Bottom-Line Automation, 2nd Edition Peter G. Martin This newly revised edition helps today’s manufacturing companies face the challenges of a global marketplace where every part of the operation must become more efficient to enhance the bottom line. Based on the results and conclusions of an applied research project of process manufacturing operations directed by the author, Bottom-Line Automation presents an overview of more than 30 years of industry trends, pointing out the strengths and pitfalls of each. The book also explains how manufacturers selected automation technology suppliers for state-of-the-art technological features in their systems rather than for the improvements the technology could offer the manufacturing operation. New topics in the book discuss the economic optimization of industrial assets.

Bungee Jumping & Cocoons: The Dual Nature of the Industrial Marketplace John D. Kenworthy This book presents a unique tale of two contrasting thoughts: bungee jumping and cocoons. Bungee jumping is “our present culture’s predilection for embracing all things extreme,” the author explains. Cocoons represent “our willingness to nest within our homes with no need or desire to come out and mingle with the wicked world.” How do these dual ideas play out in our society? How do they illuminate our industrial marketplace and e-commerce activities? This book sheds some light on how to get beyond the crossroads we are seemingly at—in terms of industrial maturity, economic transition, and societal metamorphosis.
