The waste audit program is Intended to provide assistance to California s small quantity generators of hazardous waste. This is accomplished by issuing contracts to evaluate waate reduction opportunities in industries typically comprised of small to medium businesses. Waste-generating operations are studied to identify potentials for reducing waste, recycling or recovering resources, or alternative treatment measures. The economic feasibilities of the various alternatives are analyzed, and the study results are compiled in a final waste audit report. 

Often, the manager sets up a periodic inspection schedule to aid in inventory control. In this modified visual inspection, the inventory manager routinely inspects designated inventory levels, e.g., on a daily or weekly basis, to determine whether an order should be placed. This routine examination of inventory minimizes the potential for stockouts and can potentially improve inventory control. This is a fixed-time reorder system, in which the quantity ordered might vary but the date of ordering remains the same. This is ideal for small to medium businesses for whom a prime vendor is the main supply source and the true volume of activity can be determined easily. 

Russian experience demonstrates that for the purpose it would be preferable to have two compatible and overlapping systems of chemical safety a scientifically-based rather sophisticated system to be used for occupational and environmental health monitoring and intended for use by health professionals and a simplified system for small and medium business like Control Banding that is under development by ILO and WHO. The international cooperation in the field seems to be very useful. 

French plastiugy is a growing business which embraces all industrial sectors. Today it ranks fourth in the world and second in Europe with 4,500 thousand totrs of products, representing a turnover of 29 billion euros, with a qitarler for export. It employs more than 140,000 employees in 3,850 eompanies, of which more than 90% being small and medium businesses [LAPaj. 

And the diversity of business systems is expressed in small and medium business. Therefore the optimal criteria of the more qualitative business are defined by the maximum value of their entropy S = 6.47 (in relative units). 

Actually the more is p, the more probable is the formation of stable ordered structures (e.g., the formation of solid solutions), that is, the less is the process entropy. But also the less is coefficient a. Moreover, the values of coefficient a for a high degree of structural interactions (up to 7%) additively coincide with the entropy values for small and medium business. Such regularity in the value changes is also preserved further for the limited degree of structural interactions coefficient a rises sharply and similarly does the value S during the transition from the medium to large business. 

The output supports the partnering companies in their individual analysis of their supply chain risks, gives them a nseful evaluation of existing SCRM practices and offers recommendations for improving their SCRM. Furthermore, the developed stractured methodology will also be valuable for other companies, especially small-medium businesses, by providing them with a stractured approach to SCRM.

Business-to-business - mentors with corporate managerial expertise are matched to the needs of owner-managers of small and medium-sized enterprises. Typically, the mentors focus on supporting mentees to enhance clarity and effectiveness in business. 

All lasers have the following three fundamental components (see Figure 1). The gain medium, the business end of the laser, is the medium in which excited states are created which will produce stimulated emission. The exciter is the source of energy for production of the excited states in the gain medium. Finally, the optical resonator determines the directionality, wavelength selectivity, optical feedback, polarization, and other characteristics of the stimulated emission from the gain medium. 

Here, it can bee seen that system modules are not directly matched to process structures defined in the Supply Chain Planning Matrix. Also, the asymmetry between market facing parts of procurement and sales are not intuitive. However, APS extend the perspective on business applications extending the classical tasks of ERP and transactional systems to a management and planning level. With APS implemented in multiple industries and validated specifically in the process industry (Schaub/Zeier 2003) or also for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) (Friedrich 2000), importance will further grow. 

Most household and entertainment appliances are mass-production goods that are sold by the million. Production of business or office appliances varies from small series (shredders, for example) to medium or high series (PCs and other computers). Prices are very varied from a few tens of euros up to thousands of euros and more. Table 2.35 provides an idea of the economic importance of some typical devices. 

In the case of chemical products with a medium level of specialisation for use in industries with a small stmcture and limited user know-how, e.g. in the case of cooling lubricants, metal cleaners and strippers, the (chemicals) business plays a key role for product marketing and also for informing and advising users. There is a high level of user retention to their particular supphers. In some cases such retention even exists between certain persons. The willingness for iimovation or inertia for innovation is determined quite extensively by the industry. 

A modern alchemy succeeds where the old failed. The ancients of the Middle Ages [sic] were never able to change lead into gold, but the medium of electronics turns magnetized particles (bits) into money-like value. Money seems for a time to be conjured out of nothingness, to be returned to nothingness either quickly or at an indeterminate moment.. . . Nor do we know, at this time, whether people will even want to do—and pay in this manner for— much significant business on the Internet. We don t yet have a do-it-yourself... 

The structure of the pharma industry (see Section 11.1 and Table 11.1) serves as basis for identifying which customer categories should be served. Each of them—big, medium, and small pharma—has advantages and disadvantages (see Table 12.6). In terms of potential business volume, big pharma ...

Since chemical products provide a broad variety of services such as "cleaning", "coating", "colouring" and "greasing" the ChL model is applicable in a multitude of industry sectors. In addition ChL is applicable to large companies just as to small and medium enterprises. Based on the experiences obtained to date, ChL business models have the greatest success when applied to processes that are not yet optimised with regard to chemicals consumption. 

The size pattern of those enterprises in the industry deviates significantly from that of the business enterprises. While in Austria s industrial sector 45.5% of the companies are counted as very small ones (maximum 9 employees), in the business enterprise - related segment that number is almost double (86.4%). Roughly one quarter of the industrial companies are small ones (10 to 49 employees) and one fifth are medium sized ones (50 to 249 employees).
