How To Lose a Customer for Life
My friend told me about a local restaurant that serves a variety of Chinese dim sum dishes. He went there with five friends for a business lunch and ordered widely from the menu. Each dish featured six bite-sized items, one per person.Most of the food was delicious, but one tofu dish did not measure up. All six diners popped the tofu into their mouths. Then all six turned up their noses at the taste. The tofu had gone rancid.Tofu disintegrates pretty quickly in the mouth, so everyone swallowed hard and reached quickly for their drinks to wash away the taste. The waitress apologized right away and promised to tell the owner. Better-tasting dishes soon followed.But whe

How You Can Create Advertising That Sells
A well-planned and properly executed marketing program should include a sufficient commitment of capital resources to an on-going, well executed advertising program.

I get a lot of blank stares. A few tense moments will pass while the client tries to think of a clever answer. "To get the company n

Inventory Management - One Size Does Not Fit All
If there is one great myth in inventory management it is that one single technique will solve all inventory problems. Not that people believe that one technique will solve all problems in all situations but that in any given company one approach is all that is required to manage all inventory.For the inventory manager this is very attractive as it means that there is only one approach to manage.

These include JIT, MRP, DRP, SCM, Risk Management, safety stock and EOQ’s Sometimes they are used on a stand alon
