The aim of this thesis is to explain how the shops (tabernae) of Roman Britain related to society. The buildings of a more humble nature, including tabernae, have been frequently overlooked at the expense of the more ornate public buildings and villas. This thesis proposes to redress this imbalance, as it is believed that retailing and manufacture were one of the most crucial features of Roman society. Varied sources have been used to aid this hypothetical reconstruction and these included the excavated archaeological remains, the extant remains from other parts of the empire and the ancient literary sources. Although these provided a wealth of information they are by themselves limited in what they can reveal about their society. Anthropological and geographical studies have proved an immensely useful tool to illuminate other aspects of society. These were approached with great circumspection and examined in relation to the archaeological evidence. Using all this information the thesis attempts to describe and explain the major factors that helped to create the form and geographical pattern of retail establishments in Roman Britain. It is argued that the tabernae were more responsive to and give a more accurate picture of the social and economic climate of Roman Britain than any other building type. It appears that the Romano-British community was well catered for in life's necessities with a wide variety of merchandise supplied by tabernae. The development of tabernae is difficult to summarise, as more than any other building type they were subject to a multitude of varied and individual circumstances, but it can be demonstrated that a thriving and competitive retailing community existed in the major settlements of Roman Britain.

This thesis is intended to provide the management of small to medium sized job shop companies with a written plan to implement a formal computerized manufacturing planning and control system. The research stemmed from a case study performed at a typical job shop where growth of production activities was complicating the informal control system being used. A review of the literature and a survey of job shops provided the necessary foundation for this implementation. Research indicated that typical material requirements planning (MRP) systems do not provide the type of shop floor control that most job shops require. This thesis suggests alternatives that not only provide the type of shop floor control required by a typical job shop, but software that can be managed effectively by current employees with minimal changes to the education and training of these employees. The plan contains ten steps that are designed to be used by a job shop wishing to implement a formal computerized control system. A decision making heuristic is used in the first step that provides a method for estimating the benefits that might result from implementation. Sample criteria for evaluating current shop floor control software, development of an implementation timeline, cost considerations, educational requirements for employees, and suggested methods for measuring project performance are also included. Examples of the type of improvement that can be expected for each of the business activities is also discussed. The overall goal is to provide a comprehensive plan that will guide managers through the steps necessary to implement a computerized shop floor control system and to inform managers of the benefits which can accrue from such a system. / Graduation date: 1999
