Cost Cutting With Six Sigma
Hospitals, manufacturing industries, and services industries are all experiencing tremendous pressure on the cost front. For hospitals, if it is not the declining reimbursement from insurance companies, it is the overall decline in revenue due to increased competition and the ever-climbing costs.How Does Six Sigma Contribute To Cost CuttingAlthough Six Sigma was never perceived as a cost cutting tool, it nevertheless contributed to that end. Six Sigma went about cutting cost in unique ways in all aspects of business operati

e Paper Tiger solves this challenge, and lots of other filing challenges as well, by using a random numerical system.

More importantly, The Paper Tiger system is not just a filing software program – it is a filing methodology which can turn any non-functioning filing system into an effective “finding system!”

Home Business - Make Sense Of The Failure Rate
When there is such an enormous choice of ways to make money at home, it seems strange that so many people fail when they try to start their own home business. Do they all choose the wrong business for them or is there something inherently wrong with the idea of earning money working from home? The statistics produced in regard to home businesses say that 90% will come to an end within the first five years. Ninety percent is a frighteningly high failure rate. If we assume the statistics are correct, should we let them deter us from wo

Losing a piece of paper can cost you piece of mind, a harmonious relationship, valuable time, an account, a promotion, or even your job! October is National Clean-Out Your Files Month -- a great time to face the facts about paper.

According to research sited by Abigail Sellen and Richard Harper in The Myth of the Paperless Office (MIT Press 2002), by the year 2005 there will be 50% more paper in offices than there was in 1995. In addition, the average person spends over 150 hours a year looking for misplaced information. It’s clear that the concept of the paperless office is a myth, not to be realized in our lifetime. But let’s face it! Check out the homes and offices all over America and it is imminently clear that using traditional filing methods, the problem of managing paper will never be solved. There simply aren’t enough human resources to make file labels and put files in alphabetical order!

An international office products company did a study which rated filing as the most hated job in the office. (I hope they didn’t pay much for that survey!) But the problem is much bigger than that! Here’s the real question: “How do you find the information in the filing system about the company car?” Is it “car,” “auto,” “vehicle,” or “Ford?” And then when you want the insurance policy for that car, is it “car insurance,” “insurance – car,” or “State Farm?” The only person who knows is the person who filed it – and he was laid off months ago (or maybe it was your spouse who just can’t understand why you can’t find anything in the files yourself!)

The solution is simple: a numerical filing system. When many people think of a numerical filing system, they think of a hierarchal system, such as the Dewey Decimal system. A hierarchal system presents its own set of problems. If a book is about anthropology and sociology, where does it go in the hierarchy? Taming the Paper Tiger solves this challenge, and lots of other filing challenges as well, by using a random numerical system.

Economic Comment on Youngstown, OH
In Youngstown we saw the city of Boardman growing middle class mixed race area with newer homes and the downtown and adjacent area appeared to be poor black, but not crime ridden, people there were very nice and hard working family folks. If you begin to study and look at the projects around the Youngstown area it is easy to get excited about the future seeing as they are pro-active and smart about economic growth and about their place in the world between Pittsburgh and Akron.The coolest and most aggressive project was out at the

Business Pain or Business Gain?
Before we begin a thorough discussion of business pain, let's take a look at what it really means. The words Business Pain are batted around by almost everyone I talk to in the marketing and sales fields. It is probably one of the more misused words when describing the help a company needs to become more efficient and effective. When you try to find out what a business worries about, you will find that you get a different answer from each person you talk to in the organization. That is because the "business pain" will be different for ea

The Custom Metal Stamping Process
Today, manufacturing has embraced a wide range of advanced technologies that have enabled the reduction of turnaround time considerably. As a result, demand on the metal stamping industry has also increased as the components have to be made to be exactly suitable to the final product. This has made precision and custom metal stamping much more important in the manufacturing industry.Custom metal stamping is the process of creating metal products according to the required sizes and shapes through a method called stamping. It involv

Desk Name Plates
A desk name plate furnishes a professional appearance to any place of work. It perks up the desk and workplace setting. Desk name plates are customized or personalized, so that the customer can choose his own design and description. Desk name plates vary from one customer to another not only in name, designation, logo and address, but also in design and texture. The text of a desk name plate could vary from one line to three lines. Lines may include only the customer’s name, or everything from the customer’s name, designation, and his co

If you ordered Taming the Paper Tiger, installed it on your computer (or maybe it’s still on your shelf?), you’re missing the chance of a lifetime. Research shows that 80% of what we keep we never use, so ignore the old piles, the filing systems that don’t work – and start over! With The Paper Tiger, you can use the File Clean-Out Report to keep the new filing system ship-shape.

Clutter is postponed decisions®. Do you ever sit down and your desk, or look at the kitchen counter, and say, “OK, today’s the day – I’m going to clean up this mess!” You pick up the first piece of paper, and wonder “Should I keep this?” “How long should I keep this?” “What should I call this?” “How can I find it when I need it?” – Or the really big one, “How will I even remember I have it?”

Think FAT: File, Act or Toss The good news is you have only three options – File, Act, or Toss. For practical reasons, let’s reverse the order. 1. Toss: Ask yourself, “What’s the worst possible thing that would happen if I didn’t have this?” Can you live with your answer, toss or recycle it! 2. Act: Is the ball in your court to do something? Pay a bill, plan a meeting, research a problem, solve a problem. In Paper Tiger, this is an Action File – and you’ll find 60 Action tabs in your Paper Tiger kit. (Use the “Category” field to identify your Top 10 actions.) 3. File: You don’t know if you’ll ever need this again, but you simply don’t have the nerve to throw it away. Not a problem. Your Paper Tiger kit comes with 320 Reference File tabs. Group items of interest in their largest category first, and use keywords to remind you what’s there. When the file gets too bulky, start another one.

If you’re concerned that a numerical system in general or The Paper Tiger system in particular, won’t work in your home or office, let’s talk! Give us a call at 800-427-0237 or send an e- mail to barbara@Prod
