...How to Prevent Perishable Shrinkage Visit any large supermarket in the morning, the aroma in the air is always that of fresh baked bread. Customers will frequent a particular supermarket over others because of its perishable department. Therefore it is vital that the ‘fresh & friendly’ philosophy becomes the operational standard of any retail organisation that wants to remain profitable. A produce department accurately merchandised is a sight to behold; it is a symbol of beauty and magnificence. It conveys a message of freshness to customer that creates customer loyalty and develops a satisfying perception about your store. It is the perishable department that distinguishes one supermarket from another. Product availability, freshness and quality all contributes to the competitive edge one supermarket has over another. Four essential facts about perishable department: • Fuels sales & profit • Stores lose 20% of available perishable profit to shrinkage • Reducing perishable shrinkage by 20% will increase total store profit by 33% • The perishable department contributes the highest income; ironically it is also responsible for the highest level of shrinkage. Causes of Perishable Shrinkage There are numerous causes of perishable shrinkage, but the main causes are Product receiving and handling practices Spoilage due to over stacking products Mistakes that allow stock to overstay in the backroom Theft by customers and employees The ultimate challenge is to determine...

...6.1 The Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s (ASIC) Power to Ban directors ASIC may apply to the court for a declaration of contravention of a civil penalty provision such as a director’s duty under section 1317E. Once a declaration has been made, ASIC can seek, for example, a pecuniary penalty order under section 1317G or a disqualification order under section 206C. ASIC is permitted to commence separate civil proceedings if it wishes to pursue civil remedies following an unsuccessful prosecution.62 ASIC is able to disqualify directors from managing corporations for certain periods of time due to the directors’ contravention of their general, statutory or constitutional duties. For example, in a statement dated 5 December 2006, ASIC banned nine directors of failed companies for their individual breaches, including trading while insolvent, uncommercial and fraudulent transactions, failure to exercise duties in good faith and in the best interests of the corporation, failure to maintain proper financial records, failure to pay taxes due to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), failure to pay statutory debts, and failure to provide administrators with a statement of company affairs.63 Mr. Stephen Vizard, the defendant who was a director of Telstra, one of Australia’s largest public companies invested in listed shares through a company named Creative Technology Investments Pty Ltd ("CTI"). The sole director and member of CTI was Mr Lay, Mr Vizard's accountant. CTI...

...Renee Jones 12/12/2012 HRM 587 As I was thinking about the two companies that I wanted to do for my course project on, I began to research companies on the internet and I ran across the merger between United and Continental airlines. The reason that I choose to do the merger is because I knew that they were going to go through many changes within this merger. Both airline companies have a lot to offer to each other with this merger that they can compete with Delta airlines one of the largest airline in the world. This merger will bring about several changes within both companies. In this paper I will be providing the different changes between both companies with the merger including the culture, systems and unions. Since they were two different companies this will bring on big changes when they finally merger together. History In In the year of 2008 United Airlines CEO Glenn F. Tilton and Continental Airlines, CEO Jeffrey A. Smisek began to talk about merging both company together in order to become the largest merger ever to take place between two airlines. However, once Continental found out about United Airlines declining financial statues they declined their offer. The talk of United negotiating a merger with US Airways stunned the CEO and board members of Continental Airlines. Predictor stated that United Airlines used this tactic to allure Continent Airline to renegotiate the merger that was discussed in 2008. In 2010 a big announcement was presented stating...

...ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956 defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. The field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence—the sapience of Homo sapiens—can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine. This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.Artificial intelligence has been the subject of optimism, but has also suffered setbacks and, today, has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science. AI research is highly technical and specialized, and deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other.]Subfields have grown up around particular institutions, the work of individual researchers, the solution of specific problems, longstanding differences of opinion about how AI should be done and the application of widely differing tools. The central problems of AI include such traits as reasoning...

...workflow. CHALLENGES AFFECTING KEY STAKEHOLDERS The processes currently being used at Simple Getaways for communication and the distribution of information are no longer suitable for the organization. Documents from each office are stored onsite on a Microsoft Windows file server, making it difficult for other offices to access and use the information they contain. Currently the method used to share files with other offices is via email. This results in multiple copies of the same document residing on various computers at multiple office locations. The duplicate versions are not updated when the original document is modified which leads to different versions of the same document being used. Some business decisions are being made using information from the outdated documents. For example, a document containing airline ticket pricing may be used when creating price quotes for customer travel, but the price for airline tickets fluctuates regularly. If these inaccurate prices were used in a quote, the company has the potential to lose money on the transaction and may be obligated to fulfil the terms of the quote even though it was based on incorrect information. Additionally, when a document is shared between multiple offices and they each make alterations and return the document, the...

...1. Be mindful of the three: language, spellings and grammar, and format. 2. Write simple, short sentences that you can manage to write without grammatical errors. As a thumb rule, if your sentence runs into the third line in MS Word, it is long and perhaps confounding. 3. Do run proper spell check before submitting any document to anyone. It is unprofessional and rather rude to submit documents with spellings mistakes. The reader will immediately lose confidence in your professional capabilities. 4. Maintain proper formatting requirements for any professional document. Typically a standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial with size 12, proper line and paragraph spacing to facilitate readability, and justified alignment (unless submitting to US people who prefer left justified) is needed. All tables, figures, lists and any other such things must have captions with proper number and title (e.g. Table 1: Names of the Companies Involved in 2G Scam). Tables shouldn’t have any vertical lines as per the APA standards. Different levels of headings in a text should follow different and consistent patterns. You may take a look at any standard journal article to better understand this point. Whenever you feel impressed by the format of a document, mark the formatting patterns. You will learn formatting quickly in this manner. 5. A reference without citation is meaningless. Unless you clearly indicate which line or idea is borrowed, you are...
