This volume contains the papers presented at the Leiden Conference on Canonization and Decanonization, held in January 1997. The emphasis is on the processes of canonization and decanonization in several religions, and on the phenomenon of religious canons. The two sections discuss (de)canonization and the history of religions, and (de)canonization and modern society. In the first section, processes out of which canons eventually emerge are highlighted in contributions devoted to particular religions, such as African religions, Judaism and Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism.

Car manufacturing involves the movement of large numbers of heavy, awkward objects incorporating some 20,000 parts, through a large number of short cycles. As to be expected the constant flow of the process involved is disrupted by both the inherent complexities of production and those of market restrictions. This study, a unique blend of analysis, history, and case studies, not only characterizes the essence of car manufacturing but also explains the likes between production, market conditions, and financial results and constraints. At the same time, it challenges fashionable views on the car
