Contextual design is a flexible software design approach that collects multiple customer-centered techniques into an integrated design process [7]. The approach is centered around contextual inquiry sessions in which detailed information is gathered about the way individual people work and use systems and the associated information flow. The data from each contextual inquiry session are used to create sequence models that map the exact workflow in a session along with any information breakdowns, flow models that detail the flow of information between parties and systems (much akin to but less formal...

Some steps have already been taken in the chemical industry during the deep restructuring of the 90s, many players changed their organization from a functional to a customer and market orientation and, at that time, some also abandoned the traditional focus on simple functional excellence in manufacturing or logistics, and developed a more customer-centered and integrated approach to their operations. These companies have discovered the potential benefits for all company stakeholders inherent in SCM.

The customer-centered culture is one of the pillars of any quality program in any organization. Gaining and maintaining a full understanding of market issues and the needs of external and internal customers is demanding in terms of resources and the process has to be continuous. 

Experience of suppliers and customers plays an important role in an SC. In particular, customer experience management (CEM) will become a major issue in e-SC because the latter is a customer-centered service in the Internet world (Sun Lau, 2006). Further customer experience is a prerequisite for customer satisfaction in SC, which is highly dependent on the flexibility of the SC, such as its ability to respond to ehanges in demand. Because the selection and interaction space of customers in e-SC is theoretically infinite, how to manage customer experience in e-SC also becomes a significant issue for any e-SC providers.

As the result of a mix-up at a distribution center, two tank track drivers received each other s papers. One of the trucks carried a load of sodium chlorite solution, and the other carried epichlorohydrin. The chlorite truck went to the customer who was expecting epichlorohydrin and was off-loaded into a tank that already contained some epichlorohydrin. The result was an explosion and a serious fire fumes and smoke led to the closure of the bridges over the Severn Estuary. UK [12, 13].

Another approach is the use of facsimile (fax) transmission to a dedicated computer equipped with software such Teleform software that can be customized to fit the needs of the clinical trial. Scannable forms are designed with specialized software and distributed to the participating sites to complete. SCs are equipped with fax machines to fax the completed forms to the central location. Advantages of this technology include the speed at which forms can be sent to a coordinating center and the fact that fax communications are very much standardized. Its drawbacks include the discipline required in form development and transmission. 

Flaving had over 150 years of technical development behind them, lead-acid batteries can be custom-tailored to specific applications, such as those requiring deep discharge cycles (e.g., where the batteries are used as the sole power source for electrical equipment) and for battery backup uses such as in large uninterruptible power supply systems in data centers. Moreover, lead-acid cells not only have low internal resistance but also experience no memory effect as do some more exotic cell designs, such as NiCads. This enables these cells to produce enormous currents and have a moderately long, predictable life.1... 

Alternately, consumer products could be shipped en masse to distribution centers located near the population centers. From here they would be shipped by truck to individual customers. This type of facility has sales advantages. The retailer can be guaranteed that his order will be delivered within 24 hours after its receipt. This allows him to provide excellent customer service with a small warehouse. These centers could receive bulk quantities, but then each one would have to package the product. This would mean a duplication of packaging facilities. 

FTIR spectra were collected with a Nicolet 740 spectrometer and a custom built in situ gas flow cell. The spectrometer was equipped with a MCT-B detector cooled by liquid nitrogen. Approximately 15 mg of the MgO catalyst sample was pressed into a self-supported disc and placed in a sample holder located at the center of the cell. The temperature in the cell was measured with a thermocouple placed close to the catalyst sample. Transmission spectra were collected in a single beam mode with a resolution of 2 cm 1.
