...Slide 7: Asset Based 3PL An asset based service holds many supply chain management "assets". These assets may include anything that is pertaining with supply chain management, including technology systems, truck fleets, vehicles, aircraft, warehouses, warehousing equipment, forklifts etc. As you can see you would be restricted to using the assets that this third party logistics company suggests. There is no doubt you will be better off then before, but here is the real question to ask yourself: How do I ultimately know I am getting the best value available out there? Can you also see how this conflict of interests could pose a problem when it comes to handling claims resolution if they are using their own trucks and equipment. Pretend for a moment that if you had a claim on damaged freight, would you feel at ease with the idea that your claim would be handled in the shortest time and reimbursed for the highest value possible? Slide: 7 Non Asset Based 3PL This 3PL performs all of the services of a third party logistics service such as quoting freight, scheduling pickups and deliveries, routing, and auditing, but doesn't need to own all of the transportation assets that an asset based 3PL would own. Instead, this type of 3PL usually possesses only desks, computers, and freight industry expertise. Now you can see why they are referred to as "transportation consultants". Now this is an important point to dwell on, since a non asset based 3pl is not restricted to using any particular...

...America can mention the most common and well-known political parties; Democrats and Republicans. But, people don’t know much about the third parties. Examples of third parties are the Know Nothing Party, Southern Democrats, Liberal Republicans, Populists, Bull Moose, Progressives, States Rights, American Independence Party, Independent/Reform Party, Green Party. These parties had a significant impact in American history because they took out votes from the Republicans and Democrats as well as they had radical changes and idealisms to the American government. In the 1840s many immigrants came to America. The Irishmen settled on the Eastern seaboard and the Germans moved out to the farmlands in the Midwest. The majority of these...

...Third parties in the United States do not win, but they tend to keep elections interesting. Although third parties bring in votes for themselves, a majority of them have extreme views on issues. These types of views cannot put a party at the top of a nation that mainly consists of moderate individuals. America has one of the most advanced democracies and as a result has developed the two party system. The reason why a two-party system overpowers a three-party system is because, ideally, the constitution only has two sides to it, the opposing and the supporting. There are numerous third parties, the most successful one being the Libertarian party. While the United States is largely a two party system, third parties have been around for hundreds...

...Geoffrey Giles Debt collection through the use of a third party as is the case in this article is explained to be quite beneficial with the advantages out weighing the disadvantages by a notable margin. Rather than waiting or trying to collect the debt themselves or performing an “In House” debt collection, these third party entities are able to go out and promptly recover the debt from these anonymous parties, thus eliminating or at the very least narrowing the possibility of higher consumer prices and borrowing costs, all the while relieving stress on the government as well, since all these uncollected taxes, fines and debts put a notably significant strain on the government budget as a whole. Though unfortunately it doesn’t quite end there, as these events ricochet towards business failures and even further job loss. Businesses both large and small will reap the benefits on gathering all these previously uncollected debts, as they will see their bad debt cost kept down, thus reducing their respective risk of financial insolvency and ultimately bankruptcy. And all of this is to say nothing of these third party agencies providing employment themselves, in the sum of roughly one hundred and thirty thousand jobs, and indirectly supports the employment of thousands upon thousands more through their actions. While some would argue that they are richly compensated for their actions, the advantages of using these third party debt collectors. Of the incredibly significant fifty five...

...comfortable with many of the terms and the processing of insurance, I felt more comfortable discussing issues with customers who had questions. However, I still noticed that I struggled with insurance rejections and how to fix them in the Lewis system. I decided that learning the ropes of insurance rejections is something that comes with experience and practice. Although many of concepts of third party billing are taught during pharmacy school, it seems like they are only addressed in quick lectures that don’t require much critical thinking. An option to improve this deficit would be to address the information early and often. Repetition is one of the best ways for me to commit knowledge to long-term memory. I vaguely remember one or two labs in pharmacy practice where we practiced filling a prescription and billing it through a fake third party. If this lab was repeated more often with different kinds of rejections that are common in a community pharmacy, I think that would greatly help improve comprehension. Moving forward, I hope that with more practice I will gain a greater understanding of third party billing. I plan to discuss with my preceptor or fellow coworkers any questions that arise during my rotations and throughout my...

...Third Party Conflict Resolution January 17, 2013 Third Party Conflict Resolution In the negotiation process, the use of third-party conflict resolutions often comes into play when parties cannot seem to reach an agreement regarding resolving mutual interests. These types of third-party conflict resolutions are: arbitration, collaboration, litigation and mediation. For the Seatcor Manufacturing Company, the use of third-party conflict resolution is necessary. The researchers of Team A have reported collaborative ideas of this case by (1) analyzing the possible intervention strategies, (2) applying what is thought to be the best strategy, (3) explained how the best strategy should resolve the conflict, and (4) developed a contingency plan in case the best strategy does not work, or is rejected. Intervention strategies Possible intervention strategies include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, collaboration and hybrids. Two types of hybrid intervention strategies are mediation – arbitration and arbitration-mediation. • Negotiation - There are four elements to the negotiation process, which include managing interdependence, engaging in mutual adjustment, creating or claiming value, and managing conflict. Negotiations consist of two or more parties be that individuals, groups, or organizations. A conflict of needs and desires exist between parties and the parties chose to negotiate. Parties expect a “give and take” process that is fundamental...

...“Ruger Clinic” Healthcare Finance – HSA525: An Introduction to Accounting and Financial Management May 1, 2011 Instructor Feedback Grade: 320 out of 320; Comments: Hi, Excellent job on the Ruger Clinic assignment. Abstract This paper discusses the following topics: value of the cost pool; The Housekeeping Service department of Ruger Clinic scenario; cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis; capitation rates: fee-for-service approach; cost approach, and demographic approach, and conventional versus zero-based budgeting. Key words: cost pool value, cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis; capitation rates: fee-for-service; cost, and demographic approaches, and conventional versus zero-based budgeting. Ruger Clinic 1. What is the value of the cost pool? A cost pool is “a grouping of costs that must be allocated” (Gapenski, pg 165) but “it may be beneficial to separate the costs of that support department into multiple pools” (Gapenski, pg 166) if services of the support department differ substantially. For our scenario the value of the cost pool is $100,000 in direct total costs of the Housekeeping Services department. 2. What is the allocation rate if: a) Patient services revenue is used as the cost driver? The formula for the allocation rate when patient services is used as the cost driver looks like this: Patient Services Revenue: $100,000 (direct costs) / $ 5,000,000 (patient revenue) = $0.02 per revenue dollar (allocation...

...Are third parties doomed to failure in the USA? The success of third parties within the US can strongly be argued, in that they are ’doomed to failure’, in particular through recent years. This can be explained due to the vast sum in financial demands in which third parties cannot meet due to the inability to gain credible reconciliation to obtain huge sums of funds, and thus continue to live in the shadow of the Republicans and Democrats; two growing leading parties. Also, other factors like state legislation which encourage third party barriers, such as evidently shown in New York were for a party to be placed on the ballot paper it must reach a certain number of signatures. Through the electoral system of FPTP encouraging a two party system, and the two leading parties being seen as ’umbrella parties’ in which there is little room for a third party to offer an ideological stance on policies which has not already been covered. Means it is highly unlikely for a third party to succeed as evidently shown within the debates in 2000 with Gore verses Nader, where straight ticket voting also contributes to the third party failures. However, third parties must be credited in that it has proven to be worthy of success, like in 1996 where Jess Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota. Third parties are largely disadvantaged and doomed to fail due to their inability to raise a substantial amount of funds or ‘war chest’. this is firstly, simply down to the matter of third parties...

...THIRD PARTY MEDIATION IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION Introduction The contemporary international system has witnessed dramatic increases in numerous conflicts. Specifically, of the six continents in the world, not even one is immune to one form of violent conflicts or the other. Of all efforts to explain the causes of these conflicts, a growing body of research findings highlights the association between economic deprivation and conflict. (Gurr 1970; Elbadawi 1992; Collier and Hoeffler 1998; Stewart 2002; Deiminger 2003; Justino 2004). Thence, circumstances of gross economic denial, together with social, political, and environmental factors precipitate conflict. Third party mediation in Conflict Resolution has gained a considerable and increasing attention from academics and policy makers. There is plethora of literature on the role of third party in conflict resolution. Due to the complexity of the discipline, conflict resolution seems to be a relative term that can mean either conflict prevention or conflict management. Likewise, debates ensued as to why a third party mediates in conflicts. For instance, people marvel why the ‘coalition of the willing’ intervened in Iraq over the unproven existence of weapons of mass destruction but not in North Korea that admitted having the weapons. In addition, NATO intervened in Kosovo, but not in Bosnia, the UN sent troops to halt ethnocide in East Timor but had done nothing to prevent same from happening in Rwanda. More ...

...1. Explore the significance of the British and American first-past-the-post election system with special reference to its effect on the party system in each country. How does it limit the development of third parties? Why have the Liberal Democrats been successful in joining the government despite the strong limits on representation that the electoral system provides? Britain and America are quite commonly known as first world countries (highly developed countries) and they are known to be the most powerful countries in the world. Britain and America practice the same type of electoral system that is first past the post. Their political system is large and intense mainly due to the size of the countries. As mention in the book Introduction to comparative politics: poltical challenges and changing agenda( fifth edition) ,Britain have a democratic parliamentary government headed by a Monarch and Prime minister and on the other hand the US (America) has a Presidential system and a Federal government with power share between the National government and fifty (50) states government. Both America and Britain have a bicameral system. In Britain, the Heads of state and Heads of Government are different in the role they play in that the monarch (which is the queen) and also the Head of state is responsible for mainly ceremonial duties, the Prime minister (Head of government) looks after the day to day affairs of the government. Any decision that is made needs the queen approval. In...
