The Second Century: Reconnecting Customer and Value Chain through Build-to-Order; Moving beyond Mass and Lean Production in the Auto Industry Matthias Holweg, Frits K. Pil
 As the auto industry moves into its second century, it suffers from low margins and a sclerotic value chain that cannot evolve with customer desires. Inventories of many weeks pile up on dealer lots and at distribution centers around the world while executives applaud marginal improvements in factory efficiency. Value streams based on Henry Ford's mass-production model from the early 1900s do not deliver the strategic flexibility that is needed in today's increasingly competitive and demanding market. With billions of potential product variations, customers still compromise by selecting from a limited number of products sitting at dealerships or at distribution centers. Those customers who dare insist on a specific variation not only wait weeks but also pay extra for the privilege of telling vehicle manufacturers what they actually want. In The Second Century , Matthias Holweg and Frits Pil provide a comprehensive look at today's dysfunctional......

Futures 101 : An Introduction to Commodity Trading (2000 Edition) Richard E. Waldron
 Curious about commodities? If you're looking for a good book with an overview of futures, this one works. FUTURES 101 tells how money is made and lost in today's fast-paced futures market and does so in an interesting style - part commentary, part verse, snippets rather than long chapters. Plus it does not try to sell you something or promise the moon. This is all about commodity futures trading, a financial arena bigger than the stock market yet relatively unknown or understood. Profits, pitfalls and dozens of subjects are covered in detail. Some examples even have sprinkles of trivia and smiles for clarity and to keep the reader awake.

An interesting side chapter analyzes the $104,926.00 profit made by Hillary Clinton many years before Bill Clinton was......
