When Should You Fire a Cleaning Customer?
Years ago the phrase was coined, "The customer is always right." But this is not always a true statement, and keeping extremely demanding or troublesome customers may be biting into your profits. When you first started your cleaning business you were no doubt eager to get any paying customer you could get to sign on. But do you have customers whose phone calls you don't want to answer? Or are there cleaning clients on your list that are low profit, yet demanding and take up a lot of your time? Trimming these customers off your list will allow you to spend more time on building up relationships with higher profit margin accounts.Just running a business is tough and stressful. If you have cleaning customers who are never happy, are always complaining, expect you or your employees to do something illegal or unethical, or are just more trouble than they are worth; then it may be time to tell these clients to look for a new cleaning service.It often tends

Ann Emerg Med. 1998 Sep;32(3 Pt 1):310-7) introduced 10 major and 13 minor errors in a fictitious scientific manuscript. The manuscript was sent to all reviewers of the Annals of Emergency Medicine, the official publication of the American College of Emergency Physicians. The Annals has been in print for more than 25 years, and is the most widely read journal in emergency medicine. The work described in the manuscript was a standard double-blind, placebo control study of the effect of the propranolol drug on migraine headaches. The manuscript was reviewed by 203 reviewers. Eighty percent of the reviewers were professors at academic emergency medicine departments, and twenty percent were physicians in private practice.The analysis of the reviewers' comments produced the following results.

About RFID

Radio frequency identification or RFID, is a generic term for technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify people or objects. There are several methods of identification, but the most common is to store a serial number that identifies a person or object, and perhaps other information, on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag. Visit http://www.bigsquid.org for more information on this). The antenna enables the chip to transmit the identification information to a reader. The reader converts the radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag into digital information that can then be passed on to the computers that can make use of it.

Objective

The objective of any RFID system is to carry data in suitable transponders, generally known as tags, and to retrieve data, by machine-readable means, at a suitable time and place to satisfy particular application needs. Data within a tag may provide identification for an item in manufacture, goods in transit, a location, and identity of a vehicle, an animal or individual. By including additional data the prospect is provided for supporting applications through item specific information or instructions immediately available on reading the tag.

The system requires, in addition to tags, a means of reading or interrogating the tags and some means of communicating the data to a host computer or information management system. A system will also include a facility for entering or programming data into the tags. Quite often an antenna is distinguished as if it were a separate part of an RFID system. While its importance justifies the attention it must be seen as a feature that is present in both readers and tags, essential for the communication between the two. To understand and appreciate the capabilities of RFID systems it is necessary to consider their constituent parts. It is also necessary to consider the data flow requirements that influence the choice of systems and the practicalities of communicating across the air interface. By considering the system components and their function within the data flow chain it is possible to grasp most of the important issues that influence the effective application of RFID. However, it is useful to begin by briefly considering the manner in which wireless communication is achieved, as the techniques involved have an important bearing upon the design of the system components.

Components of RFID

RFID Reader :

The Reader is a radio frequency device used to read data from the microchip contained in the RFID tag. RFID readers use a variety of methods to communicate with tags. The most common method for reading passive tags at close range is called inductive coupling. Simply put, the coiled antenna of the reader creates a magnetic field with the coiled antenna of the tag. The tag draws energy from this field and uses it to send back waves to the reader, which is turned into digital information - the tag's electronic product code.

A Reader comprises of a transmitter, receiver, control module and communication functions, sometimes called a transceiver in radio terms for it to link to a controlling PC. Readers should have an attached antenna, which is used to transmit and receive the radio frequency signal. Each reader is accompanied with PC compatible software that allows the user to read and program tags. Win 2K, XP, ME are some of the operating systems compatible with our Readers.

RFID Tag :

An RFID tag or transponder is a wireless system composed of an electronic chip (semi-conductor device) with a memory where data can be stored. The memory can be permanent or volatile. They are classified within two frequency ranges, namely 125 KHz (low frequency) and 13.56 MHz (high frequency).

The RFID Business Case:

RFID in the Receiving Business Process: RFID readers are placed in the receiving area to monitor pallet and case RFID tags. The RFID readers verify the pallet license plate, count the units on the pallet, identify the vendor, and confirm the purchase order receipt without human intervention in the business transaction. RFID in the Conversion Business Process: RFID readers can be placed along the flow path of a manufacturing process. Work-in-process, or WIP, can be enabled by RFID tags for tracking and monitoring the conversion of raw materials and intermediates into finished goods and stock-keeping units. This material information is integrated with the ERP production order transaction process to track manufacturing steps and issue production transactions.

RFID in the Customer Order Picking Business Process: Forklift drivers will use RFID readers to select case and pallet materials to pick order and assemble the shipment. Elimination of staging and verification processes can yield savings. This material information is integrated with the ERP warehouse and order management process to update the customer order pick list.

RFID in the Shipping Business Process: Forklift drivers and warehouse bays will use RFID readers to track case and pallet materials onto trucks. This material information is integrated with the ERP warehouse and order management process to update the customer order shipment.

The RFID value proposition propagates if the RFID infrastructure is leveraged by other enterprises in the downstream value chain.

Winn Dixie Not Long For This World
Winn Dixie Supermarket Chain is in bankruptcy (yet recording another huge loss in their 2005 fiscal year) after a 51 million dollar loss in fiscal year 2004. Now they report a 622 million dollar loss and some are fretting the worse may be inevitable as it looks as if emerging from bankruptcy may not be possible.They have closed stores and warehouses to cut costs, yet were hurt also from the Hurricanes, especially Katrina. In fact some stores in fiscal year 2005 showed a 4% same store decline. Yet some of that is due to the advancement of Wal-Mart Super Center competition and the other main regional chain Publix. Winn-Dixie is closing 326 stores and three distribution centers in all and may now be forced to close more. Hurricane Wilma comes in to play in their 2006 fiscal year, which is already raising eyebrows with investors. Hurricane Katrina caused property damage and inventory loss in 110 of its stores in the effected area.Unfortunately the only o

China Joint Ventures: Joint ventures (JV) are allowed to carry out manufacturing and sales operations in China. A JV is also permitted to sell products through its own sales network.Equity Joint Venture: A Company, with limited liability, set up by a Chinese company and a foreign investor, is an Equity Joint Venture. The parties share profits and losses in proportion to their respective contributions to Joint Venture's registered capital. Starting from 2001, Equity Joint Ventures are governed by the Law of the PRC on Joint Ventures using Chinese and Foreign Investment. Co-operative Joint Venture: The Law of the PRC on Chinese-Foreign Contractual Co-operative Enterprises governs Co-operative Joint Ventures. A Co-operative Joint Venture is similar to an Equity Joint Venture in many respects, and many of the same regulations apply. However, principal features that distinguish a Co-operative Joint Venture from an Equity Joint Ve

Hezbollah's Affect on Freight Transportation and Warehousing in Lebanon
Hezbollah terrorists are not just destroying homes and towns in Israel. Their actions are also having an effect on the global freight industry. As fighting continues in Lebanon the damage caused to Beirut airport has prevented any commercial flights to or from the country.A number of leading freight services (including companies from the UK) have suspended the transport of cargo to and from Beirut airport. Many freight forwarding companies are still transporting goods to Damascus. However if Syria enters the fray in support of Hezbollah with whom it has close links, commercial transportation to that country might also be affected.One of the key reasons for the cessation of flights to Beirut is the fact that the city’s runway has been damaged. However, if the violence escalates the issue of safety may also prevent the transport of freight to and from the country.Indeed, only last week two truck drivers were killed at the Beirut Container Termina

BIGSquid RFID Middleware Server

The Server part of the BIGSquid RFID collects the tag information and updates in the database. The server will be running in the backend as a Service. Whenever there is a read at any particular reader it will be validated and will be stored in database against particular inventory.

The server will read the tag value precisely and will not miss any valid data. The validation part first checks whether the data that has been captured is valid or not and then it will check for the object or inventory that tag value represents and stores the tag value against that inventory or object.

Shipping supplies are normally ordered in bulk. As a result, the manufacturers are often willing to give price discounts for those products that are purchased in bulk. Bulk-ordered shipping supplies include boxes, bags, tags, labels, and bubble wraps. Although there are several advantages to ordering shipping supplies in bulk, it is necessary to remember that safety is of utmost importance in the case of shipping supplies. As such, a shopper needs to ensure the quality of those products that he is purchasing at discounted rates.
