all SKUs. Normally there is a range of items from high volume, low variability items that require a highly repetitive supply plan, through to those with sporadic requirements that should ideally be 'make to order'. This segmentation fits closely with the principles of Lean Manufacturing. A common mistake here is to confuse Demand Variability calculated entirely from the historical demand pattern with Forecast Variability, which is the variance between history and forecast. The former is correct the later is meaningless. 6. Use the correct replenishment rule to calculate the correct stock level for each SKU level, to satisfy the agreed customer service level in the SLA. Once all the levers of cost are understood and the appropriate replenishment rule selected for each SKU, an inventory and production plan can be built that delivers the desired customer service Levels. In order to get the correct balance of inventory and manufacturing cost, a new way of calculating inventory holding is required, that flys in the face of much of the conventional inventory planning wisdom. The traditional approach is to calculate a moving safety stock based upon a number of weeks forecast, sometimes ôrefinedö by using forecast variability against historical usage (in APS systems). This method is fatally flawed in 2 ways; it relies exclusively on forecasts in order to calculate the amount of safety stock required, and it actively plans in a level of ædeadÆ stock, with the anticipated on-hand levels moving between the safety stock level and safety stock plus the minimum order qty. The new approach to inventory target calculation sets a maximum target level of inventory for each SKU. This is made up of an element of inventory for the replenishment time plus an element for demand variability, which is statistically related to the required service level from the stocked item. This approach makes the entire inventory available for use, with on-hand levels fluctuating between the inventory target and zero. It also builds in some sound statistical probability of material availability based on historical demand variability. As long as your S&OP process flags up demand that falls outside of this agreed variability, you will have a lean level of stock that supports your customer SLA at least cost. 7. Completely separate Planning activity from Execution activity Another curse of MRP is its ability to blur the line between planning and execution. A planner is being asked to

than Starbucks'. So contradictory was this claim to the two companies' reputations for this demographic group that the colleagues refused to put the matter to a taste test. 5. Extensions. With a well-established brand, you can spread the respect you've earned to a related new product, service or location and more easily win acceptance of the newcomer. For instance, when a winery with a good reputation starts up regional winery tours, then adds foreign ones, each business introduction benefits from the positive perceptions already in place. 6. Greater company equity. Making your company into a brand usually means that you can get more money for the company when you decide to sell it. A Coca-Cola executive once said that if all the company's facilities and inventory vanished all around the world, he could walk into any bank and take out a loan based only on the right to the Coca-Cola name and formula. 7. Lower marketing expenses. Although you must invest money to create a...

to which customers will subject the product, it should be remembered that customers will use the product for uses which the inventor intended as well as uses which the inventor did not intend, nor even foresee such use. For example, a screw driver might be used as a chisel which is struck by a hammer. Care must be taken to make the product robust enough to withstand foreseeable unintended uses and to warn the customer of foreseeable hazardous uses such as by applying a warning sticker to the product and a warning on the packaging and on the instructional materials. Questions in this regard should be directed towards a lawyer specializing in the legal field of Products Liability, such as in most larger city yellow pages phonebook. Finally, regarding factor 4, that the product is not properly packaged, advertised, and promoted to appeal to the customer, it should be remembered that the packaging of the product is part of the overall first impression the potential customer has of your ...

Consistently put out your communication in the same way you did with your initial mailings, but with a more personalized message. That is Database Marketing. That is how you get people to buy from you after they have reached by following up with them enough. Put in your calendar to make three different follow up phone calls; if you get voice mail then leave a message that really communicates to them. Send a variable data postcard, send an email, but stay in touch. You will be glad you did û in fact youÆll be smiling all the way to the bank. Title: Staying Afloat in a World Gone Adrift Word Count: 1247 Summary: Stating that we are living in a "world gone mad" may sound a bit drastic, but no one can deny we're hurtling towards an ugly place at a speed we can't control. The economy is going downhill, jobs are being shipped off overseas and even real estate is declining in value. How can we protect our future when our present is so dire? The outlook doesn't have t...
