments.
The third portion of this thesis deals with a topic related to a
theorem that begun as a conjecture of Steinhaus. This well known Three Gap Theorem states that
there are at most three gap sizes in the sequence of fractional parts

The ISO GPS Ultimate Pocket Guide explains the most common rules, symbols, and concepts in the ISO Geometrical Product Specifications System. Written by standards expert Alex Krulikowski, this valuable on-the-job reference clarifies how to interpret standard-compliant technical drawings that use ISO 1101:2012 and its companion published standards. More than 15 standards were directly reviewed and more than 30 standards indirectly used in creating the book. One entire section is devoted to a quick comparison of ASME and ISO standards. Author's comments throughout the text provide insights about concepts and how to apply or interpret tolerancing in a cost-effective manner. Drawing interpretation is simplified because the tolerancing information is in one place, logically arranged, with illustrations of each concept.
A keen focus on operations, cost management, leadership, and customer service is presented in this book for fleets to thrive in today's competitive business environment. Basic concepts and customer service fundamentals, along with integrated best practices, and business tools are fully described. This model can be applied by service groups of any size to achieve quality performance benefits for both the customer and the fleet-provider. Fleet Services: Redefining Success presents: • A back-to-basics approach that begins by redefining a fleet's customers to fully identify and provide customer-driven services. • A hierarchy for success that includes development of management goals and strategies to exceed customer expectations. • Best practices and associated business tool requirements that assure exceptional service and win-win results. • An innovative business model that maximizes opportunities and positive outcomes for fleet service providers.
This report looks at Ford's global activities, introducing a more concise breakdown and review of the best-selling models, most-used model platforms and a wider-ranging review of global production activities, each with related analysis. Also included are details about key elements of the Ford Supplier Portal, the online repository of information and data which the OEM uses to disseminate information to its current suppliers and how it establishes contact with new part and service providers. The report further looks at the Aligned Business Framework, the group of preferred suppliers who currently deliver approximately 65% of all parts used across global vehicle assembly at Ford and are likely to gain further volumes under the One Ford programme. Yet, there are still opportunities to work with Ford around the world, and these are also discussed. This report provides information on how suppliers are now being invited to collaborate in early vehicle development meetings.
This report examines Volvo's product and platform strategy, including the upcoming SPA and CMA platforms. It goes inside the Volvo's purchasing strategy, and interviews the company's Lars Wrebo, Senior Vice President of Purchasing and Manufacturing. Owned now by Geely of China, Volvo's brand recognition derives in large part from its reputation for leading-edge safety technology and environmental compliance. The advent of the original XC90 SUV and the subsequent smaller XC60 changed the company's overall image somewhat, but the focus on safety remained paramount. In China, Geely wants to emphasize the premium nature of its vehicles. Although production is growing in Europe and now in China, Volvo remains a relatively small player at under 500,000 units a year.
This edition breaks down specific areas of activity into easily readable and searchable content. The section covering the top 10 best-selling models across the VW Group are separated out into individual models, including the latest sales data comparisons with segment competitors. Platform usage is broken down by type, including introduction dates, material structure, model sharing and forecast length of use – this further includes in-depth coverage of the new MQB modular system. VW's global production footprint is analyzed by country. In other key areas of the report, there is an in-depth review of the VW Group Purchasing strategy, with key information about Regional Sourcing Offices. This is followed by details covering supplier selection, including localization strategies and global sourcing. Pricing and technology strategies are also reviewed, while there is a full report on produced part quality management strategies based on internal VW documentation.
Honda's April 2015 R&D Technical Review features cutting-edge developments and new ways of solving engineering problems from Honda's worldwide R&D teams. This edition brings 17 technical papers covering: • New motorcycle design and styling • Styling design of new crossover VEZEL • Development of inverter generator w/ fuel injector engine • Development of UNI-CUB • Synthesis of facet-controlled PtNi nanoparticles and evaluation of performance in PEM fuel cell • Prediction method for vibration transmission of hydraulic engine mount • Study of human dynamic analysis relating to handling and stability fo driving
North America was the world's second largest automotive market by sales in 2014 with just over 19.4 million units sold, versus 23 million in China and 18.2 million units in Europe. The North American market and, in particular, the US one which accounts for about 80% of the regional sales, approaches the 19-million unit mark under different underlying fundamentals. Significant chunks of excess capacity have been cut at several automotive plants in North America, leading to the end of unhealthy over-discounting in order to secure line saturation and reduce imbalances in inventories.
ASEAN light vehicle output increased 6% year on year in January 2015, with 352,928 units produced. Full-year 2015 production is expected to reach 4.25 million units, up 10%. Production in Thailand rose 8.7% y/y in January 2015. Indonesian production contracted slightly in January 2015, down 1%. Nonetheless, production recovered from the weak output in December 2014, thanks to the government announcing lower subsidized fuel prices in mid-January. The growth of automotive production in the ASEAN region has in tandem spurred the growth of an automotive supplier industry. With very few local automotive suppliers that could initially supply the parts and the quality required by international carmakers, international suppliers had to follow suit and supply components locally. This report provides a detailed look at the ASEAN Automotive & Supplier Market, focusing on Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

The South Korean Automotive Supplier Report features a comprehensive overview of the automotive industry in South Korea, including a macro-economic overview, government policy and planned investment by OEMs and suppliers. The report examines in-depth the manufacturing advantages of South Korea, as well as the giving an overview of which OEMs have the greatest presence there. It features an overview of production in 2014, as well as forecast numbers and detailed company profiles for 54 South Korean suppliers. Today, South Korea is a major manufacturer and exporter of automobiles and ranks 5th in the world, behind China, USA, Japan and Germany. In 2013, South Korea produced 4.5 million vehicles, a decline of 0.9% from the previous year, the first drop in production since 2007. In 2014, vehicle production was just positive, with an increase of 0.1%.
Hyundai and Kia are still heavily reliant on a series of core suppliers operating within the Hyundai Motor Group (HMG). As the OEMs have extended their respective global manufacturing footprints, they have displayed an overwhelming preference for using these suppliers as they too have expanded their respective manufacturing networks. To maintain the market momentum seen over the past five years, the OEMs have noted that it will be critical to improve vehicle quality and increase fuel economy by developing technologies within these areas. Suppliers within HMG have some expertise with technology development, but despite recent investment across the global R&D network, Hyundai and Kia do not have the capacity to deliver each and every ground-breaking function and feature. Supplying Hyundai Kia 2015 reviews all areas of activity across the two OEMs, including best-selling models, platform usage, related production strategies, quality, supply chain, and areas of technology development.
The Automotive Seating Systems Report from IHS SupplierBusiness takes an in-depth look at the global seating market including the key changes currently underway in the industry and what the future holds for this sector. The report considers in-house seat manufacture and supply chain developments along with advances in safety, comfort and convenience. Fitment rates for various seat features such as powered and memory functions, lumbar support and massage have been increasing and will continue to do so as vehicle interiors become "smarter". Much of the technology in today's seats is electric or electronically driven, and can be remotely controlled via links on the dashboard or controllers located throughout the vehicle. The market is opening up to New Tier 1 suppliers as well as Tier 2 and specialist niche technology players, all of whom will intensify the competition for supplying the world's leading seating companies.
This book covers one and a quarter century of the automobile, conceived as a cultural history of its technology, aimed at engineering students and all those who wish to have a concise introduction into the basics of automotive technology and its long-term development . Its approach is systemic and includes the behavior of drivers, producers, nonusers, victims, and other "stakeholders" as well as the discourse around mobility. Nowadays, students of innovation prefer the term co-evolution, emphasizing the parallel and mutually dependent development of technology and society. This acknowledges the importance of contingency and of the impact of the past upon the present, the very reason why The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook looks at car technology from a long-term perspective. Often we will conclude that the innovation was in the (re)arrangement of existing technologies. Since its beginnings, car manufacturers have brought a total of 1 billion automobiles to the market.
This latest edition of Japanese Automotive Supplier Report offers an informed perspective on the current status and the way ahead for Japan's automotive industry.

It also discusses the various challenges that the Japanese supplier industry is currently facing. The report offers a detailed analysis of outlook for the Japanese supplier industry, supported by extensive data, including forecasts by IHS. Japan is the world's third largest market in term of vehicle production after China and the United States. The country produced 9.4 million vehicles in 2013 compared with 22.1 million in China and 11.1 million in the United States.
Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Implementation and Lessons Learned is the fourth title in the IVHM series published by SAE International. This new book introduces a variety of case studies, lessons learned, and insights on what it really means to develop, implement, or manage an integrated system of systems. Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Implementation and Lessons Learned brings to the reader a wide set of hands-on stories, made possible by the contribution of twenty-three authors, who agreed to share their experience and wisdom on how new technologies are developed and put to work. This effort was again coordinated by Dr. Ian K. Jennions, Director of the IVHM Centre at Cranfield University (UK), and editor of the previous books in the series.
The SuRe Index report provides a comprehensive overview of the quality of relations between carmakers and their suppliers, as assessed through the SuRe (Supplier Relationship) index, updated for 2014. In this global report IHS SupplierBusiness analyses the global trends in OEM-supplier relations, with a focus on those aspects of the relationships which have a major impact on suppliers' operational and financial performance (e.g. Profit Opportunity for suppliers & OEM Organization rating). A variety of suppliers' organizational functions are surveyed in order to include the different perspectives on the business relations and practices of OEMs. Respondents are active in marketing and sales, engineering, program management, research and development, quality and manufacturing. The 29 questions are organized under five categories: Profit Potential, Organization, Trust, Pursuit of Excellence and Outlook.
The new Bosch Automotive Handbook , now in its 9th English edition, has been completely revised and enhanced to include the most recent developments in automotive technology. About 200 specialist authors contributed to this new version of every engineer's must-have reference. The book's format has been revised: it is now 20 percent longer and wider, as this allows for a larger font size. This makes the texts and graphics easier to read. The index has been strongly expanded to make looking up technical terms easier. The Bosch Automotive Handbook is a best-seller, with a broad global readership. Students of engineering programs consult it, as do researchers and engineers in the automotive industry. Mechanics who are studying to become master craftsmen also use it as a reference work. Experts trust the well-founded and extensive expertise that can be found in the classic. The Bosch Automotive Handbook is widely regarded around the world as a standard work for automotive technology.
Electronic parts are used throughout industry to run everyday products, such as cell phones, and also highly technical products, such as aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. Unlike cell phones, which are often replaced every year, the highly technical products may remain in service from 20 to more than 80 years. But what happens if the original electronic part, with a life cycle of 18 months, is no longer available? Some manufacturers have discovered that they have unwittingly purchased counterfeit ones. Counterfeit Electronic Parts and Their Impact on Supply Chains examines how these items are negatively affecting the aviation, spacecraft, and defense sectors and what can be done about it.
Honda's October 2014 R&D Technical Review features cutting-edge developments from Honda's worldwide R&D teams. This edition brings 32 original papers. They cover advancements in the following areas: • Development of HF120 turbofan engine • Development of High-access survey robot for TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station • Advanced ignition control technology for HCCI Combustion • Identification of brake-drag mechanism in coasting-down mode and proposal of brake-drag stabilization and reduction methods
LEDs are now acknowledged as the mainstream standard light source of what might reasonably be called 'the future already in progress'. Their small size, powerful light emission, extreme reliability, low energy requirement and long lifespan mean that LEDs continue to make quick inroads in automotive sectors governed by cost and performance demands alike. Indeed, since the last edition of this report was published in 2010, the sector has continued to witness a blistering rate of innovation, and LEDs have now broken every automotive application barrier. Nevertheless, there are other light source technologies that have sprung from LED research and development, and some are poised to supplement – or even, in certain applications, supplant them.
This master report summarizing and forecasting every sector of the EV industry remains unique. It adds new sectors as they become substantial, the latest being car-like micro-EVs homologated as quadricycles in Europe. Many profitable niches are emerging just as the largest major sectors are changing in importance; the industrial and commercial sector is now bigger and much more profitable than e-cars, and is set to remain so for at least eight more years. All components are changing with supercapacitors sometimes replacing or partly replacing batteries and also new types of battery, energy harvesting, power electronics and structure powering growth. Disruptive change is now the norm and the fruits of all this are truly spectacular; including such things as the Marian fast- surface boat that acts as a submarine when necessary, the fixed-wing plane that will stay aloft for five years on sunshine and the flying jet ski.
This book tells the improbable stories of Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering and the iFoundry incubator at the University of Illinois. That either one survived is story enough, but what they found out together changes the course of education transformation forever: • How trust is key to unleashing young, courageous engineers. • How engineers need to move from a narrow technical education to one that actively engages six minds. • How emotion and culture-not content, curriculum & pedagogy-are the crucial elements of change. • How all stakeholders can collaborate to disrupt the status quo. A Whole New Engineer is a book that seriously looks at the coming revolution in engineering.
With current LED performance nearing or surpassing that of most traditional light sources, LEDs are now addressing most lighting applications (indoors, outdoors, transportation vehicles and so on), with prices coming down rapidly over the past three to five years. Advances in materials will also broaden LED consumption through improved performance. The report looks at the competing light-source technologies for automotive applications, including Halogen, HID/ Xenon, Combined HID and LED, LED technology, Organic LED (OLED) and Laser technology. It also examines the design flexibility and power savings that LEDs give designers, as well as the differing optics technology and related strict regulations. The Advanced Automotive Lighting and Vision Systems Report - 2014 Edition addresses uses for lighting in vehicles, looking at both exterior and interior applications and the unique set of challenges presented by each.
The report analyses how Honda is moving forward in terms of models and technology, together with supply and manufacturing issues. The report focuses on the following topics: • Product and Platform Strategy • Production Strategy • Purchasing Strategy • Supplier Selection • Global Sourcing • Pricing Policy • Quality Management • Technology Development • Interviews with Key Executives • OEM-Supplier Relations • Survey Results • SWOT Analysis • Global Footprint • Forward Model Programme Supplying Honda reviews how the carmaker is looking to implement its new global vehicle strategy, which features regional tailoring of global vehicles based on local customer preference. This plan is opening up potential opportunities for new suppliers interested in working with Honda, and should a given technology be selected by the OEM, the related quality, pricing and potential for a global distribution could see that part, component or feature shared across global vehicle production.
EVERYTHING WORKS WONDERFULLY is a 250-page A4 softback book written to provide a structured source of guidance and reference information on Servitization and the management of physical assets for people at all levels in industry: • Senior executives considering the expansion of their businesses into the provision of Asset Management services for the products they design and manufacture; • Middle management wishing to know what needs to be done to look after the assets they are responsible for and who to approach for help; • 'Hands-on' engineers looking for contacts and advice on detailed tools and techniques. • Academics may also find the book useful as a source of contacts and ideas for research.

- " We were arranged to stay in another building. our room is underground which we didn't know before. There is no reception in that building,so it's not convenience. It's not like what we expect to this hostel...disappointed. "

- " It is a little confusing as soon as you arrive, because they have two different houses and if you are not lucky you are at the wrong house and nobody is going to open the door or people who are there tell you to go to the other house. But it is really bad if you are in your room and every hour you have to get up and tell the new comes to go to the other house. Please solve this issue. Regarding all the other thing it was a nice stay, the breakfast was also good and the kitchen was really big. "

- " Make sure that you stay at Do Step Inn when you visit Vienna. The guy who checked us in was great, and happily provided a map, personally marking off various destinations of interest with a pen. The room was great, and the facilities were all very clean. We saw people cleaning every floor, every single morning. It was really close to a metro stop too, so it wasn't tough to get across Vienna wherever we wanted to go, as the metro system is very good there. Can't wait to come back! "

- " The hostel is really, but really good! I don't know what to say anymore. Essentially, no remarks at all! Everything was just fine.:) "

- " This hostel is really nice. It was really clean and the shower is nice. Wi-Fi works great. There is a kitchen downstairs to make food and that's really nice. We didn't really talk to the other guests there, it's not a very social hostel. The staff is great, gives great advice and guidance on where to go and eat. There's a supermarket really close but it closes at 7:30pm. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others "

- " We enjoyed sleeping here. The kitchen was very clean and big. Once a weak they cleaned the fridge and trew old stuff away. The shower and toilet were very clean every time. You can have breakfast in the morning at the main building, for a small amount of money. At the main building is also place to sit (outside and inside) and you can buy some drinks. "

- " Locations is pretty good. Really close to the main transit station. Also close to a little shopping place. Rooms are clean but kind of small. Washrooms are good ad showers are huge! Kitchen is really convenient so you can cook your own food. The only thing i hated about this place was the fact that they let people check in late. We had roomates check in at 2am on two night. SO loud = no sleep and ruined our days because of how tired we were. "
