The aim of this interactive game is a thorough insight into industrial engineering method called SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die). This method is focused on reducing changeover time of machines or lines. The rapid changeover is nowadays one of the most important issues ensuring a sufficient flexibility of an enterprise. SMED game is designed for a flexible usage in terms of number of players involved in the game and length of playing time. Specifically, it is usable for one to twelve players and playing time can be set from one to four hours. Main goal of the game is an application of entire conception of SMED method.

In aging society, we have to care the elderly people who cannot support themselves without other's assistance because of disorders. However, some kind of care job put the workers physical and psychological strain. In this study, we propose the application of Industrial Engineering method, which had been produced to improve the work in factories, into care work. The result of experiment shows that PTS can contribute to improvement of care work.

Some motor assembly enterprises manage production site according to experience, which causing process was not scientific and lower efficiency. Through researching for a motor assembly production field, analyzed and improved the process and site layout using industrial engineering method such as 5W1H and ECRS etc., optimized layout of store, reduced processing and transportation 2 times each, canceled unnecessary wait, saved transportation distance 20.6m, reduced production cycle 8.1 min, at the same time, the site operators was decreased through the reasonable allocation, greatly increased the production efficiency, make the management more scientific and reasonable.

Industrial engineering achieved rapid growth in providing safety measurements in all industries, following different safety policies to prevent faults in sectors. Industrial safety is an essential feature to give an accident-free environment. The safety policies and measurements encourage the industrial people to work in different perilous conditions. Industries prepare their safety policy and safety manual to identify various faults and risks. It is necessary to create awareness in industrial working members, and industries maintain special departments for safety. The safety guidelines prevent occupational injuries and accidents. The safety rules and regulations reduce the waste of human and other resources in industries. The study evaluates safety models used in industry to identify issues involved in the selection, implementation, and evaluation. This research provides insight into the overall process for industrial safety and, most essential, overviews on the methodology. Predicting industrial faults and risks emphasized the industrial engineering process and used machine learning algorithms for classifications. Many issues and challenges discussed industrial safety and provided novel innovation ideas for researchers.

The investigations which I should like to summarize in this paper concern recent photo-electric luminosity determinations of O and B stars. Their final aim has been the derivation of new stellar distances, and some insight into certain patterns of galactic structure.

ABSTRACTThis paper models maximum entropy configurations of idealized gravitational ring systems. Such configurations are of interest because systems generally evolve toward an ultimate state of maximum randomness. For simplicity, attention is confined to ultimate states for which interparticle interactions are no longer of first order importance. The planets, in their orbits about the sun, are one example of such a ring system. The extent to which the present approximation yields insight into ring systems such as Saturn's is explored briefly.

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.
