In an effort to boost revenue, KFF is seeking to launch a shopper rewards program. These types of systems are very common in most grocery store chains around the world offering discounts on in store products, however KFF is determined to cater to the demographic of their shoppers by taking this program a step further. The system specific to KFF needs includes a reward points system designed to provide the customer exclusive offers on both in store products and with third party partners. This system will be designed to store customer data while providing reward points to be used for purchases both in-store and with third party partners. Reward points will be redeemable for fine foods, first class airline upgrade, high end gifts, and other items and bonuses of that nature. Points will be rewarded in increments based on money spent on purchases within the store in which the customer provides a reward card or number to reference (phone #) during checkout process. Since this system will be collecting customers’ personal information, it is imperative that potential issues are addressed prior to the implementation of this system. In order to open a rewards account a customer will need to provide personal data such as phone numbers, and home/email...

...SR-kf-013 Robert Held BSA/310 May 7th, 2012 Jack Davis SR-kf-013 Introduction Based in the San Diego metropolitan area, Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) has three stores that deal exclusively with specialty foods. Kathy Kudler, owner and chief executive of the company, is exploring new options to expand the business. In order to do so, KFF needs to design and incorporate new sales and marketing techniques. Although only three stores strong, Kathy feels that some type of rewards program will boost business and aid the company in discovering what the customers need by tracking purchases and buying habits. The true objective of KFF is to expand and dominate the entire west coast and Kathy knows this cannot be accomplished without first becoming more “customer aware” and achieving a level of operational excellence that exceeds what is presently engaged. The management team understands that this is an attainable goal that can be overtaken by ensuring product quality, benevolent pricing, and customer satisfaction. The Frequent Shopper Program The main objective of the Frequent Shopper Program (FSP) is to track customer transactions and purchasing habits. With this information, KFF can then offer clients certain incentives based on loyalty points accumulated by purchases. It is Kathy’s desire that these collective points be applicable to many different types of rewards such as airline upgrades, high-end gifts and free specialty foods of their choice. The information obtained by...

Online consumer behavior is being tracked all over the world-wide-web via cookies, Flash cookies, and “Web beacons” such as Omniture. Ad networks utilize information collected via various Javascripts and/or cookies to dynamically create content for users. One such Ad network called BlueKai actually allows its users to see a visual representation of the data being collected and shared about them. The amount and variety of data contained in user cookies alone is simply staggering! Many consumers today are beginning to wonder whether or not their privacy is at risk. With that in mind, proposing a system that tracks online shopping behavior introduces quite a few risks. Legal Concerns Where PII (Personally Identifiable Information) is concerned, so is the law. When handling behavioral data of any kind, it must be stored securely. If any PII is collected, certain disclaimers, agreements, opt-out opportunities, etc. must be in place in order to refrain from attracting legal attention. Cookies must be handled delicately as well, especially if they utilized to track users on our shopping platform. When a user deletes his or her cookies, that user should become a new user on our network. Holding onto a user’s cookies against his...

...Service Request SR-kf-013 Paper Kudler Fine Foods is a gourmet food shop design to be a one stop shop for cooking ingredients and tools. The company is interested in developing a system to track customer purchases through a frequent shopper program. Customers will be awarded points toward free item and discounts. The program will provide data gathered from purchasing behaviors to help streamline processes, satisfy customers, develop a closer relationship with each member, and foster a stable platform for efficiency in operations. In this paper I will discuss the potential legal, ethical, and specific costs related to the issues of developing a frequent shopper program. Finally, I will discuss how this information system has an effect on the organizational structure. The loyalty rewards program has many benefits to both the customer and the company; however, there are legal concerns that must be addressed. Membership will begin on a sign-up basis. Customers who want a membership will provide personal information and be subjected to legal terms, privacy agreements, and security policies. Sensitive data is collected at different times in conjunction with loyalty programs. The first instance is created during the loyalty card application. The second instance develops when purchases are recorded, and finally when the spending histories are recorded; creating a consumer profile. Kudler has illustrated what information it will collect in the Database Diagram – PNG under customer...

.... Alternatively this would give customers the opportunity to receive points from their past purchases geared toward rewards products. According to the Kudler’s sales and marketing departments research this type of system will increase revenue and cost reduction for Kudler. Kudler identifies that knowing exactly what the customers purchasing habits, supply needs, and preferences are would enable Kudler to purchase only what will be sold. Therefore, it will stop Kudler from stocking on items that do not sell and are not attractive to the customer. Kudler has different types of options on how they could advertise the new shoppers program. Because these types of programs are commonplace within any market, Kudler needs to develop a complete database system, with including current and former customers. This database is used specifically for advertising of the new program and data collection of sales. Kudler would need to update or create a new website to add this new program and help customers understand the benefits of registering for the program. Legally Kudler needs to stay within the boundaries set up for E-commerce. The rules for online business and e-mail advertisement are very far-reaching some of which include an opt-out link that allows any consumer to stop receiving e-mail advertisements. This must be easily viewable and verifiable to the recipient for online spam advertisement. Electronic contracts are legal and binding along with electronic signatures, these...

...Manufacturing (TMM) faces increasing problems with its seat supply. TMM’s single seat supplier, Kentucky Framed Seat (KFS), is responsible for the majority of the problems with material flaws and missing parts as the major encountered defects. These problems are increasingly occurring with an increase in varieties of and demand for the seats. Toyota currently addresses these problems offline; however, this is a deviation from the policies and procedures under the Toyota Production System (TPS). Now, as TMM ramps up for the production of the Camry Wagon, it must address the seat issue before seriously impacting production performance. We recommend the following major measures to overcome these problems: Immediate * Send TMM Quality Control (QC) people to KFS to identify and correct the source of the problem. * Place a QC person at the seat arrival dock to check for defects before sending seats to the line. * Continue fixing seat defects off line. It is too expensive to stop the line. * Assign employees to be responsible that correct replacement seats are procured in a timely manner. Long Term * Improve internal communication within Toyota, specifically between the Japanese design engineers and US manufacturing. * Decrease seat variety. * Implement TPS processes at the KFS factory. Fujio Cho pronounced this to be the next step for TMM. KFS is a logical first supplier to implement Toyota’s methods of production. ANALYSIS Ideally, Toyota corrects...

...A collision occurs when two objects collide together creating an external force that is either zero or smaller. The goals of this lab were to find out what happens to the linear momentum and kinetic energy of different objects when they collide. Also, what happens to the momentum and kinetic energy in a completely inelastic collision and perfectly elastic collision? For completely inelastic collision the linear momentum should be conserved, but the kinetic energy should not be conserved. On the other hand, the linear momentum and the kinetic energy should both be conserved during perfectly elastic collision. Kf / Ko should equal one for perfectly elastic collision and, it should equal the mass of 1 divided by the sum of the mass 1 and 2 for...
