Facility Layout and Work Flow
| |
| Facility layout is not the first step, but the last action to take to position equipment, processes and people in a building. First create the right work flow, then the layout easily follows. Your organization is different from others; products, equipment, processes, building shape, routing, inventory practice. Your work flow and subsequent layout will also be different.

How To Keep Your Business Afloat
| |
| I was talking with my good friend Doug Maurer the other day. Doug is the founder and owner of Brian-Kyles Construction, which is a landscaping company based in Northeast Ohio.
Doug was talking with me about a plant in my front yard that wasn't doing so well. He was explaining how I should cut the shrub down to its base to re-balance the plant so the roots were larger than the plant itself. And then he said a magical quote, "plants don't want to die."
It got me to thinking about how businesses are a lot like plants. Businesses don't want to die either. This is particularly true of small businesses. |

Why Unique Content is Important
| |
| Too much similarity between pages within a site confuses the search engines. If the customer is willing to click-through onto different pages, at least give them something new to read or skim through. A lot of people in general fall into the trap of placing an uneven emphasis on the architectural layout as opposed to an even balance between layout and the actual content, providing problems with overall usability. |

Is It Time to Rebuild America's Middle Class
| |
| While the Ford Motor Company is certainly associated with Detroit, Ford also cranked out cars in Pittsburgh, PA, reports Mike Farrell with aspenIbiz.
