    Supply chain management is the coordination of the processes and functions within a business, adopted by most companies in the UK in the late 1990’s. It deals with the internal and external factors that, when dealt with correctly and systematically, can determine a businesses success or failure. A supply chain is the network of activities that delivers a finished product service to the customer. By definition, supply chain management (SCM) is “the management of the flows of materials from suppliers to customers in order to reduce overall cost and increase responsiveness to the customers” (Reid & Sanders). SCM entails the co-ordination of the movement of good through the supply chain from suppliers to manufacturers to distributors to the final customer. The main aim of SCM is to maximise the efficiency of any given process being carried out by a company; by doing this it is allowing them to try to cut their costs and hopefully keep satisfying their customers’ needs, while at the same time maintaining their competitive position within their market. Supply chain management is seen as more of an “open system” in contrast to the traditional system used by the majority of companies just 20 years ago. The new “open system” allows room for change which is greatly needed with the current financial instability of the economy.…

    Death of a Salesman

    • 1606 Words

    When it comes to families, all ours are different and what separates our family from the next person is the way we act toward each other. What makes a tight family is how they can communicate with each other, not putting one person over the other and treating everyone just as equal. However in”Death of a Salesman’’ by Arthur Miller, the Loman family was pure an example of a dysfunctional family. They were a family who fed off lies, dreams of success, and phony relationships. Arthur wanted to send the message of how there’s a difference between working hard for success and finding the “in’s and out’s”, the way Willy believes. He might want to take advice about success from Booker T. Washington who said” success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” Arthur Miller shows with Happy, Willy, and Biff that success is not only seen as a goal but also as a weakness. Each character plays a big role on why the family is so dysfunctional; the only character who seems normal was the mother. The relationship Willy had with his boys was night a day between Biff and Happy. However his “golden child” wasn’t so much a “golden child”.…

    A conventional “bricks and mortar” grocery does not have an online presence, only a physical one. It is built on a face-to-face customer service, and usually always has a building for their operations. A “brick and mortar” grocery has advantages and disadvantages compared to an online operation, like Theorganicgrocer.com. First of all, their major disadvantage is the overhead. The cost of property, insurance, taxes and staff is much higher for a “brick and mortar” operation than an online operation. The biggest advantage for a “brick and mortar” operation is customer security. To a customer, if a company has physical presence, it is seen as more reliable as the company is far less likely to fold overnight and disappear.…
