This paper presents certain aspects of the findings of a research project to develop and implement a Lean and agile mechanical and electrical (M Construction System on a case study project. The objective of the research project for the sponsor company is to improve its projects site operations making them safer for the worker and improving efficiency and productivity by overcoming the problems and issues that it faces in the M industry within the UK construction sector. The research finds that using the System on the case study project, and when compared to a traditional method, a 37% reduction in onsite labour was achieved; no time slippage occurred during onsite assembly to delay or disrupt other trades; less workers onsite were exposed to lower health and safety risks from site operations leading to zero reportable accidents; good ergonomics was achieved by focussing on workplace design thus improving workers wellbeing; an improved quality of work was achieved for those required on site carrying out simpler assembly tasks; productivity gains were achieved by eliminating process waste; a 7% direct labour reduction was achieved leading to no labour cost escalation that otherwise could have occurred further reducing the risk of labour cost escalation.

Thanks all who contributed to this thread. I already owned a pair of Polarized wrap style Rayban 4075 but picked up Chromance 4275 while in Cancun a few weeks back.It wasn until I got back to the states that I could really read on the technology and came across reading that mentioned Maui Jim etc are better because they are engineered at the molecular level not just a piece of plastic with a film over it like Luxoticca has been doing for years.I had a chance to wear the glasses for a few days and notice virtually no difference between Chromance and regular Ray Ban polarized. Perhaps the colors pop a little more.

Marisa Tomei, as Cassidy the pole dancer, delivers a courageous performance, one nearly as ego battering as Rourke’s. That Randy would be looking for love in a strip bar is perhaps “The Wrestler’s” most poetic aspect. Both Randy and Cassidy practice their own forms of public nudity; both exist in fairly shadowy worlds that thrive on youth; both are aging out.

Final Thoughts: I judge my whiskey neat and this it he first one I’ve had that I honestly believe would be better over a full glass of rocks poured to the rim. If the goal here was to compete against Jim Beam Bonded, I’ll spend the extra $5 and grab that. I should have picked a better one to get back into the swing of reviewing, but this was calling to me when I was going over some of my purchases over the past three months.
