History of industrial production has gone through different phases, starting from craftsmanship, evolving to mass production and process improvement and lately to mass customization. This new way to organize production has challenged all industries producing products and services. In this research we are concentrating to software industry, which is a young and fast moving industry. We describe ...

Background The xanthan gum production has been growing significantly. It is estimated an annual increase by about 5 to 10%. The production needs a carbon source in fermentation media and are commonly employed as glucose or sucrose, which accounts for about 50% of the cost of production. Therefore the use of agro-industrial residues, such as corn cob for the production of xanthan gum becomes sug...

The paper concentrates on the positive development dynamics of « industrial districts » based on the network of small and medium-sized firms, in opposition to the decline of industrial centres of mass production in transition countries. The crux of the matter is to establish whether or not industrial districts constitute a model for the regeneration of local and regional economies in central Eu...

N O T E . Charles Gilbert directed the 2002 revision and, along with Kimberly Bayard, William Cleveland, and Dixon Tranum, prepared the revised estimates of industrial production. Norman Morin and John Stevens prepared the revised estimates of capacity and capacity utilization. In late 2002, the Federal Reserve published a revision of its index of industrial production (IP) and the related meas...

The Spanish methods to improve timeliness in the industrial production indices are presented in this paper. They fit into a more general program carried out for all the industrial statistics produced by the National Statistical Institute of Spain. The target of the program is to reduce publication dates without any loss of accuracy. The implementation of the program is a direct consequence of t...
