My wife and I had long dreamed of traveling to Alaska. I retired in 2006, we purchased a motor home in 2007, and in 2008 we made our dream come true. You can too! This book recounts our 5-month long, 8,700-mile trip from Milwaukee to Fairbanks and back in day-by-day detail. It tells of the amazing sights we saw and the surprises we found, both positive and negative. It includes several humorous tales of the road and describes some mistakes we made and things we wish we had done better. It is, in summary, the book I wish I had been able to read before we left home. The book provides maps that show where we went and includes over 230 photographs of our journey. It discusses the preparations we made and discloses not only our budget for the trip, but the amounts we actually spent and what we spent them on. And at the back, it lists the places we went and the campgrounds we used together with available addresses, phone numbers, websites and geo coordinates.

The Studebaker Bibliography was developed with the intent of cataloging as much as possible of the available Studebaker literature. Our goal was to make information accessible to current and future historians as well as casual readers. The bibliography lists 321 books (both fiction and nonfiction), 1,784 magazine articles and 2,768 newspaper articles. All are related to the Studebaker Corporation, its founders, officers, employees, dealers, subsidiaries, or vehicles, and nearly all of it is available free (or inexpensively) from your local library's interlibrary loan program!

This briefing is based on thirty years experience in the installation, servicing and operation of supply chain software. It was written for the executive, manager or engineer considering installation of a warehouse management system. It may also have special value to those who are considering a replacement of their present system. We begin with the purpose of warehouse management systems and a description of their costs and benefits. The build-versus-buy choice is discussed. Organizational impact and the short and long-term effect on customers are described. The book then moves into a discussion of how to buy a WMS, the project team that must be assembled, the marketplace for commercial systems, the types of systems available and how to go about choosing among them, the creation of a Request for Proposal and the evaluation of responses. It ends with a methodology for justifying/funding a system and concludes with discussions of installation and ongoing operation and maintenance.

What to measure? How can the value of a measurement be balanced against the cost of performing it? How can the needs of different organizations requiring similar measures of the same thing be reconciled and those needs be met efficiently? What are the implementation issues? How can redundant measures be simplified? This executive briefing discusses these questions and outlines a catalog of more than eighty measurements for consideration. Some of the cataloged measurements are common, some are industry-specific, and some have unique and special purposes. Each measurement is discussed in terms of its usefulness and application. Implementation difficulties are reviewed and the executive is cautioned where inaccuracies may result from assumptions made by implementers. A review of the list may suggest metrics that should be considered for implementation, may help users avoid the GIGO syndrome, and may reduce business complexity by pointing out duplication in existing work.

This engineering guide is intended as an introduction for senior management and process engineers in the logistics, manufacturing and distribution industries. It explains what can and what cannot be accomplished with a program of cycle counting. It describes how cycle counting should be structured and how it should fit into the organization. It reviews the math required to determine the optimum level of cycle counting and lays out a sample cycle counting program that includes the training required, both for the workers who actually perform the counts and for the supervisors who direct them and use the results.It discusses the reasons why full physical inventories may be necessary, the problems associated with accuracy, and the circumstances under which they can be eliminated. It reviews inventory-taking processes and discusses training and auditing requirements and can serve as a guide for the auditors and supervisors who specify and control the process.

Many of today's books for middle-grade children feature monsters and magic, but few relate to the unique challenges of growing up on a ranch in today's West. It is difficult to find a novel that models life lessons even as it keeps the reader engaged. Winnemucca author Jan Young does both in her first novel, The Orange Slipknot (Raven Publishing), geared especially to boys. A childish prank, Ben's GREAT IDEA, gets him into serious trouble with both his father and Fred, the crusty old cow boss on the Nevada ranch where Ben's dad cowboys. Ben must prove he can take responsibility for his actions. Even the reluctant reader will find in twelve-year-old Ben a hero to whom he can relate, and will be captivated by his adventures as he tries to walk in his father s footsteps. As Ben encounters stampeding horses, a mountain lion, and snow-covered hairpin-turns down a mountain road, the reader will learn about the culture of the buckaroos living and working in the Great Basin region of the western United States today.
