Making a retail supply chain efficient enough to make it in today's hyper-competitive retail environment is very important. Any manager in a retail operation with responsibility for ordering inventory needs to make sure that the inventory is there but that it isn't clogging up the supply chain or taking up space in a warehouse. This costs money, and the point should be to save money these days.

Today, a retailer selling any sort of good needs to take steps to ensure that there are several different channels set up to ensure that those goods are obtained when needed and that customers have access to them. If a retailer can't do this, customers today quickly walk because they certainly have more than a few options for buying goods that they didn't have just a generation ago.

This should be looked upon as an unacceptable condition by any manager in a retail operation, let alone those managers with inventory control responsibility. The solution isn't to stock huge numbers of a good in a warehouse, though. What's really required is understanding how to take the supply chain, reconfigure it and make it perform efficiently along all points.

Retailers today have a myriad of challenges confronting them when it comes to changing over from traditional warehouse-inventory structures to far more economical and responsive supply chain management concepts that help them keep an optimal inventory level that is not only responsive but also cost-effective.

It's going to be very important that all people with supply input authority along the chain be on board with a single, integrated supply management program. If they're not, it can quite often be the case that somebody, somewhere along the line will take it upon themselves to order goods that might not really be required at the end-point.

Think about it; the chances are good that there are at least 10 managers or supervisors along a typical chain, each with independent 'purchase/no purchase' decision-making authority. Each works in a different functional unit, and each ' while well-meaning ' can quickly cause problems. Getting them communicating with each other efficiently will be the first step.

The key concept in such supply management is to make sure that all managers and supervisors in every functional unit along the way that has responsibility for inventory procurement and management is operating from the same playbook, so to speak. The first thing to do is to figure out who along the chain has such responsibilities, of course, which can be difficult but doable.

It's vital that retail managers today look at their retail supply and distribution chain and quickly make it work for them rather than the other way around. Reducing inventory control and storage costs is a quick way for a retailer to save significant money in a relatively short amount of time. Any retailer can be affected when there's too much inventory laying around or not enough of it, for a fact. Controlling it will be extremely crucial if success is to be ensured.

Effectively managing your retail supply chain is a critical component to running a healthy business. From logistics to inventory management, the supply chain is the lifeline of many business operations. Learning how to employ a lean supply chain ensures the staying power of your company.

Gao Embedded Rolls Out Update for Ti Dsp Evaluation Board - Gao 2812evm - II

GAO Embedded Rolls Out Update for TI DSP Evaluation Board - GAO 2812EVM - II

Toronto, ON, Jan. 2008 – GAO Embedded Inc. has introduced an upgrade to its TI Evaluation board. The newly developed board, GAO 2812EVM-II, is specially optimized for driving motors and control systems that are based on TMS320F2812 series DSPs. In addition, it uses an independent power supply for AD sampling thus avoiding EMI from the CPU core.

The new features and improvements to the GAO 2812EVM-II will aid rapid development. Further more, it can even be used as a control unit in a system.

Features include:

• On-board TMS320F2812 DSP, 32-bit fix-point Flash DSP, operating at 150Mhz

• 128K*16 bits on-chip Flash program memory, Flash encryptable

• 18K*16 bits on-chip SRAM

• 256 K*16 bits extended SRAM (basic configuration) (upgradable to 512K*16 bits)

• 512K*16 bits extended SRAM as program/data RAM

• 4K * 16 BOOT ROM and 1K * 16 OTP ROM on-chip

• 10M ethernet interface, compatible with NE2000

• 9 independent push button switches

• Eight LEDs, convenient for learning

• Power on reset & manual reset

• 1 RS-232 interface for PC communication

• 1 RS-485 interface

• 1 CAN2.0 provide interface

• 16 A / D inputs(12bit ,0-3v,80nS)

• 4 A / D outputs(12bit ,0-3v,80nS)

• 1 USB DEVICE interface, the USB standard to facilitate communication with the PC USB

• Audio input

• 12864 Chinese graphic LCD interface

• 1 DC motor control interface

• 1 stepper motor control interface

• 2 extended unshielded interrupt inputs

• 5 extended shielded interrupt inputs

• 8 digital input, 8 digital output

• On-board VL-Bus, data/address/control access terminals

• Provide CLK, CS2, CS2, CS6, RD, WR, CS1571, RS1581, EVA, EVB, IN1 ~ IN8, OUT1 ~ OUT8 signal testing points and debugging points

• Power supply through the jumpers can choose external power supply or power supply via the USB interface

• 4 graphic LCD fixed mounting hole

• 4 fixed mounting hole

• Interface/Driver circuit for DC motor and Servomotor

• Physical size: 220 * 160 mm

I would like to know if this power supply is compatable with this mother board?

my power supply is-

Technially yes, since it has an 12v 4-pin and a 20+4 for your atx v2.x spec. However why would you combine a low quality unit with a high-end motherboard?

It is not likely this unit can handle a 575W load and likely rated for max/peak wattage and is perhaps only a 300W unit at best.

I would get a unit that has better voltage regulation and can stand up to its rated power stated on the label.

This would be a better choice

SeaSonic SS-300ES 300W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151055
it can handle +12v@288w/24A http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/productimage/17-151-055-04.jpg

compare to the alleged logisys' +12v@25A max http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/productimage/17-170-017-17.jpg which will not be as stable as the Seasonic and likely to crash your system

The reason I focus on +12v max over total watts, both GPU and CPU need +12v power, and manufacturers are not as honest with their product (ahem - logisys...) and try to push off old ATXv1.3 units (that have unnecessary high +5v/+3.3v rails) as ATXv2.x - which is demonstrated with the 300w seasonic with +12v@288W compared to the logisys 575W with +12v@300w alleged max (and not likely handle it with stable volts)

cheers

Sugar Prices May Stabilize as Demand Outpaces Supply (Update1)
March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Sugar will probably stabilize, after plunging by almost half in two months, as import demand outpaces global supply, Thailand’s Office of the Cane and Sugar Board said.
