Golf Solutions Designed at Barnham Broom Golf Club in Norfolk

 Many sports tend to be biassed towards one sex or another. For example, football is a sport dominated by men and does not become much more masculine than rugby! On the other side of the fence, netball definitely falls into the women's category. However, there are some sports that share gender gracefully, which appeal to both men and women. Reddit live streaming Golf is undoubtedly one of these sports and has no age limits. Spread across courses in the UK you will find some unlikely groups of people bound by their love for this great outdoor sport. Some will play every day, while others will only play on the weekends, perhaps as a way to relieve the stress of a difficult week at the office. No golfer tends to join a club and membership packages vary widely in price. Most golf clubs simply offer standard packages with the assumption that one size fits all and offers a bit of flexibility.

Scenario Planning and Optimization in Integrated Business Planning Webinar

By utilizing a well-executed Integrated Business Planning process (IBP), companies can achieve cross-functional alignment, optimize costs and improve customer satisfaction. The need for both strategic and tactical agility is manifested in the ability to anticipate changes in demand and supply conditions, investigate ad-hoc scenarios and generate executable plans.

Integrated Business Planning process has extended the Sales & Operations Planning process and has now been the best practice in the industry. The process is led by senior management and aims to align company plans every month to allocate the critical resources - people, equipment, inventory, materials, time and money - to most effectively satisfy your customers, in a profitable way.

IBP is a complex process and unfortunately, many companies are trying to run it manually using spreadsheets with the help of their ERP or SCM software. To make this manual process practical, the companies does a lot of aggregation and abstraction and try to focus more on bottleneck resolution rather than optimization. The process also does not allow significant what-if-analysis (scenario planning).

There is actually a way to significantly automate and improve the IBP process with focus on speed, optimization and multiple scenario analysis : Mathematical optimization. This method is available since early 1940s but it was mostly a luxury for significantly large companies until recently. Now with the advances in computer technology and advanced planning and scheduling technologies, mathematical optimization can be applied to IBP process.

In the Scenario Planning and Optimization in Integrated Business Planning (IBP) webinar to discover how companies like ASML, Vestel and Trakya Cam are utilizing ICRON Advanced Planning and Scheduling to evaluate multiple scenarios, rapidly generate optimized plans and compare financial and operational KPIs to make informed decisions in their S&OP/IBP processes.

What is JEDOX?

Jedox is a Self Service Business Intelligence, Analytics and Performance Management platform developed by Jedox AG based in Freiburg im Breisgau/Germany. With a modular structure, JEDOX platform uses Microsoft Excel as its user interface on the one hand and a Jedox-specific spreadsheet on the other, both of which can be used in all common browsers.

The Black Death and how it changed Europe

 In the dark ages, religious dogma is the law, science is a cult that can be executed, and technology is considered the devil's masterpiece. History and public consciousness bear in mind the aforementioned features of the Dark Ages and the Crusades, which were only examples of the goals of European imperialism. However, there was another major event in the Dark Ages that greatly influenced modern culture in its own right. In fact, a widespread bacterial infection could be said to have a greater impact than most other events at the time. A small bacterial infection wiped out nearly half of Europe, setting off the invasion of the Mongol tribes of Genghis Khan. The same pandemic has left Europe in such a weakened state that it took almost a century for most major nations to recover. A small bacterial infection turned into a large-scale epidemic, spawning many heretical Christian groups, and indirectly leading to the formation of the Inquisition, which paralyzed the old world for deca...
