Download or read book The LTL Carrier s Profitability Blueprint written by Robert L Sullivan III and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-23 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most companies I work with are “managing by thrashabout,” as I call it. They are in this mode not because they cannot solve their problems, but because they cannot see their problems. They cannot see their problems because they are using outmoded traditional costing methodologies and cost-control methodologies. The LTL Carrier’s Profitability Blueprint provides the LTL carrier with a an outline and a plan of action that will allow the leadership of a company to better understand their company and its costs and build long-term, sustainable profitability into their organization, eliminating “management by thrashabout.” Leadership is the key! With the knowledge and confidence gained from reading and understanding the principles and concepts of the blueprint, leaders will be able to achieve at a higher level within their organizations.

Download or read book An Introduction to MultiAgent Systems written by Michael Wooldridge and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-06-22 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents interact with each other. These agents are considered to be autonomous entities such as software programs or robots. Their interactions can either be cooperative (for example as in an ant colony) or selfish (as in a free market economy). This book assumes only basic knowledge of algorithms and discrete maths, both of which are taught as standard in the first or second year of computer science degree programmes. A basic knowledge of artificial intelligence would useful to help understand some of the issues, but is not essential. The book’s main aims are: To introduce the student to the concept of agents and multi-agent systems, and the main applications for which they are appropriate To introduce the main issues surrounding the design of intelligent agents To introduce the main issues surrounding the design of a multi-agent society To introduce a number of typical applications for agent technology After reading the book the student should understand: The notion of an agent, how agents are distinct from other software paradigms (e.g. objects) and the characteristics of applications that lend themselves to agent-oriented software The key issues associated with constructing agents capable of intelligent autonomous action and the main approaches taken to developing such agents The key issues in designing societies of agents that can effectively cooperate in order to solve problems, including an understanding of the key types of multi-agent interactions possible in such systems The main application areas of agent-based systems

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bedingt durch das Internetzeitalter verlagert sich die Marktmacht mehr und mehr Richtung Verbraucher. Dadurch werden Unternehmen gezwungen, ihre Preise niedrig zu halten, wenn sie weiterhin wettbewerbsfähig bleiben und ihre Gewinne steigern wollen. Die Zauberformel, für die Verwirklichung dieses Ziels heisst: 'Activity-Based Costing and Management' (ABC/M) - das sich aus Prozesskostenrechung und Prozesskosten-Management zusammensetzt. Es liefert die Daten, mit deren Hilfe die beiden kritischen Managementstrategien - niedrige Preise und höhere Gewinne - erfolgreich umgesetzt werden können. Aber ABC/M liefert nicht nur ein genaueres Bild der Unternehmenskosten, sondern gleichzeitig wichtige Informationen, um bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen, höhere Gewinne zu erzielen und ein effektiveres Kostenmanagement zu betreiben. "Activity-Based Cost Management" ist ein praktischer Leitfaden, der speziell für Führungskräfte konzipiert wurde und anschaulich erklärt, wie ein ABC/M-Modell funktioniert, und wie man es schnell und problemlos in die Praxis umsetzt. Autor Gary Cokins, ein führender internationaler Experte auf diesem Gebiet, gibt Ihnen hier die Mittel an die Hand, ein effizientes ABC/M-Modell zu entwickeln und erfolgreich in Ihrem Unternehmen einzusetzen. Verständlich und unterhaltsam geschreiben. Ein maßgeblicher und unverzichtbarer Leitfaden zu einem topaktuellen Thema.

Download or read book Multiagent Systems second edition written by Gerhard Weiss and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of an introduction to multiagent systems that captures the state of the art in both theory and practice, suitable as textbook or reference. Multiagent systems are made up of multiple interacting intelligent agents—computational entities to some degree autonomous and able to cooperate, compete, communicate, act flexibly, and exercise control over their behavior within the frame of their objectives. They are the enabling technology for a wide range of advanced applications relying on distributed and parallel processing of data, information, and knowledge relevant in domains ranging from industrial manufacturing to e-commerce to health care. This book offers a state-of-the-art introduction to multiagent systems, covering the field in both breadth and depth, and treating both theory and practice. It is suitable for classroom use or independent study. This second edition has been completely revised, capturing the tremendous developments in multiagent systems since the first edition appeared in 1999. Sixteen of the book's seventeen chapters were written for this edition; all chapters are by leaders in the field, with each author contributing to the broad base of knowledge and experience on which the book rests. The book covers basic concepts of computational agency from the perspective of both individual agents and agent organizations; communication among agents; coordination among agents; distributed cognition; development and engineering of multiagent systems; and background knowledge in logics and game theory. Each chapter includes references, many illustrations and examples, and exercises of varying degrees of difficulty. The chapters and the overall book are designed to be self-contained and understandable without additional material. Supplemental resources are available on the book's Web site.

Download or read book Cloud Logistics written by Falco Jaekel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Falco Jaekel develops a reference architecture for cloud logistics systems. The reference architecture shows how to apply the principles and concepts of cloud computing (e.g. virtualization, service-orientation) to logistics system design and thus how to deliver certain physical logistics capabilities such as transport and storage with the essential cloud characteristics (e.g. on-demand, rapid elasticity, pay-per-use). Within certain scenarios, this innovative mode of delivery can reconcile logistics efficiency with effectiveness and thus may enable firms to achieve competitive advantage in dynamic environments.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study is concerned with the examination of the economic consequences of establishing multi-modal transportation companies. The purpose is to examine the economic impact various combinations of parameters or test factors have on a transportation company formed from single modal carriers, and to determine on the average which organizational form, transportation company or single modal carriers, is economically superior. A simulation model was developed for the comparison of a transportation company with single modal carriers. The test factors selected for analysis are: the operating ratios of truck and rail modes, the load factors of these modes, the amount of available capacity, and the level of shippers' logistics constraints.

Download or read book Profit First written by Mike Michalowicz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author of cult classics The Pumpkin Plan and The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur offers a simple, counterintuitive cash management solution that will help small businesses break out of the doom spiral and achieve instant profitability. Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that: · Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances. · A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line. · Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth. With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.
