Product availability level

Another survey - this time of over 300 organisations in the United States -probed integration between marketing and logistics functions within a focal firm (Stank et ah, 1999). More frequent integrative behaviour between marketing and logistics resulted in better performance and better interdepartmental effectiveness. This may seem obvious, but the improvements in performance included cycle time reduction, better in-stock performance, increased product availability levels, and improvements in order-to-delivery lead times. 

LEVEL OF PRODUCT AVAILABILITY Level of product availability is the fraction of demand that is served on time from product held in inventory. A high level of product availability provides a high level of responsiveness but increases cost because much inventory is held but rarely used. In contrast, a low level of product availabihty lowers inventory holding cost but results in a higher fraction of customers who are not served on time. The basic trade-off when determining the level of product availability is between the cost of inventory to inCTease product availability and the loss from not serving customers on time. 

Self-leveling These are generally based on solvent-free epoxy and there are a number of proprietary products available. Generally, they are 3-8 mm thick, but if the base floor is too rough, it is advisable to first level this with a cement/resin screed. 

Before addressing the question of the health impacts of radon and its decay products, the levels that have been found in indoor air will be reviewed. During the past decade, there has been an increasing number of surveys on the concentrations of airborne radioactivity in homes and other structures. A number of systematic national surveys have been conducted during the past five years so that there is substantial information available on radon concentrations in many European countries and Canada. A summary of these studies is presented in Table II. 

An availability level is recorded for each Product this is the number of items available in stock that have not been earmarked for a SalesOrder. Any operation that adds a new Salesltem also reduces the availability of the relevant Product ... 

These types of carbon blacks are characferized by particularly high surface area (50-1,500 m g i)-fo-volume rafios and have much lower impurity levels. However, despite the many black products available, only a small number have been reported for fuel cell use (XC72, BP2000, Ketjen EC300J). Currently,... 

To guarantee a high level of health protection for EU citizens, in particular, by making safe, innovative products available to patients as quickly as possible. 

The elimination of thorium is of prime importance to Rhone-Poulenc and we have done a considerable amount of research to find a solution to this problem. Actually, the thorium level of our rare earth product is comparable to, if not better than, that of other products available on the market. Most of the time thorium is not even detectable. 

There are two protein replacement products available for A1AD, both pooled human plasma donor-derived products. Approval of these products was based upon replacement of serum AAT to the above-mentioned levels. Neither has been proven to prevent lung disease in a prospective, double-blinded placebo-controlled fashion, but retrospective registry data suggest a beneficial effect. However, protein replacement therapy has been very safe. Particularly remarkable has been the lack of an adaptive immune response by patients on therapy, which may relate to the genetic homogeneity of this A1AD population, in which approximately 95% have one particular missense mutant allele (PI Z). 

Corn is the only feedstock that would be available in sufficient supply to support production of 40 million gal of ethanol, given current production levels. The current production of grain corn in California is 920,000 t, while the estimated requirement is for 449,4381 (Table 1). The proportions of supply that would be available for other feedstocks range from 5% for other tree fruit to 25% for raisins. The production, availability, and prices of feedstocks would change with farm-level and industry responses to public policies and market developments that influence the demand for ethanol production. 

Using an ideal cycle and available levels of temperatures Tm, Th and Th it is possible to estimate theoretical maximal differences of temperatures of heating and cooling of hydride from average temperature with reference to problems of a heat transformation and production of a cold ... 

Typical applications for IMP and GMP are soups, sauces, dressings, ready-to-eat meals, meat and fish products, snacks, and vegetable products. Usage levels range from 0.001 to 0.150 % in finished food (Tab. 3.47). A 1 1 mixture of IMP and GMP is commercially available and extensively used (Tab. 3.47), although there is a current trend to use GMP only because of its stronger umami effect [8]. The taste threshold of the IMP/GMP mixture (1 1) is reported to be 60 ppm [2]. 

It is an exciting time for natural products chemistry. Analytical tools are now available that significantly reduce the amount of sample needed for structure determination. Studies that required heroic efforts and years to isolate enough material for NMR spectroscopic analysis a few decades ago can now be done with two, three, or more orders of magnitude less material today. This not only makes natural products research much more efficient, more importantly, it opens up possibilities for entirely new lines of scientific inquiry, involving individual variation, population chemical biology, and much more extensive examination of the influence of genetic or environmental factors in natural product expression levels.
