Off late, warehouse management system deployments have gained good pace and all ERP and SCM products companies have started investing into their solutions to fine tune to map to industry specific solutions. It has been a proven fact now that this is one of those controllable areas which can really make an impact in improving supply chain of organizations. When it comes to taking the necessary steps to create a more flexible and agile warehouse that can adapt and change to the ebb and flow of the market conditions, the goal is to ultimately minimize the time product or inventory stays in your warehouse - ultimately creating a near real-time inbound / outbound activity that matches all inventory to...
In some instances the company's management is to blame when it comes to fraud cases. As much as the management takes decisive steps to prevent fraud, they are the ones that propel their juniors to commit these acts. This they do unawares by not considering that the people they are managing are also human. In this article I will dwell on how to manage the accounting department for here is where fraud instigates. One area that the management should avoid is exerting pressure on accounting staff to complete their work in unusually short periods of time in the name of controlling fraud. Putting pressure on accounting staff to take a short time to perform their duties will simply lead to manipulation of...

Defining Supply Chain Management
Companies that deal with inventory will have to have some sort of system in place to effectively manage the supply chain that exists for any type of sales. A system of inventory needs to be as smooth running as possible so that a company is able to fulfill all its orders in a timely manner. If there is a shortage of inventory, sales fulfillment will fall behind and the company is in danger of losing both its reputation and credibility. More and more companies are using some type of supply chain management to keep track of what inventory they have, what is allotted for current sales invoices, what product has been ordered from the supplier, and what inventory is already on route from the supplier...

How Can Business Process Mapping Help You?
Effective business process mapping can be one of the most important and useful tools that you have in your pre-sales arsenal. The reason for this simple, yet it is often overlooked by many managers. The purpose of business process mapping is to allow you to identify the most crucial issues and answers that your buying client needs in order to make a solid buying decision. When your sales force meets with the client they are often faced with questions that they cannot answer. This is due primarily to a lack of advance knowledge. But it does not have to be this way. If you had a reliable tool to use that could show you, in advance, the possible questions and objections that your buying client might...
Finding the Best Business Process Integration Solutions for You The main idea behind the integration of businesses processes is to ensure quality communication of data and processes between the various departments within an organisation. Having a system that is not able to ‘talk' or work with other areas efficiently makes it much harder to compete in the market against businesses that do. Information silos outside the system delays the development of expansion and the success of the business. What would happen if you have projected millions in sales for the current year, only to find out that you barely made it to fifty percent because of accountings unrecorded figures and receipts?

How to Effectively Implement a New Business...
Sometimes when running a company, there comes a time when you need to change tactics in order to improve your business operations. It is normally not easy to change but it can be achieved. Change of business strategy does not necessarily mean change of management though sometimes you may be called to bring in new blood to ensure the change is implemented effectively. To effectively change strategy, the management must work towards implementing the new policies and avoid going back to the old ones. This applies mostly to the CEO or the top managers; if the top management is not adhering to the new business strategies the juniors will definitely find it hard to adapt. The managers need to be trained...

How to Achieve Excellence in Business...
The best time to gain experience in business management is when you make mistakes. But this should not be an excuse to keep repeating them. Once a mistake has occurred, mangers and business owners need to learn from it and thus become better business administrators and ensure proper business operations. I think it is the high time things changed in the way we run our companies. Having a board of directors is a noble thing but the sad part is that some of the members are not qualified to seat in such management boards. I believe that a management board should be composed of highly qualified and high performing individuals. In addition, these members should have no inclination to certain names or fall...
Lower Supply Chain Costs With Outsourced Pallet...
Outsourced pallet management may be the answer for logistics managers, warehouse supervisors and other workers in supply chain management who are faced with the daunting task of lowering costs. The use of pallets is prevalent in all aspects of the supply chain and therefore, is an obvious area where costs can be reduced. Pallets were once viewed as the wooden crate platforms in which large volumes of goods are stored and secured for easy transportation. However, thanks to the technological revolution, warehouses have become more automated, creating more sophisticated needs in terms of not only how many pallets you need but also the type, how to get them back from the customer and how many you can...

So hang on to your hats people - here's what we saw in the distribution market space this year and our predictions for 2010. Naturally cutting inventory was also a direct result of reduced demand that impacted the whole supply chain - clients weren't purchasing. Outlets consolidated their offerings, squeezing out many of their providers. Now that retail inventories are so low after the holiday season there are less'After-Xmas...

At its core, supply chain management is the oversight of materials, information and finances and the coordination and integration of flow within and among companies. While a relatively new and still somewhat unsophisticated concept within the construction industry, the process was formalized in the 1980s and has been entrenched in the manufacturing sector for nearly three decades. Perhaps the best way to illustrate the need for Construction Supply Chain Management (CSCM) is to first cite an example of an especially messy project aftermath. The result is an epic battle between MGM Properties and Dubai World, the owners of the new CityCenter in Las Vegas, NV; and Perini Building Company, the primary...

Business management theories are all around us. Just go to any book store and you will see all of the latest and greatest theories out there. Many of these books are correct, and their theories did work. But it was more because of the people that worked for them, or because of the company they worked for in general. We do not always have the power just to go in and start implementing a new theory. But, we are afforded the opportunity to change things when we actually know what we are looking for. This is where Lean Manufacturing comes in. Now, I know, some of you may be reading this thinking you are not working in manufacturing or even production, so how can this apply to you.

The ISO 9000 series of standards relate to Quality Management Systems however as businesses will tend to have one system, formalizing the system to focus solely on quality will have no real benefits to your business. Therefore, it will be necessary to move away from a system focusing wholly on quality, to a system that focuses on all the characteristics of your business.

To determine what seems to be causing issues with the order-cycles in every business establishment involved with marketing goods-perishable or non-perishable-it is important for transportation analysis to be conducted. This study aims to measure associated costs to the freight business that hampers the delivery of stocks. In many major industries, the most common problem that shoos customers away is the absence of the product itself-commonly referred to as out of stock. This happens because freight and cargo are facing several barriers and roadblocks-pun unintended-that keep them from distributing goods in a timely manner. In the United States, there are several groups dedicated to this kind of...

And having been around since the beginning when man engaged man, I can tell you, I am very much alive and for some even thriving. In a recent Wall Street Journal online article, strategy as many know it was declared dead by a top consulting company recognized for its business guru expertise. Of course I do not have their billions dollars in billing, but maybe the recent decline in their revenues is why they are calling for and promoting my death. Part of the reason for these premature announcements of my death is because all of these so called top consulting experts have...

"> One of the challenges of working in China is the national holiday system and coordinating a work schedule with your customers around national holidays. The three main national holidays are the Chinese New Year (also called the Lunar New Year), May Holiday and National Day in October. Unlike many western factories, where the holiday schedules are staggered to maintain operations, holidays in China mean something else: Factories often close completely to allow workers to go home to be with their families. Combine that with the fact that most European and American holidays do not overlap with Chinese holidays and you have a situation where production schedule management is critical on both sides. If...
Hope is Not a Business Strategy
A record $90 million lottery has been announced for this week. Half the nation are buying tickets. Even my normally very sensible wife has asked me to buy a ticket, against my better judgement (although that is not the first time I have felt I have had to acquiesce to such things in the name of harmony at home, and I am sure it won't be the last). As someone who regards themselves as having good analytic skills, I find lotteries are an affront to commonsense. The only way they are commercially sustainable is that everyone on average loses. However with the odd ticket in a major jackpot and our annual flutter on the Melbourne Cup this is just a bit of fun for us. It is not our financial strategy. We...

Seeking High Profitability? Focus on Your...
In order to have high profitability, it is necessary to differentiate yourself as well as what resources utilize that allow the organization to operate at lower costs. The challenge for today's business managers is to assess and choose business strategies based on core competencies and value chain activities that sustain both types of competitive advantage simultaneously. A strategy consists of defining the different ways an organization can reach its objectives. A strategy is basically comprised of the following aspects: (1) how the organization intends to compete, that is, how it will create a competitive advantage, (2) how the various people or departments within the company will contribute to...
A Strategy is Different From a Plan The word "strategy" is over-used and its meaning has become diluted. It is often used synonymously - and mistakenly - with the word "plan". Let's clear this up. A plan is a Sargent-major. It tells you precisely what you should do. "Take three men, your rifles and grenades, and start climbing this hill from the southwest corner. Continue straight up the hill until you reach the top where you will plant this flag." What happens if we're outnumbered? What happens if we meet enemy machine guns en route? A plan can't answer. Strategy provides an overall objective but doesn't tell you exactly how to accomplish it. Strategy is the wise counselor who stands by your side...
Due to the global financial situation, some business owners may be thinking that they should diversify from their current income streams. This is opposed to selling out. When you diversify, you keep your current business running (perhaps in an altered state) and commence a new line of products or services. Is this a good idea? Diversification can sound like a good idea but it does need to be thought through carefully. Really, diversifying into another business line should be treated like commencing a new undertaking from the start. However, you may have some existing infrastructure and personnel that will assist you. Nevertheless, I think it is a good idea to approach the idea as if you were...
Business Strategy vs Tactics
When it comes to running your own business, everyone seems to have a plan to make you successful. You can read and study and even mimic the greats but that doesn't necessarily mean you will succeed. To really rock the business world, you need both strategy and tactics that work and you need them to work effectively together. This is where many people in business fail because they miss one or both parts of this equation. A better understanding of strategy and tactics as well as how they work together will help you prepare properly for your business. Your strategy is the plan of action you want to take to achieve success in your business. Your business tactics are the specific steps you take to...
Why Preventing Work Place Accidents is a Sound...
The cost of a lost time accident varies from country to country and from state to state. Even so, there are common areas of loss. Some of them are visible and easy to measure, on the other hand some of them are invisible and can only be estimated. There is one constant that cannot be ignored. It is almost impossible to measure but represents what is the greatest loss of all. It is the loss to the victim of the accident. They tend to suffer the biggest loss and are probably the people who can least afford it, financially or emotionally. It makes good business sense to prevent accident in the work place. Immediate visible losses created by workplace accidents - When a business repeatedly claims...
Promotional Items As a Subtle Business Strategy
Look around you and try to find the most visible brand name or logo that you can read. Have you done that? If you have, then recognize that the brand that you just read or the logo that you just saw has already achieved a high level of market recognition. In fact, it will continue to have a hold on the market because of that subtly placed brand name and logo. In today's world, brand advertising plays a large part in the commercial success of any business. If you are a start-up company or even if you are well established, the sooner you realize the value of subtle promotions for your products the better. Product placement need not be expensive, because you can increase the visibility of your products...
