Switzerland's Jura Crest Trail

Ali Rowsell

This guide presents Switzerland's Jura Crest Trail or Crêtes du Jura (also known as the Jura High Route and Swiss national route 5. This 310km long-distance route traverses the sub-alpine mountains of the Swiss Jura from Dielsdorf near Zurich to Nyon on the shores of Lac Léman (Lake Geneva), running roughly parallel to the Swiss-French border. With over 13,500m of ascent, the trail demands a moderate level of fitness and can be comfortably completed in around a fortnight.
The Jura Crest Trail is easily accessed from Zurich and Geneva. The region boasts excellent walking infrastructure and facilities, and although the trail crosses the mountains, you are seldom too far from civilisation. The guide contains all the information you need to plan and walk the route. You'll find advice on transport and comprehensive details of accommodation and refreshments. The trek itself is presented from east to west in 14 stages of 12-32km, with step-by-step route description accompanied by clear mapping and notes on local points of interest.
The Jura Crest Trail boasts far-reaching views of the Bernese Oberland, the Haute Savoie and the Rhine and Rhone Valleys, and is rich in geological, natural and historical interest. Passing through woodland and alpine meadows and crossing rolling limestone plateaux, highlights include the spectacular amphitheatre of the Creux du Van, the medieval towns of Baden and Brugg, and Lac de Joux, the largest lake in the Jura mountains.

Programming of CNC Machines

Reliability Assessment: A Guide to Aligning Expectations, Practices, and Performance

Daniel Daley

Addressing the elements of reliability using a new and creative approach for the first time in one source, this book is intended to simplify the assessment of reliability by first identifying the current expectations then assessing the current practices to determine if expectations are realistic or if they are not supported by programs and practices. It combines the most effective and efficient of those approaches into a single activity that shows managers what they have a right to expect and what they do not. Most often, this discovery comes as the result of painful failures and production losses. This unique book and the process it describes will allow the discovery of this misalignment to take place at a more convenient and less costly time. Designed to be easy to read, this resource is perfect for busy people who have little time for long and tedious texts or courses that take them away from their workplace. Reliability Engineers, Maintenance and Reliability Managers, Engineering Managers, Plant and Corporate Senior Staff and Executives looking ways to enhance performance, and Consultants who may want to enrich their portfolio by adding this tool will all benefit from the information found in this resource. Provides the reader with a clear description of the overall concept of Aligning Reliability Expectations. Contains both simple examples and the methodology needed to determine if the programs at each step during the lifecycle of a plant or system will adequately create or maintain reliability. Describes how to organize a Wide-Hart assessment. Describes how to conduct a Wide-Hart assessment. Describes how to communicate results of a Wide-Hart assessment. Describes steps in organizing for correcting weaknesses found during the Wide-Hart assessment. Contains the Control Document for organizing the assessment and corrective action and the Assessment form for organizing results from assessment and describing results.
