advantage). Understanding these issues will help understand the strategy of Inditex. • Zara’s value chain is a classic example of a downstream (buyer) driven value chain‚ instead of an upstream (production) driven value chain. It is much less concerned with production efficiency than with customer responsiveness. By fully‚ tightly integrating its upstream and downstream value chains‚ Zara pushes “quick response” to the maximum. We can safely conclude that Zara’s core competence is “fast” response.

Downstream of MO source mainly refers to the LED epitaxial chip industry‚ which in 2013 suffered mid/low-end overcapacity‚ causing chip price to ceaselessly fall; finally‚ most companies witnessed a continuous decline in profitability‚ at a loss.

diversion are decrease sediment downstream of dam and decreased water volume in waterways down/upstream. The decrease in sediments downstream of dams causes nutrients not to transfer so without valuable nutrients plant and animal growth is decreasing. The decrease in water volume in waterways is interfering with the reproductive cycle of plants and animals downstream. For example‚ the Chinook salmon aren’t able to spawn since there were trapped from moving back upstream by dams which formed large pools

The freeze off can result in the regulator becoming inoperable causing a potential loss of pressure control or even result in the loss of service to downstream customers. Clearly‚ regulator freeze off is an operating condition a natural gas transportation pipeline or distribution utility wants to avoid. Awareness of the causes and effects of freezing conditions and methods of avoiding these conditions

Friction Losses Abstract—The purpose of the experiment is to study the differences of roughness‚ valves and geometries of pipe and how they influence friction losses. Introduction Friction loss is the loss of energy or “head” that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. This energy drop is dependent on the wall shear stress (τ) between the fluid and pipe surface. The shear stress of a flow is also dependent on whether the flow is turbulent

Advantages & Disadvantages of Three Gorges Dam Here we present the pros and cons of world famous and gigantic Three Gorges Dam project. The Three Gorges Dam is the most famous and most gigantic project of the world. But‚ everything has two sides‚ so here we present the advantages and disadvantages of China’s Three Gorges Dam‚ namely its pros and cons. Supporters say the benefits of the project far outweigh the costs. The principal advantage of the project is to generate power to keep pace with
