Instead of duplicating engineering work from one country to the next, GM's worldwide units now share basic components and work together to design vehicles that with a few tweaks can be sold anywhere in the world.
But it is notoriously ill-suited to high-tech industries that have to tailor each item to a customer's specific needs (as in a data-switching centre or air-traffic-control system) or in which it is crucial that thousands of interrelated components all work correctly together (as in a rocket vehicle).
As a consequence many people that used to design HDDs and HDD components no longer work in this industry.
Adding to the troubles are flooding at assembly and components facilities and work stoppages due to poor access and power outages.

Freeman says that new technologies, particularly software components, will work against the emergence of new acoustic instruments, like violins or flutes.
All of those components need to work together to fix the problems.

In addition, Lockheed has also indicated that it will offer manufacture of major components, maintenance work and engine assembly of the F-35 to Japanese firms.

There is a kind of manufacturing, often with high components of craft work, which needs to be in urban areas because it is networked, depends on contracting and subcontracting arrangements, and often needs direct contact with customers.
Generating apples-to-apples comparisons among so many components and systems is tedious work.
It also says "unanswered questions remain in many crucial areas such as practical implementation and how individual components within the reforms will work together".
Less power going in means less heat coming out and removes the need for fans and other devices to cool the hot chips and other components doing all the hard work.
However, partly because of the flip mechanism and the hidden components needed to make it work, the XPS 12 is heavier and thicker than the largest MacBook Air, which starts at the same price and has a bigger screen, at 13.3 inches.

But he also points to cultural differences that might impede Europe's growth even if those regulatory barriers are swept away: workers in Europe's big economies are less likely to regard the opportunity for innovation, autonomy and interesting work as vital components of a job.
ECONOMIST: Why can't Europe's economies catch up with America?
The components can be configured as necessary to work with existing systems and meet specific mission requirements.
Though BIA programs, Tribes improve their tribal governmental infrastructure, community infrastructure, education, job training, and employment opportunities along with other components of long term sustainable development that work to improve the quality of life for their members.

Among those projects are the supply of manufacturing components, energy-related construction and development work and ship repair.
Cramming multiple radios, using multiple technologies, plus Wi-Fi, plus Bluetooth, and GPS requires top-notch engineers who understand antennas, filters, and the other components necessary to build a product that will work well and satisfy the general public.

Although there are no moving parts to go wrong, the law of averages seems to dictate that some of the myriad components will occasionally fail, and scientists who work regularly on computors rely on the machine being available for at best only 80 per cent of its theoretical working time.
If the value of work in progress (or stocks, components) has risen strongly then the first story is more likely to be true.

So, if evolution is to produce change, it must work more by the accretion of new components than by the continuous re-engineering of existing ones.
ECONOMIST: The first complete DNA sequence of an animal is now in the bag
But Chinese factories have little trouble assembling digital cameras: all they need to do is to obtain advanced components from Japan that are pre-designed to work in harmony when snapped together.
Sadly, Pebble won't be making its way to backers by its original September estimate, but the design team wants you to know that it's hard at work, traveling the world to source components, running shipping tests and spending time refining the user interface in order to provide a top-notch experience once you do receive your device in the mail.
There are a lot of components that have to fit together precisely for it to work.
The idea was that children could use special Lego components to build their own experimental instruments, which would work as MIDI controllers.
At the core of the Sub-Zero is a series of TEC peltier coolers that work in conjunction with other high-end liquid cooling components.
His quick work put HP, perhaps the largest buyer of computer components in the world, at the head of the queue for the suddenly-scarce parts.
Besides the economic logic of each of these components discussed above, the experience with Reaganomics proves the plan will work within a year or so of adoption to get the economy booming again.
The new law has three major components, all of which are designed to encourage states to implement a work sharing program and promote it among their employers.
The three components of the programme would be good relations, good citizenship and steps into work.
