Market vendors

It shows concisely the existing vendor capacities for the raw material, planned expansions or new producers, demands for other uses, and demand within the analyst s company. In some cases, the report includes a wodd supply and demand balance. A key objective of a purchase profile report is to make the buyer as well informed as the marketing manager of the seller. If this is achieved, the buyer can often secure a beneficial purchase contract. 

Industrial Uses. Large industrial faciUties, particularly those using cyclone boilers or fluidized-bed boilers, are potential markets. In addition, several vendors of small- and medium-sized industrial energy and steam faciUties are marketing units capable of using I DE. As the availabiUty of I DE expands with new producers entering the market, it is hoped that the industrial use of I DE will also expand (7). 

Raw material costs should be estimated by direct computation from flow rates and material prices. The flow rates are deterrnined from flow sheet material balances. The unit prices are obtained from vendors, company purchasing departments, or the Chemical Marketing Reporter. For captive raw materials produced internally, a suitable transfer price must be estabHshed. Initial catalyst charges can be treated as a start-up expense, working capital component, or depreciable capital, depending on the expected catalyst life and cost. Makeup catalyst is frequendy treated as a raw material. 

A key reason why MFC has become a major commercial and technical success is that there are numerous vendors who are licensed to market MFC products and install them on a turnkey basis. Consequently, even medium-sized companies are able to take advantage of this new technology. Fayout times of 3-12 months have been reported. 

The Chemical Marketing Reporter tabulates the current list price for many chemicals. These prices, like off the cuff estimates from vendors, tend to be conservative. The European Chemical News also publishes chemical prices for many places in the world. These prices are sometimes better to use for raw materials. 

The second section covers Treliminary List of Computer Applications and Systems of Potential Use Under SARA Title III" and contains a list of computer systems applicable to local planning. The list is not anticipated to be fully comprehensive of the environmental computer systems market nor is it intended to act as an endorsement for any of the listed systems. The list is only intended to serve an initial reference source. Vendor names, addresses, and phone numbers have been provided it is essential that the vendor be contacted to obtain current cost capability, availability, and limitation information for any system of interest. 

Changes to environmental computer applications occur rapidly, therefore, the list cannot remain current. New systems are being developed, vendors move or go out of business, and identified systems are being updated, sold to other vendors, tailored to new markets, or discontinued. 

In addition to providing some control of price risk, futures and options markets are also very useful mechanisms for price discovery and for gauging market sentiment. There is a world-wide need for accurate, real-time information about the prices established through futures and options trading, that is, a need for price transparency. Exchange prices are simultaneously transmitted around the world via a network of information vendors terminal seiwices directly to clients, thereby allowing users to follow the market in real time wherever they may be. Energy futures prices are also widely reported in the financial press. These markets thus enable an open, equitable and competitive environment. 

There are a variety of chemicals that are toxic and used in the drilling fluid makeup. Chromates and asbestos were once commonly used and are now off the market. A mud inventory should be kept for all drilling additives. Included in the inventory are the material safety data sheets (MSDS) that describe each material s pertinent characteristics. The chemicals found on the MSDS sheet should be compared with the priority pollutants and any material should be eliminated if a match is found. The chemicals should also be checked on arrival for breakage and returned to the vendor if defective packaging is found. All mud additives should be housed in a dry area and properly cared for to prevent waste. Chemicals should always be mixed in packaged proportions. Wasted chemicals, ejected to the reserve pit by untrained personnel, can present future liabilities to the operator. 

Traditionally, the mix of pretreatment equipment required to meet a specific FW volume and quality specification is provided as a permanent installation under a capital project, although today there is a growing global market in outsourced water services. Typically, vendors such as Ecolochem, Inc., a world leader in this type of service, provide trailer-mounted, mobile water-processing equipment that can be... 

With the widespread commercialization of molecular modeling software in the 1980s, came both a boon and a bane to the computational chemist and pharmaceutical companies. The boon was that the software vendors sent marketing people to individual companies as well as to scientific meetings. The marketeers would extol the virtues of the programs they were pushing. 

As the twentieth century came to a close, the job market for computational chemists had recovered from the 1992-1994 debacle. In fact, demand for computational chemists leaped to new highs each year in the second half of the 1990s [135]. Most of the new jobs were in industry, and most of these industrial jobs were at pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical companies. As we noted at the beginning of this chapter, in 1960 there were essentially no computational chemists in industry. But 40 years later, perhaps well over half of all computational chemists were working in pharmaceutical laboratories. The outlook for computational chemistry is therefore very much linked to the health of the pharmaceutical industry itself. Forces that adversely affect pharmaceutical companies will have a negative effect on the scientists who work there as well as at auxiliary companies such as software vendors that develop programs and databases for use in drug discovery and development. 

Coffee is now sold and marketed from a wide variety of distributors and vendors. These include delis, coffee stores and cafes, discount retailers, mail order and catalog companies, gift stores, and markets. The Specialty Coffee Association of America has compiled statistics about the retail value of coffee sales over the past 30 years.44 In 1969, the value of specialty coffee sales were 44 million. By 1979, this grew to 763 million and nearly doubled to 1.5 billion by 1989. 

When considering the purchase of an automated IHC staining system, the challenge is that there are so many options from which to choose. How does one find the right system that best meets the needs (and the budget) for your unique laboratory Potential buyers in the market for an IHC automated staining system are encouraged to contact the individual vendors and ask them for an on-site laboratory demonstration of their equipment. The volume of... 

The network aspect in supply chains is illustrated by Shapiro where supply chain networks are composed by notes connected by transportation networks (Shapiro 2001, p. 6). Compared to Corsten, Shapiro extends the supply chain including many-to-many-relations between vendors, plants, distribution centers and markets. 

A market research firm administered by telephone, to each customer in the sample, a questionnaire. Interviewers introduced themselves as calling to solicit participation in a study of processed metal vendors.
