viastore SYSTEMS, a leading material handling automation systems and software company, released a whitepaper titled, "Intelligent Systems to Keep the Cold Constant, the Quality High and Energy Use Low." The energy saving potential in frozen storage warehouses and logistics centers is high. The key is to look at an entire solution, not just the effectiveness of single products. An intelligent management system avoids unnecessary goods movements and saves energy. To ensure efficient and economical operations, it is also possible to install energy saving drives, braking technology that recirculates energy back into the system, efficient design processes, and preplanned suitable packaging sizes to make better use of truck cargo capacity.

Test items can be accommodated in the following online formats; Multiple-choice, True/False, Matching, and Essay. Instructors can view student essay answers immediately upon test completion and provide feedback found within the 'teacher comment' field to determine proficiency.

The ability to provide individualization and promote student growth should be of paramount importance." says John Clark, the spokesperson for the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based company.

Daily management decisions related to equipment downtime are made based primarily on labor cost. Of course, production demand is also at the top of the priority list too. The bottlenecks are taken into account in the decisions when they are realized. Some facilities overlook equipment as a bottleneck, like air compressors, boilers, and strappers out in the warehouse. The decision making balance to maintain is between production demand and "True Downtime Cost", not primarily production demand and direct labor cost.
