The strategy is recommended because of its versatility. The tool company need to be able to respond quickly to the need of their customers. Keiretsu is a hybrid of purchasing from a few suppliers approach and vertical integration. The Japanese Word Keiretsu describes suppliers that become part of the company’s coalition. There are two different types of Keiretsu. Horizontal keiretsu are usually organized around a bank and consist of a variety of companies that perform different functions. Vertical keiretsu, are composed of a major industrial corporation and its suppliers in a particular industry. These vertical keiretsu are "held together by fairly predictable transaction patterns and based on implicit long-term contracts, financing and equity...

...JCT 2 Task 1 Heidi Dyer A. The following files have been submitted as attachments: · Fourth Quarter Cumulative Balanced Scorecard · Income Statements for the 4 quarters · Balance Sheets for the 4 quarters B. 1. A budget is an itemization of estimated or known expenses for a given time period. Pro-forma Statements are forecasted income statements, statements of cash flow, and balance sheets for the following term. They are based on expected revenues and costs. It is a good idea to pay close attention to the figures in these statements, although they are not based on fact, they do provide helpful advice if used in conjunction with previous quarter financials and the allocated budget. The budget and pro-forma statements are used to plan production costs. I tried to keep costs at a minimum for the first and second quarter planning. I opened only 2 offices, advertised sparsely, and hired a minimum of sales people. However I underestimated sales and though I had cash left for the next terms, I did not have enough inventories to cover the demand. For the third quarter I spent more than I had previously and squandered a great deal of the capital I had built up from the second quarter, suffering a significant financial loss. I did not pay attention to the pro-forma statements and did not think about the budget. My lack of planning showed at the end of that quarter and I learned a valuable lesson. If this had been a real company and not just a simulation, I would...

...JCT 2 Task 3 Having been retained by a group of investors who plan to manufacture and market a line of power hand tools to guide their decisions around the supply-chain, the first order of business would be to recommend adoption of an overall supply-chain strategy. There are many different strategies to choose from. One such strategy would be to use the Many Suppliers strategy where “a supplier responds to the demands and specifications of a ‘request for quotation’, with the order usually going to the low bidder” (Heizer, J. & Render, B. 2010, p. 425). This strategy forces the suppliers into competition with one another and is not very conducive to forming long-term partnerships. Another is the Few Suppliers strategy where the goal is to form long-term relationships with suppliers. “Long-term suppliers are more likely to understand the broad objectives of the procuring firm and the end customer” (Heizer, J. & Render, B. 2010, p. 425). The potential downside for this strategy is huge cost for changing suppliers if necessary and the purchaser also has to worry about supplier performance. The strategy I would recommend for the power tool company would be the Vertical Integration strategy. The goal in using this strategy would be to ‘develop the ability to produce goods or services previously purchased or to actually buy a supplier or a distributor’ (Heizer, J. & Render, B. 2010, p. 426). Vertical Integration can also offer different strategic opportunities...

...1. Introduction 1.1 Indian Textile Industry India is a traditional textile-producing country with textiles in general, and cotton in particular, being major industries for the country. India is among the world’s top producers of yarns and fabrics, and the export quality of its products is ever increasing. Textile Industry is one of the largest and oldest industries in India. Textile Industry in India is a self-reliant and independent industry and has great diversification and versatility. The textile industry can be broadly classified into two categories, the organized mill sector and the unorganized decentralized sector. The organized sector of the textile industry represents the mills. It could be a spinning mill or a composite mill. Composite mill is one where the spinning, weaving and processing facilities are carried out under one roof. The decentralized sector is engaged mainly in the weaving activity, which makes it heavily dependent on the organized sector for their yarn requirements. This decentralized sector is comprised of the three major segments viz., powerloom, handloom and hosiery. In addition to the above, there are readymade garments, khadi as well as carpet manufacturing units in the decentralized sector. The Indian Textile Industry has an overwhelming presence in the economic life of the country. It is the second largest textile industry in the world after China. Apart from providing one of the basic necessities of life i.e. cloth, the textile industry...

Since you define these parts, you also organize them in a manner that helps some parts of your database to supply specific information to others. In one part, you would cover one category of data, such as people's personal information (name, date of birth, salary, hobbies, etc), in another you would cover what they buy in a store. 3 - Microsoft Access: Microsoft Access is a relational database used on desktop computers to manage information on different levels for different purposes.

...Statutory Interpretation (not examinable) • Literal Rule There are three (3) principles of law that can be applied to interpret the law, where the Literal rule can be applied and if absurdity exist either the Golden or the Mischief rule can be used. The Literal rule considers the law as what it says where the natural meaning of the words are used for interpretation; this can be depicted in the case Regina v Barrymore where the defendant was charged with the offence of wounding with the intent to murder, however the learned magistrate of St John’s Magistrate’s court committed the defendant to stand trial on a charge of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The court however had no power to commit the defendant for any offence other than the offence with which he had been charged. • Golden Rule The Golden rule is an extension of the literal rule, giving either narrow or wide meaning to the law; the Narrow meaning can be exemplified in the case of Marilyn Spenser v the Attorney General (AG), where the appellants, members of the Executive of the Committee of the Hallelujah Square Tabernacle church submitted to the Attorney General (AG) articles of incorporation of the church as a religious non- profit organization. However, the AG rejected the request stating that a nonprofit company must be a commercial enterprise which is to be carried out without financial gain to its members. Wide Meaning on the other hand is used to give law a wider meaning...
