    RFID Technology Simplifies Distribution
    Toronto, ON, Nov, 2006 - There are many applications for how RFID systems help manufacturers and warehouse operations; these applications can be as unique as the enterprise they help. However, there are some common areas in these industries related to their logistics of getting the finished product to the customer or to another distribution center. Bottlenecking of the goods at the shipping door has implications on the costs to ship goods, lowers revenues when th

    An Introduction To Culvert Pipes
    A culvert pipe is a cutting under or beside a road that allows water to drain, rather than pooling and creating hazardous conditions. Technically, only an enclosed channel under a road could be further classified as a culvert, and a cutting next to a road is recognized as a ditch. Culverts Pipes are a very important part of the system used to drain roads and drives, keeping them secure and extending their lifetimes.Ideally, a culvert installation is done w
    It is estimated that returns cost the Consumer Electronics industry more than $10 billion annually, and although returns are unavoidable, it is essential that a means to capture the “true” reason for product returns be developed and implemented. Information obtained from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) indicates that over 60% of all returns reflect a reason code of “defective.”

    This seems quite high in light of the great expense and technology used by manufacturers of electronics in today’s market place. But let us for a moment examine the current method of gathering return information from the end consumer. In most cases when a product is returned a clerk simply asks the reason for the return, the consumer wanting to facilitate a smooth return experience simply states the product “doesn’t work” the product is returned, credit is received, and both parties are happy (especially since the true cost of the return is bore by the manufacturer/distributor).

Even certain retailers advertise “no hassle” return policies, suggesting that products can be returned for any reason at any time. In these cases the return’s clerk either marks

    IT Consulting: Sell Services, Not Products
    A successful IT consulting business should be focused on selling your consulting services and not selling products. At this stage of the game of starting an IT consulting business, you should not be looking to be a dealer for someone or an authorized solution for someone.You can get those things if you think it will help your business a little bit, but don’t build your IT consulting business around that. It’s not a product driven economy anymore. It's a

    Emery Express and Consolidated Freight; an end of an era
    What many may not realize is that Emery Express was also a CF Company. You see John C. Emery, Sr. founded Emery Air Freight in 1946, when his company became the first air freight forwarder to apply for a common carrier license from the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). While Emery envisioned his company working in partnership with scheduled airlines, the airlines considered freight forwarders as competitors and fought his license application until 1948, at which tim

    Medical Billing - GU0 Record Fields 69 Through 72
    While it seems like we would never come to the end of our medical billing series on electronic billing using NSF 3.01 specifications and the GU0 record, we have finally come to the last few fields. In this installment, we introduct a new CMN field type with its own special rules for filling it out, as if things weren't complicated enough already. We pick up our review of the GU0 record with field number 69.Before we start our review of the field itself,

    Fulfillment Companies
    Although companies have much in common with one another, they also differ in many ways. Some companies are large, some are small and some operate in only one product area, others operate in many diversified areas. Some operate in a small geographic area whereas others do business in many countries of the world. To cope with these varied objectives, strategies and situations, companies adopt different structures.Departmentation is the process of dividing th

Even certain retailers advertise “no hassle” return policies, suggesting that products can be returned for any reason at any time. In these cases the return’s clerk either marks the reason for return as “defective” or leaves the return reason completely blank; thus forcing the manufacturer to test the product to determine (or in some cases guess) the real reason for the return.

    It is interesting to note that the CEA has recognized a new trend in the timing of returns. An analysis comparing return patterns from the year 2000 to 2002 suggests that individuals are holding products longer before returning to the retailer, thus increasing the usage time of the good. Although the bulk of returns (44%) are taken to the retailer within one week of purchase, items held for more than one month before being returned increased from 13% to 21% from 2000 to 2002.

    The “true” reason for the return may vary from buyer’s remorse to displeasure with the color to even confusion on how to operate the product. In an ideal world the manufacturer’s help line would be called if the product does not work as expected. But we, as powerful and busy consumers, want a product to work as expected, right out of the box, without the fuss and muss of calling a techn
