The great emphasis is currently placed on the optimal layout of individual workplaces and machines in the issue of production and production logistics. It is possible to achieve by the selecting an appropriate organizational layout form of machines and devices. There are several layout forms – technological, subject, free, modular and cellular. The paper is focused on clarifying the basic features and differences of individual machines layout and on the application these features on the specific production of certain part type through the simulation in the simulation program. There are several programs, which are used on the production simulation, for example: Plant Simulation, Simul 8, Witness etc. Witness program is the world recognized program. The utilization of individual machines layout is possible to determine by the using of this program. The simulation of production system is possible to use in the assembly system. The similar problem is solving in a project VEGA 1/0206/09 / Intelligent assembly cell.

The presented article deals with the issue of solving bottlenecks in the logistics flow of a manufacturing company. The Tx Plant Simulation software tool is used to detect bottlenecks and deficiencies in the company’s production, logistics and transportation systems. Together with the use of simulation methods and lean manufacturing tools, losses in business processes are eliminated and consequently flow throughput is improved. In the TX Plant Simulation software environment, using Bottleneck analyzer, bottlenecks were defined on the created simulation model and a method of optimizing logistics flows was designed and tested by introducing the Kanban pull system. This resulted in an improvement and throughput of the entire logistics flow, a reduction in inter-operational stocks and an increase in the efficiency of the production system as a whole.

AbstractThe Yoruba are an important ethnic group mainly occupying Southwestern Nigeria. Mainly for genetic reasons, this very large tribe happens to present the highest dizygotic twinning rate in the world (4.4 % of all maternities). The high perinatal mortality rate associated with such pregnancies has contributed to the integration of a special twin belief system within the African traditional religion of this tribe. The latter is based on the concept of a supreme deity called Olodumare or Olorun, assisted by a series of secondary gods (Orisha) while Yoruba religion also involves immortality and reincarnation of the soul based on the animistic cult of ancestors. Twins are therefore given special names and believed to detain special preternatural powers. In keeping with their refined artistic tradition, the Yoruba have produced numerous wooden statuettes called Ibejis that represent the souls of deceased newborn twins and are involved in elaborate rituals. Among Yoruba traditional beliefs and lore some twin-related themes are represented which are also found in other parts of the world. Basic features of the original Yoruba beliefs have found their way into the religious traditions of descendants of African slaves imported in the West Indies and in South America.

An increase in the number of product types required by customers results in an increase in the complexity of logistics systems. This finding is particularly characteristic of production logistics systems, where the use of flexible production systems is becoming increasingly important. One of the defining tools for the development of these processes is the value process mapping method, a static version of which suitable for the simultaneous examination of a product family has become widespread in corporate practice. The paper presents the method of dynamic value stream mapping, which is also suitable for the examination of complex logistics systems, exploring its steps and the possibilities of its application in production logistics. An example prepared using the VSM module of the Plant Simulation framework is also presented to illustrate the application of the method.

Abstract A new method is presented for the optimal coordination of a two-robot system performing contact operations. One of the robots carries a tool and performs the specific contact operation on a workpiece which is grasped and maneuvered by the second robot. The two robots move simultaneously relative to each other so that the tool maintains contact with the workpiece while moving along its prescribed trajectory at a constant speed. This prescribed trajectory, which is specified with respect to the workpiece frame, is thus resolved into a pair of conjugate trajectories, one for each robot, and specified in the world coordinate frame. This resolution process does not yield a unique solution, i.e. there exist an infinity of conjugate-trajectory pairs corresponding to a given tool trajectory. This paper presents a technique for resolving the original tool trajectory, where the robots’ conjugate trajectories are parameterized using polynomial functions. A method is then developed for selecting the optimal pair of conjugate trajectories on the basis of minimizing a given choice of cost function. This optimization is further enhanced by coupling it to a procedure for selecting the optimal layout of the robots within the workcell, resulting in the best possible solutions. Numerical simulation results support the validity of the proposed technique.

This chapter looks at a variety of ethnographic cases to show how recognition and intentionality are elaborated and brought into focus in different cultural contexts. It studies the concept of dewa, which seems to thematize the role that other people play in one's own sense of self. This concept, however, is not simply just one way of describing a universal feature of interaction. Once crystallized as an object of reflections, something that Sumbanese consciously know about the world and can connect to other things they know about their world, it also guides them as they purposefully undertake ethical actions. Indeed, the chapter argues that if recognition and intentionality are basic features of all social interaction anywhere, they also serve as affordances for dealing with, or reflecting on, particular ethical questions that concern a given community.

South Africa remains one of the most unequal societies in the world and any discussion around poverty and the church’s response cannot exclude this reality. This article attempts to analyse the response of wealthy, ‘majority white’ suburban congregations in the southern suburbs of Cape Town to issues of poverty and inequality. This is attempted through the lense of restorative justice, which is broadly explored and defined through a threefold perspective of reconciliation, reparations and restitution. The first part explores a description of the basic features of poverty and inequality in South Africa today, followed by a discussion on restorative justice. This is followed by the case study, which gives the views of clergy and lay leaders with regard to their congregations’ perspectives and responses to poverty and inequality within the context of restorative justice. Findings from the case study begin to plot a tentative ‘way forward’ as to how our reality can more constructively be engaged from the perspective of congregational involvement in reconstruction of our society.

The Rise Of China

To better assess the global impact of the ascendance of emerging powers brought about by globalization, this paper attempts to provide a conceptual framework of “interdependent hegemony,” which can serve as an alternative conceptual tool for analyzing the dynamics between the role of emerging powers as a counter-hegemonic, socio-political force and the hegemonic resilience of the existing international order. The paper also regards the capitalist world economy as a dynamic system which is under constant changes over time, whereas certain basic features of the system remain in place. It is argued that despite the rise of emerging powers, the functioning of the world economy will always generate inequalities with positional changes in the stratification of the core-semiperiphery-periphery structure. In this context, the rise of China as both a recipient and provider of global production and investment is fundamentally a positive driving force behind the evolution of the world system.
