Not since the mid-nineties when enterprises as diverse as Amazon, Cemex, Cisco Systems, Dell Computers and Zara started to create dominant competitive positions, build huge market capitalisations and delight their shareholders through the brilliant management of their supply chains. No, supply chain management has become a hot topic in boardrooms worldwide. The case histories of Internet retailer, Amazon; web systems builder, Cisco; PC giant, Dell; and Spanish fashion retailer, Zara are well documented. But Cemex, a Mexican cement supplier? Well, you don’t need to be in hi-tech or high fashion to reap the benefits of supply chain excellence. The effects can be just as dramatic for a commodity supplier. As a result of its supply chain performance improvement efforts, Cemex enjoys the highest value-to-sales ratio of the world’s six largest cement manufacturers. These enterprises represent just the tip of the iceberg. More than one study indicates that superior performing supply chains increase free cash flows – the key driver of shareholder value – by up to 20% on average. Supply chain excellence is a crucial engine of economic growth. And yet, even though it represents...

...Hurricane Katrina evacuees who sought shelter in the Complex. Herein, we designate the scope of this medical response, citing our major challenges, triumphs, and recommendations for conducting similar efforts in the future. The majority of patients who required more critical care, including hospital admission, were referred for further evaluation to publicly funded hospitals within the Harris County Hospital District, specifically, Ben Taub General Hospital and Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital several times a day to reassess operations and accommodate the fluid situation. As we seek lessons from the evacuation of Hurricane Katrina, it is imperative that communications and disaster plans account for the specific obstacles run into by urban, minority communities. There work provides an opportunity to listen to the voices of the evacuees themselves. These voices lead us to believe that removing the obstacles of shelter and transportation will be insufficient to ensure safety in future disasters. Policies must additionally address the important influence of extended families and social networks through better community-based communication and preparation strategies. By September 4, nearly 500 evacuees had been flown to Illinois, and over the following two weeks more than 6000 evacuated individuals were estimated to have arrived on their own, most inhabiting in the Chicago area. In response, the city of Chicago work together with the American Red Cross, the United Way, and the Salvation Army...

Some people are actually repulsed by the idea of working for someone else. they object to a system where rewards are often based than acomplishment. other people decide to become enterpreneurs because they are disillusioned by the politics involved in getting ahead in an established profession, some are tired of trying to promote a product, service or way of doing business that is outside the main operations of a large company. in contrast, some people are attracted to...

...strategy implemented from a customized action plan, that supports companies on having a vision with all methods and systems from supply chain to human resources. Operational effectiveness is defined on how effective the resources are being applied to the operation. Operational effectiveness refers to any number of practices that allow an organization to better utilize its inputs (Ewyk, 2003). OE combined with a strategy is a path to superior performance. Operations strategy looks at the long-term issues of how to manage the resources which produce products and services. Operation strategy and operational effectiveness must be clearly distinguished from each other however. Operations strategy is a functional policy that is overseen by decisions taken at the top of the organizational tree. Operations strategy binds the various operations decisions and actions into a cohesive consistent response to competitive forces by linking firm policies, programs, systems, and actions into a systematic response to the competitive priorities chosen and communicated by the corporate or business strategy (Operations Strategy, 2011). Operational sustainability is the ability of a business to meet the operational objectives over extended periods of time. A sustainable strategy that meets the needs of shareholders and employees, and preserves the environment...

...Summary Chapter 4 gives me an overview of basic company operations on a fire ground. It shows a "big picture" view of a typical fire and discusses, in greater detail, the functions of engine and ladder companies. Specialized companies like rescue squads, quints/quads, and ems are mentioned, but are not the chapter's focus. I was introduced to the chapter with an Industrial Revolution "division of labor" philosophy: individuals with different specialized skills are more productive. SPFD uses many of the same operational guidelines, including the NIMS approach to operations, and overall safety. Engine companies are the most common, first-in, basic companies on the fire ground. They pump, attack the fire, and perform rescues as necessary. As the first company in the building, they have to balance fire attack operations with immediate rescue operations. Making the decision is based on time, resources, and if anyone can actually be rescued. SPFD is no different. Our decision-making is, however, based on the likelihood of more companies arriving within minutes. Our typical response is 3 engines, a ladder, and a rescue sqaud. Ladder companies are responsible for ventilation, search & rescue, and providing additional means of egress. They are able to split into 2-person teams to accomplish the many tasks they may be assigned. They need to be aware of ventilation needs, proper positioning to accomplish their operations, and know where the different exits are. SPFD typically...

...manage hazards in an effort to avoid or ameliorate its impact. A supply chain, or supply network is a coordinated system of organizations, people, activities, information and resources involved in moving a product or service in physical or virtual manner from supplier to customer. Customers in this case are people facing the crisis. They formed the focus of the entire supply chain development. Over the past few years, the natural disasters floods, hurricanes etc have highlighted the low levels of disaster preparedness and inability of the hospitals and relief organizations to respond effectively. The quick response of relief organizations in the early stages of disaster can lower its impacts afterwards, avoiding severe loss of human lives and physical assets. This necessitates forming Supply Chain Strategy as a major component of Disaster Management Plan (DMP). Only a quick response and operationally effective supply chain can successfully put a Disaster Management Plan in action. The paper proposes a decision process for establishing an effective Supply Chain which...

...SPECIAL TOPICS Special Topics:Resilient Packet Ring Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) - a Flexible Data Access Technology for Metropolitan Area Networks Steven S. Gorshe Principal Engineer - PMC-Sierra, Inc. steve_gorshe@pmc-sierra.com ABSTRACT IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a promising new technology that was standardized to meet the needs of telecommunications network providers and enterprise data networks. RPR allows substantial reuse of the valuable existing telecommunications infrastructure, while also allowing a greatly simplified means of aggregating packetized data from many customers into the provider’s access and metro networks. The RPR fairness protocol and algorithm insures fair medium access among an RPR’s users. RPR also provides the high reliability that has become increasingly important for enterprise network users. This paper reviews the key aspects of RPR, including medium access control and its fairness mechanism, physical layer options, protection/restoration options, and bridging and routing within and across an RPR. INTRODUCTION The increasing importance and bandwidth demands of enterprise networks in the 1990s generated the desire for a new metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN) protocol. From a data network perspective, the existing protocols lacked a fast, simple Layer 1 mechanism to recover from network faults. From a telecommunications network perspective, it was critical to have a network access technique...

...In the modern era of globalization, extended production runs, big backlogs and long lead times are fast becoming operating styles of the past. Flexibility and quick response should become standards. The driving force behind this need is customers who will expect short lead times for products and want their quick delivery. The trend of quick-response, no-excuses delivery has put many manufacturers in the uncomfortable position of having to conform or lose business to a competitor who has developed short cycle time capabilities. Industries are adopting new tools and techniques to produce goods to compete and survive in the market. The most daunting issue faced by manufacturers today is how to deliver their products or materials quickly at low...

...periodic review does not meet with the agreement made for the 2012 audit findings/recommendations. However, the HMOD and the Company commander do conduct a review of the crew roster during the sailing order publication process, which can be a period greater than 30 days or more between sail. Secondly, as noted earlier there is the potential for extended periods (greater than 30 days) of no reviews of crew rosters due to the long periods between underway operations. Under current procedures, the Company Commander will review crew rosters a minimum of 7 days prior to the vessel conducting underway operations. Effectively there could be periods greater than 30 or 90 days of no reviews by the HMOD and 545 Commander unless the vessel has an underway...
