1. JBH Chassis project – Have about two weeks’ worth of newer data saved and compared, some 24 hours out are within +/- 10, others off by 100. Will complete a month’s worth of data and submit to Ash for review this weekend-Monday. Finding infrequent oddities. Data in IOD is the same as SIMS, investigating several cases of just human error during inventory at the ramp level. Afraid until all ramps have a better inventory processes the data will always have these infrequent oddities. Requested a call or time with Ash next week to follow up and pull some ideas from him. I did not follow up with Ash, got busy with the westrock loads and project sat, last convo is there will not a lot that can be done as of now, but big hopes on the OPTICS coming out. Going to drop it, and work closely with the accuracy once OPTICS is released. 2. JB Hunt’s equipment dwell –Still pushing to decrease total inventory despite of age. Chassis and container inventories are …show more content…

N1 information – Hunts from KCS/Mexico no longer has the notifying name and phone number causing a huge work queue of error in our Terminal Support. Getting our EDI (Watson) to talk to Hunt’s EDI guys to either figure out how to put the extra information back in or create a work around to prevent the extra work for our Terminal Support. NS/JBH EDI teams spoke, not resolution at this time. Double checking with Terminal Support what kind of issue it is causing. 5. Plan to have my 2017 goals put together by 1/27, giving myself a whole extra week right now due to the kick off meeting next week. Sent to Keith on 2/3 and spoke quickly about them with him today. 6. Assisting in setting up onboarding DETA to Hunt, will have a conference call line setup and outlook invite out hopefully today. Good call between Hunt and EDI team, JBH had follow up questions and Justin to answer and get them back this coming week. NS should be ready to turn Hunt on towards the end of this

    The ethical discernment model described by Slosar (2004) and developed for use at Ascension Health will assist us as we analyze this case. It reminds us that discernment engages our spirituality, intellect, imagination, intuition, and beliefs. It is decision-making that reaches into the heart of our beliefs about God, creation, others, and ourselves. It therefore requires structured time for reflection and prayer from the beginning and throughout the process.

  • Critical Business Enquiry Project ( Umcd9w 40-3 )

    1832 Words  | 4 Pages

    Numerous studies have suggested that there is a strong positive correlation between additional years of schooling undertaken and average wage returns (see Card 1999, 2001, Kane et al 1999, Kirby and Riley 2008, Silles 2007 and Park 1996). However, more recent UK research has focused upon returns related to the type of qualifications attained (Croucher et al, 2006). It has been found that most typically there are higher wage returns to academic qualifications than that of vocational qualifications whereas low level vocational qualifications bring little return - (see Dearden et al, 2002 and Sianesi, 2003). Suggesting then that low level vocational qualifications are in fact not worth pursuing and instead it is more beneficial to pursue an academic qualification.

    Rondo's Inventory Ratio declined to 9.5 in 2005, down from a ratio of 10 in 2003 and 2004. Rondo's sales improved year-over-year and the decline in inventory turns may be the result of carrying more inventory in response to increased sales. However, Rondo is still carrying too much inventory or the company may have excess obsolete inventory. Rondo needs to utilize just-in-time methods to improve inventory turn over. (Nice catch.) Carrying fewer inventories is required to improve efficiency and reduce cost. Rondo's performance is poor in this area.

    the retail industry is highly competitive which means a product could pass from highly seek to a “dust collector” in a matter of a few months. This makes valuating inventory very hard. Deloitte asserted this statement by strictly defining what was to be considered obsolete inventory and setting a wide amount range for what was to be considered obsolete. However, Just for Feet’s estimate was around 63% lower than Deloitte’s lower range. Deloitte did not thoroughly check such a discrepancy even after noticing category #3 for obsolete items was totally ignored a WHOLE warehouse was omitted from inventory count.

    ... inventory turnover was found to be very low. The low inventory turnover ratio was an indicator of inadequacy, since inventory usually has a rate of return of zero (Inventory Turnover Ratio Interpretation, 2009). It also implied either poor sales or excess inventory. A low turnover rate indicated poor liquidity, convincible overstocking, and obsolescence, but it would have also reflected a planned inventory build-up in the case of material shortages or in anticipation of rapidly rising prices. (Inventory Turnover Ratio Interpretation, 2009) And a rapid and unexplained rise in the number of sales per day in receivables in addition to growing inventories to cover the shortage was noted. The interviewee (Public Accountant) could smell something suspicious which led him for more detailed procedures and proactive investigation at the end of which a fraud was detected.

  • MRP at Wheeled Coach

    1533 Words  | 4 Pages

    However, not everything at wheeled coach was operating so perfectly. As mentioned earlier Wheeled Coach had a major problem in excess inventory. One reason for this was that their bill of materials accuracy was way below standard. When orders were received by Wheeled Coach, the list that tells them the multiple different parts required to make the particular model of ambulance that was ordered, was listing incorrect components. Due to this mistake, a domino effect caused purchase order inaccuracy, as orders are placed according to the bill of materials. Before Wheeled Coach was able to realize that this was an issue they had stock piled copious amounts of excess materials that were not needed in current orders. The final operating failure that Wheeled Coach is experiencing is a different matter entirely. Sales forecasting is not linked to bill of material accuracy or purchase order accuracy, but Wheeled Coach’s inability to estimate their future sales has contributed to the increase ...

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    In general, I consider my greatest strength in the case study tutorials to be a confidence and willingness to contribute, which is certainly something I have struggled with in the past (during A levels, etc.). Having gained experience in group work and in leading a group project in my foundation year at Keele, I now find it far easier to speak up in these situations. I consider myself to generally be a very quiet person, so it has taken a lot of development to get to the point where I am able to speak out loudly and clearly. I am pleased with what I have achieved in this regard.
