Kevin Tedford recently pointed out some of the limitations of a WMS suggesting, “Many warehouse management systems communicate with material handling equipment such as Pick-to-Light (PTL), conveyors, A-Frame, Print and Apply, etc. In most cases, the WMS is interfaced directly to those pieces of equipment. The limitation of the WMS is that it doesn’t link all of those areas of automation together. The WMS can download data to the PTL or A-Frames, telling them what picks are required from that area, but it lacks the ability to orchestrate the flow of material through the warehouse. It is safe to say that anyone that’s been in a high volume facility understands that the ebb and flow of material...

The key to understanding what to plan for in operations is to recognize that wholesalers survive by providing services to enterprises which cannot be as well provided by anyone else.

I am a believer in direct mail. In the past I have built two conventional businesses using direct mail as a vital component of my marketing mix. My first major foray into this medium was with a tour and travel business that I founded and operated for 18 years. Our mailers exceeded a million pieces annually. Over the past 16 years, I started and ran a business-to-business direct mail company having local, niche market direct mailers in major Northeast, Central and Western states. Why I tell you this is to give you an understanding that when it comes to this form of advertising, I have extensive experience in the field. And the conclusion I have come to realize is that it is extremely expensive...

sive may be defined as glue like item which will help in bonding different items together. A water based adhesive can also be given a similar definition except for it uses the water as the base. An adhesive primarily has a carrier fluid. In water based adhesives, water is used as the carrier fluid and the adhesive particles are found hanging in the water. The presence of the adhesive particles in water will reduce the viscosity of the adhesive. This reduction in the viscosity helps it to be applied to various bases which have varying thickness. Water based adhesives have come into use from the year 1970 onwards. They are made out of rubber compounds with various additives such as the hydrocarbons...

Paper labels have been used to identify products since the early 1880s and spawned its own artistic profession ? the art of the...

Wire and cable do not generally come with all the modifications needed for a specific application. For example, your application could call for wire with ink-jet printing for easy identification during installation and usage. Similarly, you may want your wires dyed various colors for prompt circuit identification. This is where value-added manufacturers take over. Several manufacturers supply distributors, wire harness manufacturers, and OEMs with value-added services for wire and cable products. A value-added service indicates a customization on an order that goes beyond a basic or core service. In other words, it benefits the end user by “adding value” to the standard service offered. In the...

customers we have become accustomed to the way large retail stores track the different goods they have on hand and we now expect them to provide us with up to date information on the products they have in stock. This requires a sophisticated inventory control system using barcodes and barcode scanners. Compare this situation with a more conventional small business in which, for whatever reasons, such a modern inventory control system does not exist. This could be due to the fact that a small business may not have enough product diversity to require this type of system. Or it could be that the business owners are simply unaware of the major advancements inventory control systems have made in recent...
