Outsourcing all or part of your business providing Third Party Logistics (3PL) provider has become standard in the industry. However, it is important that the right supplier to meet specific needs and to maintain a healthy and lasting relationship after the contract given to deal with him / her was colored. This article describes ways to get the most out of your 3PL relationships, so that these mutually beneficial for both parties areContract.

Relationship Management:

The relationship with logistics service providers do not stop with the signing of the Treaty. In fact, in many ways is just the beginning. They have the same responsibility that the report so that feed on the benefits we're looking at competitive prices.

or support of top management, logistics is a substantial part of the corporate budget. E 'therefore important that the relationship with the supplier is part of the PLsociety and the long-term strategy. This is possible only if the support of top management and commitment from the outset. This obligation will penetrate into the lower ranks. The manager responsible for this function should be in line with the corporate vision and objectives, as well as logistics experience. efficient supply chains have a material impact on company performance and can lead to improved service levels.

Or contracts: 3PL providers have a tendency toThe emphasis on their ability and promise more than they can offer. A detailed contract with the expectations, responsibilities and performance parameters are clearly defined, the basis for a lasting relationship. Avoid generalizations and maintaining standards of performance measured. The treaties are the basis of the report, but it is helpful to remember every other day in an attempt to enforce it. Instead, create a climate of trust, so that the functional efficiencyoptimized. The mechanism of conflict resolution should be clearly included in the contract.

Leeway or functional, not just the services of a 3PL providers were involved, it allows full freedom of action. If your research was good and it has hired a professional agency, it is your responsibility to use their experience and provide performance of the contract. Their role in the following, the report and not the services provided to manage. In general, experts intheir territory, the service providers the latest technology to their field. Will serve the interest of the lessee to upgrade their systems to bring them at par with those of the 3PL provider, so that synergies are exploited.

o Integration: The customer must ensure that all systems involved in the supply chain are fully integrated. individual functions such as procurement, manufacturing, finance and distribution are fully integrated with the 3PL provider.Only this will ensure that business objectives are met the largest.

The selection of a competent and best-of-breed "3PL provider is important decision. The decision of outsourcing is strategic and it is the commitment of top management people. Much responsibility rests on the client relationship to ensure a well managed and offers maximum .

To use a tow strap


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Tow straps can be a lifesaver if you are ever in a situation where you do not need a rescue vehicle and rescue the stranded and road available, but a frayed belt or a faulty installation can cause irreparable damage to a vehicle or even a cause of death from injury. If you do not know what you do and how to follow adequate safety measures, you are better off waiting for a tow truck with a professional pilot. Although the cost may be more time and money do not take thisspending, the alternative could be devastating.

Of course you want to make sure you have the proper equipment, covered shortly, but first consider the coupling, carefully inspect both vehicles - a car that will make the hitch and the one that needs to be towed. If you see rust on any part of the chassis or frame, be very careful. If the connection snapped when towing, tow hooks, belts and car parts could end up flying through the airat high speeds.

When you are sure that the vehicles safely handle the rigors of the trailer, it's time to inspect the hitch:

First make sure that the belt is used the right material. The best tow straps should be reinforced with Cordura or similar material that resists wear made of high quality in the industry, and extremities. Stay away from natural fiber ropes, such as ropes, hooks and eyes which are already adequate.

Then check the cableSling for all points frayed or torn. Even a seemingly innocent place torn could cause problems.

Finally, make sure you have the right tools. If a car is not equipped with tow hooks, you can use the D-ring adapter to attach to a smooth. Never tow straps attach to the frame, a bumper or axle.

If you pay attention to the following precautions, you can create a vehicle out of trouble without damage to the vehicles to get even, or spectators.

Multinomial logistic regression models and ordinal variables


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The multinomial (aka polytomous) logistic regression is a simple extension of binomial logistic regression model. They are used when the dependent variable is greater than two (disordered) has rated categories.

Dummy coding of independent variables is quite common. In multinomial logistic regression, the dependent variable is dummy-coded variables 1 / 0 is a variable for all categories except one, so if there are categories M will be M-1 dummy variables. All except their own category dummy variable. Each category is dummy variable has a value of 1 in its category and a 0 for all others. A category, the category of reference, is not its own dummy variable, as is clearly indicated by all other variables equal to 0.

Logistic regression mulitnomial then estimated a binary logistic regression model separately for each of these dummy variables. The result is M-1 binary> Logistic regression models. Each tells the effect of predictors on the probability of success in this category compared to the reference category. Each model has its own intercept and regression coefficients - the predictors may be of interest to each class may vary.

Why not just run a series of binary regression models? They could, and people were once, in multinomial regression models in the software away. You will probably get similar results. But it workstogether means that they simultaneously estimate the parameter estimates are more efficient means - there are fewer errors, unexplained.

Ordinal Logistic Regression: Proportional Odds Model

If the response categories are ordered, you could have a multinomial regression model. The disadvantage is that you throw away the information about the order. An ordinal logistic regression model retains this information, it is moreare involved.

In the proportional odds model, where the event is not modeled with a score in a single category, as in the binary and multinomial models. Rather, the event is modeled with a score in a particular category or all of the previous category.

For example, for a response variable with three ordered categories, the possible events, defined as:

* In Group 1
* In Group 2, or 1
* In Group 3, 2 or 1

In proportionalQuote model has its own intercept any results, but the same regression coefficients. This means:

1. the overall rate of all cases, be different, but according to the effect of predictors on the probability of an event in any other category, for each category. This is a hypothesis of the model, you need to check. It is often violated.

The model is a bit 'different than usual, written in SPSS, with a minus sign in all the intercepts and regressionCoefficients. This is a convention to ensure that lead to positive coefficients, the increase in X to an increased likelihood of a greater number of response values categories. In SAS, the character is a plus, and elevations of a predictor for increased risk of lead lower numbered response categories. Make sure you understand how the model in your statistics package before interpreting the results.

The trick with making floral arrangements for your reception and other areas is that you both need professional help or advice. Look in magazines, bridal and floral magazines is all well and good, but these are the images of non-budget scheme. You, on the other hand, can not necessarily spend your entire budget on flowers.

On the tables

At your reception, where most flowers. Each of these boards, and head The tables have a variety of ways to add color and style. And while in reality there is no rule for what agreements you have, will keep a few things in mind.

If the rules are so complicated that they are perceived as disturbing in a photo, you can review your plans. Again, a florist will help you with this type of> Logistical problems, especially at local level. Many know they will experience in a reception room, so do what you need.

And for your guests, though large floral arrangements can look great in the lobby, you must remember that it is sitting in one spot. Having larger floral arrangements blocking their view of the side of the table or on the dance floor or head table is not a very good together.

Think about it, if your guestsSit and what they see in this situation. They brought cameras to take pictures of themselves, so that will not obstruct their vision.

The ideas can be

When it comes to creating drama and yet realistic floral arrives, (no pun intended), the overall height of the matter. A more recent trend in floral arrangements to have big, think vases with a few stems of flowers in each, creating a larger bouquet at the top of the vessel. This looks like a gardenglobal perspective, while your guests the opportunity to talk to each other.

On the other hand, you can also choose floral arrangements that are below the table. Some couples like a combination of floating flowers and candles to add a little 'heat in a chart select. It also serves as a conversation piece as well.

RV Slide Outs


Image : http://www.flickr.com


RV Industry seller will tell you motor home, fifth wheel and trailer "slide outs" are the greatest invention in recent history for the RV industry. You may be right as slide outs provide a transformation in a camper.

I have four slides on my fifth wheel and I love them, but whenever there are positive attributes negative go with it. I must admit, the first multi-room slide out I saw a house covered 20-25 tax on large enginesent a shiver to the back. What a nightmare!

The nature of the systems themselves invites a wide variety of mechanical and electrical logistical challenges. I receive many questions on the slides, so here are some basics.

Slide mechanical drive systems - electric or hydraulic

Electric Motor Driven

Gear control electric motor drives a gear.


more used to film the smaller and lighter.


Work properly if they are not overloaded (from engineeringPosition and not in reality all are correct. realized)


Weaknesses of Electric Slide Outs

Engine / transmission can go wrong.


It can cut pen drive in main gear drive.


Motor overload (excessive amperage) drawn into the film caused by "broken" or "relay" to trip.


Hydraulic

used primarily on larger, heavier slides.


Can a motor-pump to supply more than one slide.


Mechanically complex than their electricalCounterparts.


Weaknesses of hydraulic systems

Possible failure of pump, valve or hydraulic line.


Hydraulic lines are particularly susceptible to wear, friction, heat, etc. can develop leaks or breaks in the same lines.


Design challenges of RV slide outs

It is hoped that units have enough to be concerned, but no luck. The physical move from one thousand to £ 2,000 room can be daunting


One thing thatSearch the vertical position of the slide that moves in and of itself. All slides move over to some kind of roller mounting on the outside, but the film should maintain its stability (with little tipping forward or backward) as it moves in and of itself. lack of stability can damage the soil and the films may affect the ability to seal.


Slide Out Seals

Imagine sitting at home in Engine $ 400,000, one afternoon, look up, and a bright ray of sunshine shot put in your enginehome. Immediately after the source of this real beam of light and almost flat mouth. They jump up and make a b-line for the top corner of the opposing slide, scan the area and are almost of a light ray of sunshine shooting from the seals go through the blind spot. It may seem strange, but I assure you that was not the owner, as he described it to me. Sealing slide outs is a big challenge - especially in the extended position. Chances are, if you wash you wash your engineHome, fifth wheel or trailer with slide out ... You can get water inside. Achieving a watertight seal around the whole movie can be one of the most challenging aspects in sealing today's slides.

The new and used campers, interested parties should carefully examine the top and side seals. You have to understand is to work as poetry, how it works and the prospect of how long it will continue to work years of use. If you are shaking the left, you probably have your head,Do not buy that RV.

In fact, the areas around the film, the open area of your camper, spare wheel or a trailer. Water, light, pests, insects, etc. can be obtained, if not properly sealed. Every owner, the RV has slides, should be aware of this problem I just mentioned.

Internal Audit - The ISO 9001 requirements for internal audits and reviews program


Image : http://www.flickr.com


"What a headache" - that is surely what every employee think to himself, when approaching the massage of an internal audit obtained. There is a reason. You know that is someone to poke their works ... The internal audit is contained in chapter 8.2 - Monitoring and measurement. It 'clear that the purpose of internal control to monitor and measure the lead organization. Internal audits, sometimes called the first part, are conducted by or onName of your organization for internal purposes and may provide the basis for an organization of self-declaration form. The organization must conduct the tests on time to ensure that the Quality Management System:


Managed by ISO 9001
Managed by the needs of a society and audit requirements

What are the criteria for a test? Set of policies, procedures or requirementsa reference.

We believe that the end of the day of the internal control that an internal audit that the organization does. Within the organizational structure, it is difficult for top management to see what's going down the organization. It is not enough to step in production warehouses, distribution centers or service centers and see the staff or goods on the shelves. It 'should monitor the processes and see if they holdbased on predefined criteria. Only high resolution sampling can be done with the real organization of the state. What are the criteria? The ISO 9001 requirements, operating procedures, plans, objectives - the characteristics of the system of quality management.

As internal audit is a very serious and wide, there are all part of one article. This article uses the ISO 9001 for the maintenance of the internal control system with FireReference to ISO 19011 - a guide for standard quality or environmental testing. The standard was published in 2002 and subsequent guidance outlines for the conduct of audits, but also point to the auditor of skills and activities. Unfortunately, the ISO 9001 standard specifies the requirements, but not as we are led to an effective test - one that would cover not only the requirements but also help lead the organization. We use this address in another article(We can not all the secrets in a single article. Sorry. Corporate Policy).

The requirements of ISO 9001 for internal audit audit procedure interanl

ISO 9001 requires to maintain a documented procedure for describing the procedure for conducting an internal audit process. This is not a recommendation but an obligation. The documented procedure must define:


If you must carry out the review - the responsibility for implementing the internal audit process.
What are the organizational units within the scope - Departments, the specific processes, activities, attractions, function, etc.
Description of the process - who met with whom and where and what to bring to all.
The monitoring of internal audit (not upset, we go in detail soon). When the examination of evidence should be documented.

It 'can add an attachment to the evaluation of the plan and all types of forms and documents relating toProcess.

The Auditor

The auditor must be objective in the context of the organizational unit is auditing. This is a difficult thing to achieve if the quality manager is the auditor. It is part of the organization. He will always carry out an audit, its smoke colleagues (who sits and eats with lunch, drink coffee or a cigarette). In addition, consultants for monitoring and documenting the situation properly qualified. Remember, a test is an emotionalEvents where employees are tested on the quality of their services. The examination of the strategy is very important to review progress. In addition to his personal approach, the examination must have a minimum knowledge with the field to assess the processes and quality, which is working procedures (the criteria documented). These types of knowledge and relate to their ability to assess the situation, while he identified any irregularities or errors.As part of ISO 19011 is a specific quality is required for the auditor:


Ethics - credibility, integrity and honesty.
Open Minded - is ready to listen, learn and accept new ideas.
Diplomatic - manners high his colleagues - after all he has to work with people and he is the representative of top management.
Observer - has the ability to recognize what he sees and understands, without questioning.
Perspective - has the ability to assessSituations in appearance, with a broad systematic view of things - has the ability to understand the organizational consequences of his statement.
versatile functions - the ability to mobilize from one situation to another, without direction.
Persistence - has its own goals with perseverance and not be distracted.
Decisive - ready to take the decision
Independent - has its own vision of things and are not influenced by the environment.

We recommend ainfinite patience. During the audit, people would have everything (but everything to divert) the auditor of the subject, try all sorts of reasons: they want to hide their activities, they are afraid or just not like when other people through their moves. The investigator must always remain patient and wait for his question answered. In most cases the customer to respond to completely different answers. At some point things go hand in arguments and disputes. The auditor must remaincold, patience - it was said, be "business as usual" - the test should make it clear, the test is not performed for all subjects, but a decision by top management. The auditors must have a target - with the leaders of the real state of the organization. Can not be on schedule, and interested. This is only a tool and not the destination.

Audit program

The organization should maintain a documented plan for conducting the tests. The program9001 must be documented according to ISO. This is not a recommendation but a requirement! The purpose of this program is to ensure that the tests be carried out as planned. So first, you need a program. The ISO 9001 standard requires the implementation of the tests and the final deadline. This ensures that employees knew that the test is part of the quality management system and not an arbitrary decision is currently the top management. Thisrecommended publishing the lists of control. And for the "Surprise checks - you must not set time to publish easily. The testing program must include:


quality plans for products - for any request for product manufacturing, you should consider running as expected. The best way is to try. Select the product you require to plan their quality and whether the product was made according to the plan. Document the results then.
The ISO 9001 requirementsRequirements including documentation (customer complaints, purchasing information, CAPA, training, etc.). The investigation must have all organizational units that are linked to the achievement of product or group carried out the quality scale. Each unit must be tested at least once a year.
Evaluate processes and procedures - the audit and whether the processes that are related to product manufacturing will be done as required. It might be a correlation with the qualityFloors. But usually a sample to test and evaluate their performance.
Quality Objectives - The audit must examine whether the organization in achieving its quality objectives. It evaluates the objectives - be they related to the product, and assess the results. Where has shown that the targets are reached - will be presented with reasons and measures.

It is not easy for an auditor. There are so simple, they say, without some of the aboveto help.

Audit evidence and results

After the audit, the auditor must provide a separate report on the audit evidence and results. The report must include:


Who were the participants - you should document who participated in the test. The aim is that top management would do its investigation - would know who to approach.
The head - the organization or unit, were examined.
to illuminate General Detailson the basis of verified: How many employees, special projects, specific recent events - information that would be the test.
Check reference to prior investigation and findings before - the examiner must ensure that all defects that during the last tests were found, the treatment was documented and removed, especially, they are not repeated.
Evidence based on test results - that what the auditors discovered and, as it indicates the criteria: good, requiresImprovement requires action or corrective measures (in this article, we would not address the classification of results). In fact, this is the most important part of the report. It defines what the examiner saw and how it was. The investigator should document the test as accurately as possible.
Recommendations - to a determination of the audit may be paid his recommendation.

A sum of all deficiencies identified during the examination - the aim is for this reason: to collect all deficiencies fortop management review to monitor the corrective action for the next audit This amount will be a report of corrective action - but that's another topic. Remember - This report is for top management and the role, responsibility for the organization being called. This report is a tool for him to understand the state. It is therefore recommended that the report would be in a format that is easy to understand for him.

Summary


The purpose of the review is tothat the Quality Management System according to ISO 9001 and the proper maintenance, are required.
You are required to maintain a procedure that specifies the internal review process.
The examiner has a great responsibility. Therefore, he must have a vision for the environment and control, have the ability to evaluate and test, have a broad view of things.
The examiner must politely with high morals, be patient and persistent. The test isto meet an easy task. The organization must maintain an audit program. The purpose of the program is to ensure that the tests be carried out as planned.
After the audit, the auditor must submit a specific report on our audit. This report is the function that is called for the head.

The Basics of Supply Chain Metrics


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Managing the supply chain is an essential element in any corporate environment. This is because, if you can manage your supply chain efficiently, you can enjoy many benefits, as opposed to the strong competition in your business. What's more, effective management of supply chains can improve customer satisfaction, because the process provides prompt delivery and quality products to our customers. So it is very important to ensure that all aspects of supply chainin order. The only way to do this is to implement supply chain metrics.

Technological advances have certainly done, especially with the introduction of RFID tags to pay. These tags are used to monitor effectively and pallet shipments electronically. Moreover, with the help of RFID tags is the management system of two tiers of stock and made more efficient. These tags make it very easy to track individual items in only part of the supply chain. The data are alsoefficient, especially when it relates to serial codes, quantity, description, and maintains information about the product. When you combine the data with information from RFID, you can get the barcodes, then you have a lot of information on hand. It is possible that this is a good thing when it comes to developing supply chain metrics, but in reality it is not. After all these data and information will only add to the external variables in the equation. In this case it would be difficultmeasure exactly what you want to measure first. This can give very good information overload for managers, which should be avoided because the managers have already addressed a lot to get started. Bombarded with all these data would only complicate things. Remember that less is more if you dive in the area of metrics. This, according to the Pareto principle, which states that 80% of the benefits you enjoy from each process are actuallyonly 20% of the whole. It 'so important to determine the appropriate metrics to use when measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the supply chain.

You can only hold up score cards at 20-30 metric to hear in a moment. Yes, that is, in many companies, often in the world. The sad thing is that most of these companies do not know that the main reason, why are not the parameters of their supply chain, meet the real purposeconsist, first, because there are too many in number. With this many parameters, you can easily find the interpretation of a specific metric to go against that of another parameter.

After just the essentials for your supply chain metrics will certainly go a long, long way for you. If you're not entirely sure what you should include in particular Metrics are concerns. There are several websites that quality information that can be used to offer. There are also modelsYou can use. Make sure only the measured data, which are really interested in your business.

Business strategies of survival - today until 2012

I was more than a year with many difficulties that the decline of the global economy we will be visiting for the deterioration of the global recession (spoken, the name I have never had a "vacuum", as that term has become politically incorrect). Yet now I'm more of a small number of deluded souls their eyes at me as if I were an alarming - Castle Douglas ... not long enough to know that this is a temporary slowdown had lived?Give it a couple of months, and things 'pick up'. 'Well, no, and I do not believe it until sometime in 2012.

Note this: what is not a victim of legal, tax, accounting, financial or investment. It 's just my humble opinion, brought to your attention.

This recession is different. We are witnessing the collapse of the credit-fed, overworked, economy. Too much credit, too creative accounting and too inefficient systemare negative, as the Raven in the famous poem by Edgar Allan Poe's tragic loss and lament. Has a delay, but the day of reckoning has come inevitable. I could say: "I told you so" when I have more like my dear mother (who shall remain nameless were here, as I try to be a good son), but I will not. Here we all are.

But as the doors are decimated labor markets and traditional credit through the anxiety of the leaders, are the opportunities arise. I want this to be discussed.Smiling and shaking his head and not just allowed but encouraged.

think this is the way to do, places and things:

Eve-Online - Epic Farmer Battle *HD*

*Read info below !* This was from around Christmas 2008, some Chinese farmers formed up a corp to take on UCAM in Motsu. My corp didn't have a live war dec at the time of the battle so we had to remote rep and wait for return fire before we could shoot anything (thats why im not shooting, have to wait until they are red). They have all since been confirmed by CCP and banned. Too bad, they put up a good fight. First round goes to the farmers. Second round our logistics pulled through and won the battle. Remote repping madness on both sides can be seen. This battle was originally shown in a video called Farmer Xmas Party along with some other action but it was 12 minutes long. I did a little directors cut version of the big battle to fit it on YouTube.
