Process Music: songs, stories, and studies of graphic culture
Process Music refers to print media and the intentions behind design activity. It is interested in visual culture, providing deeper readings and close viewings of graphic design artifacts and activity, frequently examined through the lens of music. Employing a range of narrative voices, the works combine academic rigor with the accessibility of popular forms like music journalism. FitzGerald regards himself as a critical enthusiast: knowledgeable, appreciative and irreverent.Process Music: songs, stories, and studies of graphic culture is the second book collection of writings by Kenneth FitzGerald. The new book gathers over 40 pieces primarily from the past decade, with reprinted works first appearing in forums like Emigre, Eye, Print, Idea, Modes of Criticism, Design Observer, Speak Up, and Voice: AIGA Journal of Graphic Design.Others are texts of lectures and presentations, have appeared on my blog or elsewhere online, or are original to this collection. Many are unavailable or hard (and expensive) to find. The book will also feature a prelude composed by AIGA Design Medalist and Design Matters host Debbie Millman.The book is organized in four sections and a coda: “Blues in CMYK” contains short essays that focus on concepts and topics in graphic design, such as the practice, limits, and potential of design criticism; different aspects of design education; the importance of metaphor and cross-disciplinary inspiration; inclusivity and responsibility in design; the proper context of digital technology; authenticity; the influence of religious faith on design activity, and more. “Interlude with Designers” presents appreciations of famed and upstart individuals in the discipline, including Barney Bubbles, Paul Rand, William Addison Dwiggins, Jacqueline Casey, Paula Scher, Vaughan Oliver, Martin Venezky, illustrator Mark Andresen, and design activist Andrew Breitenberg. “Omnigraphy” has expanded reviews and studies on graphic design and music works, performers and practitioners. Figures covered include Josef-Müller Brockmann, Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko/Emigre, Elliott Earls, Stefan Sagmeister, Hipgnosis, Fuel, and the musicians Van Dyke Parks, and British band Cornershop. Artifacts examined include books, interactive projects, typefaces, independent and mass market magazines, posters, and record albums. “My Back Pages” offers short memoirs and stories that take a personal perspective on creativity, visual culture and communication.Lastly, “(extended play)” offers a short fiction.

Liquid Lean : Developing Lean Culture in the Process Industries
While Lean practices have been successfully implemented into the process industry with excellent results for over 20 years (including the author’s own award winning example at Exxon Chemical), that industry has been especially slow in adopting Lean.Part of the problem is that the process industry needs its own version of Lean.The larger part of the problem is resistance to transformational change, a barrier that can only be overcome with effective leadership and results-oriented planning that engages rather than excludes all stakeholders. Winner of a 2012 Shingo Prize!Written by Raymond Floyd, an unparalleled leader of Lean transformations, Liquid Lean: Developing Lean Culture in the Process Industries provides potential process industry change agents with the no-nonsense guide needed to eliminate waste and achieve sustainable optimal efficiency.Presenting lessons in lean as they apply within the liquid industries, the book focuses on developing the four measures of Lean as defined by the Shingo Award:Business ResultsConsistent Lean Enterprise CultureContinuous Process ImprovementCultural EnablersIllustrated with his own success stories, Floyd describes business results, Lean enterprise thinking, and policy deployment in process industry terms.He offers detailed theory, practice, and examples of continuous process improvement, and describes the leadership and defines the ethics needed to evolve and sustain Lean transformation.Floyd lays out the specific steps needed during the first six months of transformation and the benchmarks to be achieved during the first two years of implementation.All companies can benefit from Lean; this book makes sure that those who want it, know how.

What is the nature of a process?
A process is a series of actions or steps that are taken to achieve a particular goal or outcome. It involves a sequence of events that are carried out in a systematic and organized manner. Processes can be found in various aspects of life, such as in business operations, manufacturing, and even in natural phenomena. They can be linear or cyclical, and they often involve inputs, transformations, and outputs. Overall, the nature of a process is dynamic, as it involves continuous change and progression towards a desired result.

How does the process of cell culture technology proceed?
Cell culture technology involves the growth and maintenance of cells outside of their natural environment, typically in a laboratory setting. The process begins with the selection of the appropriate cell type and the preparation of a suitable growth medium. The cells are then isolated from their natural environment and placed in a sterile culture vessel, where they are provided with the necessary nutrients and conditions for growth. The culture is regularly monitored and maintained to ensure the cells remain healthy and continue to proliferate. This technology is widely used in research, drug development, and biotechnology for studying cell behavior, producing biological products, and testing potential therapies.

What is the difference between culture and tradition?
Culture refers to the beliefs, customs, arts, and social behaviors of a particular group of people, encompassing a broader range of practices and values. On the other hand, tradition specifically refers to the customs and practices that are passed down from generation to generation within a specific community or society. While culture is more dynamic and can evolve over time, traditions tend to be more static and rooted in history and heritage.

Production Scheduling for the Process Industries : Strategies, Systems, and Culture
This book is aimed at manufacturing and planning managers who struggle to bring a greater degree of stability and more effective use of assets to their operations, not realizing the degree to which production scheduling affects those objectives.It has been reported that 75% of the problems on the manufacturing floor are caused by activities outside the plant floor.Poor production scheduling strategies and systems are often the biggest contributors to the 75%.The book explains in detail that no scheduling strategy, and especially no transition to a different and better scheduling strategy, will succeed without strong commitment and guidance from senior leadership.Leadership must understand their active role in the transition, that people will feel uncomfortable and even threatened by change, and that they will need to be measured by different standards.Effective scheduling requires that following the schedule and production to plan is more important than trying to maximize each day’s throughput.The book explains the advantages of a structured, regularly repeating schedule: how it can increase throughput, right-size inventory based on cycles and variabilities and therefore make it more usable, and improve customer delivery.It will explain the trade-offs between throughput, inventory, and delivery performance, how those trade-offs are actually decided in production scheduling, and how an appropriate scheduling strategy can make the trade-offs and their ramifications visible.It discusses several popular structured scheduling concepts, their similarities, and differences, to allow the readers to decide which might fit best in their environments.In addition, the authors discuss what makes an appropriate scheduling software system, and why a package designed for structured scheduling offers capabilities well beyond the Excel workbooks used by many companies, and how it offers much more design capability and ease of use than the finite scheduling modules in SAP or Oracle.Finally, the authors offer a proven roadmap for implementation, critical success factors necessary to achieve the full potential, and give examples of operations that have done this well.In addition, a guide for leaders and managers post-implementation is provided to help them fully exploit the advantages of a structured, repeating scheduling strategy.
