By 1945 Huffman Trucking had 16 trucks and 36 trailers. With continuous growth from internal sales, and the acquisition 5 Eastern regional carriers, the company continues to be privately held. Huffman’s corporate office is located in Cleveland Oh. They have hubs located in St. Louis, Bayonne N.J, and in Los Angeles. Huffman’s trucking has a fleet of 800 trucks. Each truck is equipped with a GPS tracking system. This allows each truck and it’s cargo to be tracked to and from its destination. The dispatch is vital to operations, by allowing the truck and cargo to be tracked, and monitored. The companies driver’s are tracked from the moment he and his freight leave the warehouse. It also allows for real time access. Without real time access, remote locations would not be able to access the specific data on the trucks, in real time. Each truck is connected to the system through the real time access. Keeping these systems up to date will increase the speed of delivery and information. Each truck is equipped with a GPS system that is connected to the hub. Each hub has specific information, on all trucks and freight. This way the company knows which trucks are carrying which freight and going to which...

...Approaches to Critical Thinking Critical Thinking is defined by the process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating information to reach an answer or conclusion. (Dictionary.com, 2014) One may think critical thinking is a process to come to a conclusion but never really think about the approach used. There are various type of approaches for critical thinking. Some approaches allow for feeling and experiences to be a factor. Everyone has their own way of critical thinking of approaching conclusions. Everyone has a basis to think but never really know how ones thought reached that point of view. There is the way of assumption, information and purpose to Critical Thinking. The assumption approach allows ones thinking to make a justified conclusion. The level of thought that allows one to think this way can be biased or one-sided. (Elder and Paul, 2010) Thoughts that come from assuming can be hurtful and can have a negative solution. For example, if I believed that everyone should own a gun; people would immediately say how can you think that way. This is because everyone have different beliefs. This way of thinking can be good only if you are unbiased and allow for a justified conclusion by sound evidence. This approach can also be a quick solution that allows for feelings to reach the believed goal or perception. Though there are various approaches; these are the approaches...

...Information Systems Proposal Vince Wainwright BIS/220 2/16/2014 Instructor Alizadeh Scenario: Imagine that you and a business partner are considering starting a small, brick & mortar, nostalgic record store. Your friend does not have much experience with information systems or technology, and needs a basic understanding of the different types of information systems available to businesses. Write a 350 to 700 word proposal of the types of information systems that would work well for your chosen business, and their benefits and drawbacks. A brick and mortar record store must rely on its information systems for the smooth operation of daily operations. The types of information systems that are critical to a record store are Office Information System (employee tasking and email), Transaction Processing System (buying), and a Management Office System (tracking). These three systems are the key components for day to day operation of a successfully ran record store. Employees run the store thereby communication and work hours are important to log on a daily basis. An Office Information System will enable the managers and employees to engage in communications of daily activities, send emails, create reminders, maintain work hours and schedules. Communications of daily activities range from tasking to weekly schedules. Emails are used for fast communication and storing a paper trial of previous conversations and tasking. The maintenance of a weekly schedule...

... Organizations rely heavily on receiving accurate data and information to make strategic business decisions. The concept is a critical aspect for modern commerce, since technological advances allows any business to track, trace, and predict inventory usage up to the moment. Each diagram in an analyses alludes to how accurate an organization’s methodology for operations is. Data tables are a useful tool for organizations to determine a cost-effective method for improving inventory control and for creating methods to improve business processes. Evaluate Data Table Design Elements from an Accounting Perspective Kudler’s Fine Foods’ requires the use of data tables for management to perform an accurate analysis for controlling inventory. Personnel must possess information with little effort to perform daily operations. A data table’s ability to organize information is a large contributor in management’s ability to order adequate inventory. The information available also helps management calculate the Just in Time (JIT) inventory method. Supplemental, the inventory information is crucial to determine when to order more inventory and the amount to order as well. The grocery store’s current inventory data table illustrates critical information such as, item codes, inventory items, locations, and the total value of the inventory (and each individual item’s price). Kudler’s Fine Foods’ current inventory data table system is capable of identifying locations, inventory items, and prices...
