...Intro to Business Logistics Management Professor Mohammed Baki Zhang Yuxin 104225453 2.09.2016 Introduction This report is to analysis an appropriate price of a Bic pen. To plan on purchasing 10,000 Bic pens each year for total five years. Through analyzing the material, Mfg costs, labor costs, SG&A and packaging, transportation and profit of a Bic pen to get a reasonable price. Material According to Lemon (2016), Bic pen is made of tungsten carbide ballpoint, Brass tip, link, polystyrene barrel and polypropylene cap and tube. To be more exact, the ballpoint is made of tungsten carbide which can be found the price is USD 60/Kilogram in the Alibaba website. To use the density of the material(15.63g/cm3)and the volume formula of ball(r=0.5mm),to get the weight of the ball is around 0.00817g, thereby we can get that the price of each ballpoint is 0.06USD. Secondly, the brass price is USD 8/kilogram, which can be found in Alibaba.com. The weight of each tip brass is 1.28g (Pen Modding, 2016), so the each price is 0.0102USD. Thirdly, due to the length of ink tube is 10.2cm, the internal diameter is 2mm and the density of ink is1.11 g/cm3. Therefore, the weight of the ink is approximately 0.36g, and the link cost is about 0.003USD for each pen. Fourthly, the polystyrene barrel for ink remains in the pen which cost USD 1800/metric ton. It is necessary to use the outer diameter (3mm), internal diameter (2mm) and density of the material (0.95 g/cm3) to get the weight...

...and the processes by which those products are created and delivered. The search for "best practice" can taker place both inside a particular industry, and also in other industries (for example - are there lessons to be learned from other industries?). The objective of benchmarking is to understand and evaluate the current position of a business or organisation in relation to "best practice" and to identify areas and means of performance improvement. The Benchmarking Process Benchmarking involves looking outward (outside a particular business, organisation, industry, region or country) to examine how others achieve their performance levels and to understand the processes they use. In this way benchmarking helps explain the processes behind excellent performance. When the lessons learnt from a benchmarking exercise are applied appropriately, they facilitate improved performance in critical functions within an organisation or in key areas of the business environment. Application of benchmarking involves four key steps: (1) Understand in detail existing business processes (2) Analyse the business processes of others (3) Compare own business performance with that of others analysed (4) Implement the steps necessary to close the performance gap Benchmarking should not be considered a one-off exercise. To be effective, it must become an ongoing, integral part of an ongoing improvement process with the goal of keeping abreast of ever-improving best practice. Types of Benchmarking ...

...Assignment: Amazon Evolution Tracy Robinson Dalke XBIS 219 Business Information Systems June 19, 2011 Leslie D'Anjou Assignment: Amazon Evolution In order to keep up in the global revolution of internet Amazon has created services they can provide to businesses to utilize their unused processing capacity. These services make Amazon’s infrastructure available to companies and individuals to help them run the technical and logistical parts of their businesses (Introduction to Information Systems). I believe that Amazon is moving beyond its core competency, which began as an online book retailer. Amazon has gone from selling books to also selling some electronics, such as E-Readers. With the addition of the services Amazon is now introducing, they are more able to compete with Microsoft and Google. In adding services at reasonable prices Amazon has created and implemented a sound strategy that should help to keep them in the forefront of the global internet market. The services Amazon has added so far include Simple Storage Service (S3), which allows businesses to store data and applications on Amazon disk drives, Amazon charges 15 cents per gigabyte per month. Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a service in which Amazon rents out processing power starting at 10 cents per hour. Some businesses use both of these services together saving the companies both money and time. The third service Amazon has added is called Mechanical Turk, this service combines processing power...

The objectives of SSM’s SDP II are: • To enhance delivery and improve accuracy of information; • To achieve a standardised and consistent mode of reporting with enhanced analytical capabilities; • To promote data usability and exchange flow with external stakeholders. According to Nor Azimah, SSM also promotes the adoption of XBRL as a nationwide format to be used by key agencies such as the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), Securities Commission (SC) and Bursa Malaysia and the building of extension taxonomies by the mentioned agencies. The said adoption will provide SSM, other regulators and businesses with detailed data which can be aggregated and made available to stakeholders in the form of industry analysis for industrial benchmarking. The move to XBRL-based reporting is also in line with plans to transform Malaysia into a digital country by 2020, as XBRL reports form part of the digital reporting chain. At the recent Digital Malaysia Press Conference held on 5 July 2012 by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) along with Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), Datuk Badlisham Ghazali, CEO of MDeC told the media that Digital Malaysia will help drive automation and technology adoption to ensure productivity and...
