...highways perfect for resourceful materials handling. The web of rivers cutting their way throughout this country comprises the United States Inland Waterway System. There are over 12,000 navigable miles carrying almost 625 million tons of commodities annually on the rivers (C. James Kruse). An in depth look in one of the oldest methods of transportation describes the design, creation, implementation, and maintenance of locks and dams as conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers. A closer look will also be taken at the history of the US ACE. A brief explanation of what is the inland waterway helps to understand the significance the US Army Corps of Engineers has played in shaping the capacity of waterborne transportation. The United States has used rivers for materials handling dating back hundreds of years. As time went on, the potential for using rivers became more and more apparent. Locks and dams had to be constructed to fully utilize the waterways. The rivers were already in place but for barges to travel up and down the rivers the implementation of locks and dams alleviated the problems arising from drops in river elevation or shallow areas. For instance, a river’s elevation may drop 400 feet over the course of 600 miles; this unsafe drop causes rapids and small waterfall systems detrimental to tow barges traversing the rivers (Inland Waterways | 2009 Report Card for America's Infrastructure). To relieve these problems, to date, almost 200 lock and dam sites have been...

A brief look into the Inland South is the environmental in general is humid subtropical climate, its summers are usually hot and humid, and its winters are mild not too hot not too cold. It usually gets cold when artic air come from the south. The Inland South receives a huge amount of rainfall which floods most of the region. The Inland South has increasingly come to be known as a major cultural center. A lot of music genre has southern roots coming from this area due to Africa-American slaves that once lived here. A big part of the music industry is the genre Blues. The Inland South is known for many things but mainly known for agriculture and low wage industry. At one time it used to be the poorest region in the United States. Until after WWII the south began to industrialize rapidly, businesses were interested in the area, the cost of living here was so cheap and there was lack of labor unions in this region. With the employment growth growing so rapidly it attracted other people from other regions to move here. The three main areas of this region that I will be focusing on is Rock Hill South Carolina, Canton Mississippi, and Shreveport Louisiana.

...Keller v. Inland Metals Kaplan University June 21, 2014 Case Study: Keller v. Inland Metals Express warranty can take numerous diverse procedures, whether verbal or written, and is chiefly an assurance that the merchandise will come across an assured side by side of value and dependability. If the merchandise flops in this esteem, the producer will repair or substitute the merchandise for no supplementary responsibility. Various such guarantees are written on a merchandise's packaging or completed obtainable as a choice. (Findlaw.com, 2014). In the case, of Keller v. Inland Metals All Weather Conditioning, Inc. as to whether did Inland make an express warranty and did the company breach it, is that yes Inland Metals did make an express warranty and therefore breach the contract. This can be seen in the communication between the two parties, that shows Inland Metals assured Keller that their dehumidifier would work and even wrote them a follow-up letter telling Keller what the product was capable of doing. And after reviewing and reading the case, we can see that Keller was in need of dehumidifier because the indoor swimming pool in athletic club they owned was giving off a hot, humid and odor according to the customers. Therefore, the Keller’s went shopping for dehumidifiers. The Keller was not familiar with what size dehumidifier they needed for the job so they contacted two contractors and one contractor offer a 10 ton dehumidifier for $40,000 and Inland offer 7.5...

...Strategic Alliance – Whirlpool Corporation and Inland Steel CASE Faced with intense competition, increasing expectations from customers, reduced product life cycles, and localized geographic markets, Whirlpool Corporation (a Fortune 500 manufacturer of appliances) realized that the need to achieve a competitive advantage from its sourcing and material efforts was greater than ever. Part of the strategy to achieve this advantage involved pursuing an alliance with a key steel supplier. Steel is a major component used across all of the company’s finished products (such as washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, and others). The purchasing managers at Whirlpool faced a number of questions with regard to their purchasing strategy: • What do we need to do to be competitive? • Who is best suited to be the primary steel supplier? • What do we need to know, and how do we get the information required to answer this question, especially with regard to our organizational culture, technological roadmap, and where both organizations are moving in the long term? • How do we implement a strategic alliance? • How do we establish a strategic alliance in terms of confidentiality agreements, termination agreements, and negotiation strategies? • How do we provide the supplier with evaluations to ensure that this alliance continues, with regard to continuous performance, goal achievement, and commitment? • What do we do if we do not meet our objectives—change the situation or simply...

...Case study for Keller V. Inland Metals All Weather Unit 2 Assignment 1 Prof. Elaine Lerner By: Meghna Tanna Date: February 21st, 2015 Facts of the case: Keller (plaintiff) installed a dehumidifier costing $30,000 from Inland Metals Weather Conditioning, Inc. All Metal was contacted by Keller as they had some issues of foul smelling near the pool and the air near the pool was hot and humid. But after the defendant (All Metal) installed a de-humidifier near the pool to treat the quality of the air, they still had same complaints as they did before they installed it. So Keller sued and trial court found that inland had breached an express warranty. A warranty is a contractual assurance that the goods will meet certain standards. It is usually a seller or manufacturer who gives it to a buyer and buyer relies on it. A warranty could be oral or written or both at same time reassuring the buyer of his contractual agreement. And EXPRESS WARRANTY is one that the seller creates with his words or actions. Whenever a seller clearly indicates that goods being sold will meet certain standards, seller has created an Express Warranty. Seller is bound by the his words and actions. So when All Metal sold a de-humidifier to Keller, they thoroughly explained the functionality of their product to Keller. That is Express warranty created by words. The problem of hot and humid air, foul smelling and water beads is very common and de-humidifier will be able to treat the air and make customers...

...A CASE STUDY KELLER v. INLAND METALS ALL WEATHER CONDITIONING, INC. You be the Judge Cindi Garlington 5/13/2013 An express warranty is one that the seller creates with his words or actions (Beatty, 2008). If a seller clearly says that the goods will meet certain standards, he has implied warranty. In the case of Brian and Clarice Keller, Inland has definitely implied a warranty by assuring the 7.5 dehumidifier would work both by the representative and the president of the company. The president then wrote a letter to the Keller’s stating that “This ducted system will rid you of the sweating walls and eliminate those offensive odors, and overall ‘bad air’.” He then went on to tell them that other indoor pools have had the same problem and their problems were eliminated by using one of these systems. The president then assured him that the air problems should be over and customers should be satisfied and happy. Just the word “should” could cause problems for the Keller’s in the written word from the president. Orally he had said the ducted system would work so the express warranty has definitely been made. I found this case rather interesting because to me it was so obvious that the express warranty was there and there was no real reason to have to take it to court. I looked up online and found out the court’s rulings on the case. This is what I summarized from the ruling. An express warranty by the seller can be created by any affirmation of...

...Case Study #2 Tyrone Burnett Kaplan University Case Study #1 Key Issues In the case of Keller vs Inland Metals All Weather Conditioning, Inc. Keller installed an indoor swimming pool in the athletic club they owned and customers began to complain about the air near the pool was hot, humid, and foul smelling (Beatty 2013). Two companies submitted bids one for a 7 1/2 –ton dehumidifier for about $30K and another 10 ton dehumidifier machine for about $40K. Keller was unsure if the 7 ½ ton dehumidifier might be too small. Inland’s president and another representative visited the club and assured Keller the 7 ½ ton dehumidifier would work and submitted a letter stating the same thing. Later, Keller still had the same problem and complaints about the air near the pool being hot, humid, and foul smelling. Keller decided to sue. Analysis 1 When you look at warranties it is a contractual assurance that goods will meet certain standards (Beatty 2013). As the text state, an express warranty is one that the seller creates with his words and actions (Beatty 2013). There was a breach and an express warranty was made. Keller had a problem that the 7 ½ ton dehumidifier was too small. Inland sent the president and a representative and orally told Keller that the 7 ½ ton dehumidifier would work. Inland also wrote in a letter stating “this ducted system will rid you of the sweating walls and eliminate those offensive odors, and overall bad air. The text also states, whenever...

...CASE STUDY: IMPLIED WARRANTY In this paper, Keller v. Inland Metals All Weather Conditioning, Inc. case will be reviewed to determine if Inland Metals made an express warranty and if they breached it. A warranty is “a guarantee that goods will meet certain standards” (Beatty, 2008, p.231). Warranties can be written or an oral agreement that is given by the seller or manufacturer to the buyer. When the seller’s actions or words convey that the goods will meet specific criteria, it is an express warranty. To take it one more step further, when “the seller knows that the buyer plans to use the goods for a particular purposes, the seller generally is held to warrant that the goods are in fact fit for that purpose” (Beatty, 2008, p.233) is called an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Please refer to Beatty (2008) textbook for a summary of Keller v. Inland Metals All Weather Conditioning, Inc. case on page 231. The Keller’s solicited a request for proposal from Inland and another contractor to address the hot, humid, and foul smelling air in their pool area at their fitness club. When Inland’s proposal came back at a lower cost for a 7 ½-ton dehumidifier, they were concerned about the performance of this unit as the other contractor recommended a 10-ton dehumidifier. Inland’s president and a representative from the machine’s manufacturer came back and reassess the use of the 7 ½ ton dehumidifier for the Keller’s pool area. When Inland’s president sent...

...in this case purchased a 7 ½ ton dehumidifier from Inland in an attempt to “clear the air” near the pool in their athletic club for which Inland promised that the system would achieve. However, the system did not accomplish what it set out to do and therefore the Keller’s can sue for breach of an express warranty. The Keller’s received other bids but had multiple meeting with Inland’s president to see if the smaller, cheaper, dehumidifier would meet their expressed needs. Inland went as far as bringing in a manufacturer for the dehumidifier to close the deal with the Keller’s. They both assured the Keller’s that their system would work to combat the issues they had. The president of Inland went one step further and wrote a letter solidifying that the system would rid them of the overall bad air and sweating walls. The Keller’s relied on these promises and ultimately purchased the system from Inland which in the end did not live up to the expectations assured. The sales pitch by Inland amounted to an express warranty. A warranty is a contractual assurance that goods will meet certain standards. An express warranty is one that the seller creates with his words or actions. (Beatty, Samuelson & Bredeson 2013, p.231). An express warranty need not be in writing but can be oral. As long as the seller clearly indicates to a buyer that the goods being sold will meet certain standards an express warranty is attached. When Inland orally assured the Keller’s that the 7 ½ ton unit...
