- Please help me in proofreading it. Thank you For materials handling, the best practices are considered the most effective ways for material movement and manipulation in order to maximize the productivity and bringing down costs. Some of the best practices are identified as follow: According to materials handling “Automation” principle, use automation where is possible, it helps to enhance operation efficiency, improve reliability and forecasting. Using automated systems along with technology such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and barcodes for product identification. Barcodes being more popular in most warehouses while RFID tag can keep more much information of the product and can be modified and read in practically anywhere within the warehouse as the material moves in different areas. Both technologies can help in reducing material location time and minimizing information entry errors. When is about cost-effective solutions for material handling automation is the Automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS). These computer-controlled systems can improve significantly the material storage and picking activities, minimizing material misplace, picking issues and human intervention. Although AS/RS implies a high initial capital investment, with the correct applications, it can be vastly cost effective. In a fast-paced environment such as a warehouse, a best practice of put-away process is moving the material directly from the receiving to its final storage, replenish or pick up position. As a result, space utilization will improve by eliminating material congestion, reducing operation errors and materials tend to be less prone to damage. For an effective material handling during the put-away process require a more complex Warehouse Management System (WMS) to allocate material its location and automated conveyors which can sort the material by area or location. Another best practice in material handling is cross docking implementation. This method can accelerate operations and reduce inventory handling tasks by moving required good orders to the shipping dock without additional storage in the warehouse. This best practice will bring down the material handling costs and order cycle time.November 8, 201901
- Can someone help me to proodread the following texts. Thank you Communication styles A typical Canadian would extremely care about personal space and boundary; it makes them look like very serious people. They actually are friendly and welcoming, although topics such as personal incomes, family situation, health, etc. would never be discussed in the first meet, this may change when people get along better. When having a face to face conversation with Canadians, they would avoid any physical contact besides shaking hands to each other (Quebecers differ to rest of the Canadians, kisses on check and more affections when greeting are common for them). An appropriate distance should be kept, or when queuing, certain space should maintain (at least 14 inches). Eye contact is a significant form to show respect and honesty when someone is speaking. Moving the hands excessively when conversing is also irritating for among Canadian, although they expect people of other cultures do it. Punctuality and Formality Canadian workplaces usually have a relax environment, thus, formal dress code and formality is unnecessary. However, wearing shorts for men and low-cut clothes for women is not appropriate for office workers. Canadians would highly appreciate that someone being punctual, especially when meet for the first time (normally 5 to 10 minutes earlier). Unpunctuality is not well received in a workplace unless there is a justifiable reason. The way they speak is quite straightforward but not aggressive to avoid misunderstanding. They address each other by their first name, though is preferable to refer one´s boss as Mr. or Ms. and that person last name. Relationship-building There are many ways to build a good relationship depending on the type of people to deal with. People tend to have a meal in a restaurant, and the host tends to cover the cost, although most of the Canadians would cover their own costs. Canadians not usually invite people over their home until they consider the relation with the other person is trustful. Creating a friendly atmosphere in an organization is important to run the operations smoothly, independently the position that one has, always is a good opening to greet each other or initiate a small talk before a meeting starts to break the ice.October 19, 201910

- IELTS Essay. Could you correct my essay? Thank you Topic: Universities should be concerned with educating people so that they have wide general knowledge and be able to consider important matters from an informed viewpoint, and not simply prepare students for jobs required by society. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Essay: The knowledge that the superior-level institutions teach to their students has awared people´s concern recently. They argue the formation that the students learn in school should be consider general information, then they are able to discuss about relevant issues and give their opinion rather the just preparing them for the positions that actual market demands. This essay will discuss both points of views also, giving explanation and examples why the idea of training students for positions that the workplaces require are a more reasonable. It is logic the way to think students should be prepared for general knowledge in order to give their opinion about to diverse topics. In order to do it, school should get its pupils involved in several fields. For example, adding optional courses such as debates about actual social issues. This way, the individual would be able to develop their interests of the problems that are facing nowadays in our society. On the other hand, learning general knowledge definitely will not help peoples in universities to get a better job, that is the main matter that the school has to be focused on, achieve the highest rate of graduates finding a job. Because is useless that people are well prepared in different fields if it cannot apply it to get employed with decent incomes. For instance, most of the universities in China are offering and preparing their students base on the necessity employees that either international or local companies. Subjects such as engineering and finance are given priorities instead of management or general formation, that is the actual market is demanding indeed. In conclusion, general knowledge is encouraged to apply in universities and not only specific one that the companies ask for. However, the real demand of employment is actually given by society. Therefore, schools which is given the preparation to students for those specific fields are reasonably right.May 20, 201960
- Please help me in prooreading my essay. thank you Smarphones has become one of the most common necessities in the daily life. There are arguments the using these devices make people lest intelligent due to they are increasing their dependence on its technologies and not their brain. This essay will give the reason as to why this I totally agree with this idea. People are losing their mathematical abilities because of usage of cellphones technology. Nowadays, people tend to use this device a lot to make most of digital activities; it is not an exception for arithmetic operations. A report showed than in Mexico the majority of the high school students rely so much on their smartphones even to make some simple calculations. The youth argue they are no longer able to solve simple operation using their logic reasoning because there are already get use to using the gadget with technology. With this evidence is clear people are losing part of their skills because of the technology. Moreover, organization issues are evident as well because of technology. People make lots of mistakes when they do not count with a cellphone. For example, office workers most of times have the agenda done in this small device, such as meetings, visits, trips, etcetera due to the busy schedule they have, memorize all the events are not possible. There is a survey that was carried out in England, asking 100 administrative employees about how would have been a day in the office without a smallphone to do plan of activities, and the almost 100% of them commented that their memory would have collapsed. This is another argument showing the technology has an unfavorable effect on people. In conclusion, human intelligence is decreasing as the consequence of the technology development. This essay argued the negative impacts of the smartphones usage on one´s life are actually real.May 16, 201980
