Manufacturing Facilities Design and Material Handling

By: Matthew P. Stephens,Fred E. Meyers

Designed for junior- and senior-level courses in Plant and Facilities Planning and Manufacturing Systems and Procedures, this textbook is also suitable for graduate-level and two-year college courses. The book takes a practical, hands-on, project-oriented approach to exploring the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout. It also introduces state-of-the-art tools including computer simulation. Access to Layout-iQ workspace planning software is included for purchasers of the book. Theoretical concepts are clearly explained and then rapidly applied to a practical setting through a detailed case study at the end of the volume. The book systematically leads students through the collection, analysis, and development of information to produce a quality functional plant layout for a lean manufacturing environment. All aspects of facility design, from receiving to shipping, are covered. In the fifth edition of this successful book, previously published by Prentice Hall, numerous updates and corrections have been made. Also, rather than including brief case-in-point examples at the end of each chapter, a single, detailed case study is provided that better exposes students to the multiple considerations that need to be taken into account when improving efficiency in a real manufacturing facility. The textbook has enjoyed substantial international adoptions and has been translated into Spanish and Chinese. This replaces the 4th Edition by Prentice Hall (ISBN# 978-0135001059).

Sown in Earth

Essays of Memory and Belonging

By: Fred Arroyo

Sown in Earth is a collection of personal memories that speak to the larger experiences of hardworking migratory men. Often forgotten or silenced, these men are honored and remembered in Sown in Earth through the lens of Arroyo’s memories of his father. Arroyo recollects his father’s anger and alcohol abuse as a reflection of his place in society, in which his dreams and disappointments are patterned by work and poverty, loss and displacement, memory and belonging. In Sown in Earth, Arroyo often roots his thoughts and feelings in place, expressing a deep connection to the small homes he inhabited in his childhood, his warm and hazy memories of his grandmother’s kitchen in Puerto Rico, the rivers and creeks he fished, and the small cafés in Madrid that inspired writing and reflection in his adult years. Swirling in romantic moments and a refined love for literature, Arroyo creates a sense of belonging and appreciation for his life despite setbacks and complex anxieties along the way. By crafting a written journey through childhood traumas, poverty, and the impact of alcoholism on families, Fred Arroyo clearly outlines how his lived experiences led him to become a writer. Sown in Earth is a shocking yet warm collage of memories that serves as more than a memoir or an autobiography. Rather, Arroyo recounts his youth through lyrical prose to humanize and immortalize the hushed lives of men like his father, honoring their struggle and claiming their impact on the writers and artists they raised.

Blind Justice

By: Fred Horrell

Raymond Royal lost his desire to live when he returned home to find his wife and daughter murdered. He quickly learned the only viable suspect was himself, with no other persons of interest. Months later, he suffered severe burns to his legs from a mysterious courthouse fire. He endured constant pain, refused to eat, was uncooperative, and wanted to die. In the hospital, Ray encountered a brown-eyed nurse, learning she had lost a loved one to violence months before he did. They became very close. Sharing their faith in God. When a Justice Department agent informed Royal that the police would never investigate those responsible for the murders of his family, he offered an opportunity to track down those liable. Ray’s Special Forces experience provided an excellent disguise to destroy an expanding drug ring that had ordered the hit on his family. Can their growing relationship and their faith withstand the perils and challenges of Royal’s quest for Blind Justice? Will the brown-eyed nurse accept his dispensing of Justice? Would he still love her if she revealed her hidden secrets and confessed her past? Their Faith will be tested in a roller coaster of trials, emotions, and deceit.

Western Avenue and Other Fictions

By: Fred Arroyo

In these engaging and often gripping short stories, Fred Arroyo takes us into the lives of working-class Hispanic migrants and immigrants, who are often invisible while they work in plain sight across America. As characters intertwine and evolve across stories, Arroyo creates a larger narrative that dramatizes the choices we make to create identity, make meaning, and deal with hardships and loss. His stories are linked by a concern with borders, both real and imagined, and the power that memory and imagination have to shape and structure our lives. Through his characters and their true-to-life situations, Arroyo makes visible both internal and external conflicts that are deeply rooted in—and affected by—place. A bodega, a university town, a factory, a Chicago street, some dusty potato fields: here is where we encounter ordinary people who work, dream, love, and persist in the face of violence, bereavement, disappointment, and loss—particularly the loss of mothers, fathers, and loved ones. Arroyo's characters experience a strange wonder as the midwestern United States increasingly appears to be a place created by the Latinas and Latinos who remain out of the sight and minds of Anglos. In lyrical language weighted by detail, exquisite imagery, and evocative story, Arroyo imagines characters who confront the tattered connections between memory and longing, generations and geographies, place and displacement, as they begin to feel their own longings, "breathing in whatever was offered, feeling, deep in the small and fragile borders of my heart," as one character puts it, "that it came with a sorrow I could never betray.

Hollywood--Home Style

Making Motion Pictures During the Brief Heyday of 16mm Industrial Films

By: Fred L. Frechette

During their twenty-year heyday, 16mm motion pictures were used for a wide variety of purposes, including public relations, fundraising, sales education, training, and motivation. Fred Frechette was fortunate enough to become involved in this field during the height of popularity for the 16mm industrial film. "In making them," writes Mr. Frechette, "we performed the same functions Hollywood filmmakers performed in their 35mm movies. But our films could be made at far less cost-and we probably enjoyed it more". Hollywood-Home Style, by Fred L. Frechette, is an often amusing, generously spirited memoir as the author looks back at his years writing, directing, and producing 16mm industrial films. The journey begins with Mr. Frechette's first script, for Richmond's United Givers Fund in 1960, and follows his work experience through his final effort, for Philip Morris in 1981. Along the way, the author relates interesting and entertaining stories of the frequent trials and tribulations the film crew faced, as well as the jubilant, triumphal moments. Fred Frechette and his colleagues gave every job their best effort. They worked and laughed together for twenty years for the love of the job they were doing. Hollywood-Home Style tells their fascinating and unique story. Book jacket.
