556 Seventh Avenue
Mason City, Iowa 50401 Dear Customer Service Representatives,
Boswell & Sons bought an Olympic Systems, Model PRS-2 CD-ROM drive from your store on November 15, 2006, during your pre-Christmas sale, when it was marked down to $199.95. We didn’t use the unit until January, because it was bought for my assistant, who unexpectedly took six weeks’ leave from mid-November through December. You can imagine her frustration when she first tried using it and it didn’t work.

On January, we took the drive to the authorized service center and were assured that the problem was merely a loose connection. The service representative fixed the drive, but in April we had reasonably well, although the response time is occasionally slow. Two months ago, the drive stopped working again. Once more, the service representative blamed a loose connection and made the repair. Although the drive is working now it isn’t working very well. The response time is still slow, and the motor seems to drag sometimes.
What is your policy on exchanging unsatisfactory merchandise? Although all the repairs have been relatively minor and have been covered by the one-year warranty, we are not satisfied with the drive. We would like to exchange it for a similar model from another manufacturer. If the new drive costs more than the old one, we will pay the difference, even though we generally look for equipment with heavy business discounts.
Boswell & Sons has done business with your store for six years and until now has always been satisfied with your merchandise. We are counting on you to live up to your reputation for standing behind your products. Please, let us hear from you soon.
Sincerely,

Jill

    Pacific Systems Company should single source their DVD drives and build a good relationship with the chosen supplier. Not only computer industry is hungry for DVDs, other electronic sectors such as home entertainment devices are competing for this item too, making lack of supply a major issue. If Pacific Systems wants to guarantee supply in such environment, it would be a good idea to create a single source strategic alliance with a long-term contract (2 years), renewable according to satisfaction parameters.…

    The Freeport store with a trout pond especially gives you the feeling of being outdoors in the state of Maine. Before you even walk in the doors you realize that L.L. Bean has something very unique behind their doors. The uniqueness comes from the ginormous Bean Boot sculpture sitting outside. It’s almost impossible to walk by without snapping a photo. But, above all the uniqueness and outdoors feeling the most important vibe you get while visiting L.L Bean is the feeling of trust and how personable it is. L.L. Bean products are guaranteed to last. If a customer is not 100% satisfied then they are allowed to return it, no questions asked. This feeling of trust comes from the ideology of L.L. Bean. According to the L.L. Bean website a customer is not dependent on them, but they are dependent on the customer. L.L. Bean believes that a customer is not someone to argue with because nobody has ever won an argument with a customer. In fact, Lean Bean has a golden rule; “Sell good merchandise at a reasonable profit, treat your customers like human beings and they will always come back for more” (Gorman, 2006).

    I am writing to you to inform you about potential cost saving move our company needs to consider. As IT director I have found time and time again. We are spending tons of money on Replacement DVD-Roms, DVD's, Storage space to house these disk, security for these disk. I also see a security risk for losing this data. I have Done some research to fined a cost saving move this company could make so solve these issues. My solution: External Mass Storage Devices. This is in the means of USB Thumb drives or portable hard drives. Both hold tons of data. USB Thumb drives come in full range of sizes. Today I carry a 32 GB drive that houses all most anything I will ever need on my to contain data. I would recommend or company to quit spending money on DVD drives and replace them with USB Drives for portable exchangement of data around the company. We can encrypt these drives for security, place RDIF chips for tracking just like our name badges, and price per GB is nearly half at first we purchase them, but with the reliability of theses drives there wont be replacements made from failure. No more scratch Disk. I also recommend 1TB USB external hard drives for back up of data for all portable computers in our company for those that work out side of our office. Please put this into consideration when budging for the next quarter. If we were to 100 USB drives of the office it would cost us around $ 1,000.00. We are spending $35.00 on Dual Layer DVDs per person per month. This is costing us $3,500.00 per month. I also spent $600.00 dollars last quarter on DVD drives. I wanted you to look at USB Back Up Drives. I found this: WD My Passport Air 1TB All Metal USB 3.0 Ultra-slim External Portable Hard Drive Storage. This will do the job and has enough room for extra space when needed. This would cost us $130.00 each, at 20 people needing these it would run us $2,600.00. this would make our total $3,600.00 dollars for the next quarter with no…

    Seagate Case

    The price per megabyte of disk storage has gone done 40% per year from 1980-1995. Seagate believes that in order to stay competitive they must aggressively enhance product offerings and reduce prices. They also believe that in addition to that, they need to provide timely introductions and reduce production costs. However, the surging global demand in this industry is causing some facilities to run at full capacity very frequently, so Seagate needs to tailor its manufacturing strategy for these new products they’re trying to introduce to be based on high-volume and low-cost assembly and test. They are committed to lowering manufacturing costs and increasing volume production, and this is especially important given the short product life cycle in this industry. Given the projected future demand of their newest Cheetah and Barracuda models they need to decide how to structure the assembly and test facilities for each, expecting 300,000 units of each in demand in about a year, but that comes with high demand uncertainty.…

    Buchenwald

    • 1601 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The Holocaust is the most horrifying crime against humanity of all time. Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non-supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme. One of his main methods of "doing away" with these "undesirables" was through the use of concentration camps. In January 1941, in a meeting with his top officials, the 'final solution' was decided (The Holocaust: Buchenwald). The Jewish population was to be eliminated. The people that were sent to concentration camps such as Buchenwald were treated horribly and it is unimaginable what they had to go through while they were there.…

    John Bosco was born on August 16, 1815, to a poor farming family in Becchi, a small suburb of Turin, Italy. The child grew to be the "Beloved Apostle of Youth". One of John Bosco's earliest recollections occurred at age two. He remembers his mother telling him upon his father's death , "You have no father now". Although he stated that he could not remember what his father was like , his death must have had a profound effect on him and perhaps sparked his desire to help troubled boys, many of whom were fatherless.…
