Hardware stores have faced challenges from big box home centers but still account for 12.4% of the $308 billion home improvement market. While the number of hardware stores has declined in recent decades, industry revenue increased in 2013 and is expected to continue growing. Hardware stores perform services like tool rentals and sell products like security and sporting goods to supplement traditional offerings and drive revenue. They utilize both traditional and digital advertising methods to reach customers.

METHANOL PLANT - SHALE GAS FEED PRETREATMENT
CASE STUDY #091406
Case Background
A Methanol plant operator would like to examine the technical feasibility of using Shale Gas as a feedstock to their Methanol plant.
The first step in the Methanol production process is gas pretreatment. The purpose of gas pretreatment is to make the gas suitable for the downstream processes. There are two groups of compounds that are usually present in natural gas and that should be removed during pretreatment—the associate NGL and the sulfur-containing compounds. Some natural gas reservoirs may also have other trace components that must be removed, but these are not discussed here.
This case study examines the impact of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) on the pre-treatment section design, performance and efficiency of ACME Methanol Plant’ feed gas pre-treatment section.
Case 1: Normal Shale Gas
Case 2: “Bad Gas”
Case 3: Low CO2
Case 4: High CO2
Every industry is becoming data driven, built around its information systems. Nowhere is this more evident than in retail where customer data is pivoting to flow across the traditional customer touchpoints and retailers are creating organizational structures that are responsible for the customer experience across traditional functional silos.
The document evaluates options to increase the capacity of an NP plant's prilling section from 62.5 tons per hour to the target capacity. Key areas identified are the prilling bucket design basis of 1500 tons per day, overflow issues, and fan capacity. Modifying parameters like the bucket diameter, height, angular velocity, hole diameter, number of holes, step height, and pitch are proposed to increase throughput while minimizing jet velocities and droplet sizes. Next steps include designing a modified prilling bucket, trial runs, and references on prilling dynamics and ammonium nitrate properties.
The document discusses retailing in India and Mumbai specifically. It notes that retailing accounts for 35% of India's GDP but only 4% is organized. Mumbai is a major commercial and entertainment center, with both unorganized markets like kirana stores and organized retail like shopping malls and concept stores. Key differences between kirana stores and department/supermarket stores are also outlined. Specific retail formats in Mumbai like Bungalow 8 concept store and Hard Rock Cafe are compared between Mumbai and Delhi locations.

Cost Structure Analysis of Hindustan Unilever LimitedSunny Agarwal
The document analyzes the cost structure of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) over several years. It finds that HUL's cost structure consists of 18% fixed costs and 82% variable costs. Advertising is the largest fixed cost at 14% of total costs. Raw materials are the largest variable cost at 34% of total costs. Compared to peer Procter & Gamble, HUL spends more on advertising and less on royalties and outsourced professional jobs. The document also performs a breakeven analysis and contribution volume profit (CVP) analysis for HUL.

The 2017 Brokered Patent Market - the Fightback BeginsErik Oliver

This document provides an overview of special topics in marketing, including business-to-business (B2B) marketing, marketing information systems, and monitoring and measuring marketing activities. It discusses some key differences between B2B and business-to-consumer markets, noting that B2B markets involve more transactions, higher dollar amounts per transaction, and more reliance on personal selling. It also explains that the demand for B2B products is derived from consumer demand. The document then categorizes different types of B2B buyers as producers, resellers, governments, and institutions.
Global investment banking and brokerage remains suppressed due to slow worldwide economic growth and weak consumer confidence. New regulations in the US and Europe will constrain the industry over the next five years, leading investment banks to shift resources away from risky activities into more stable, fee-based activities and faster growing regions. This industry covers global investment banking, brokerage, and securities services including investment banking, broker-dealer services, banking, asset management, and proprietary trading.

Supply Chain Metrics That Matter: A Focus on Brick & Mortar Retail-18 FEB 2013Lora Cecere
The bricks and mortar retailer is being squeezed. Growth is slowing and margin is under pressure. With the rise of e-commerce, the role of the store is being redefined. It is about service and the customer experience. As a result, it is time to rethink the metrics that matter and focus outside-in on the shopper experience.
In this report, we share insights on the current state of bricks and mortar retail and offer our suggestions.
Brick & mortar retailers have weathered an intense decade with the persistent rise of e-commerce. The shopper has changed and recovery from the Great Recession is ongoing, but slow. Our previous Supply Chain Metrics That Matter: A Focus on Retail report focused on the broader industry trends affecting five different divisions of retailers and the challenges of multi-channel retail. This report narrows the focus to three segments of brick & mortar retailers struggling to adapt to the new world.
A retailer is not a retailer. We believe that retailers should be compared by business model. We do not believe that one can throw all retailers together and identify the “most improved” or “best” supply chain. There are too many variables and circumstances affecting the retail landscape to make valid comparisons. In our research, we find that small and well-defined peer groups offer the best way forward for understanding both segment and industry specific trends.
The industry segments analyzed in this report are grocery, mass and specialty. Grocery retailers are involved in the sale of perishable and non-perishable food stuffs. Mass retailers are larger companies focused on providing a comprehensive retail experience to their customers. Finally, specialty retailers are dedicated to specific customers, activities and goods. The companies in this analysis represent both American and global retailers.
Our grocery peer group consists of Carrefour, Delhaize Group, Safeway and The Kroger Co. The mass retailer peer group includes Costco, Metro, Target and Walmart. The choice of specialty retailers was by far the most difficult because there are so many dedicated stores in this category. For this publication, our peer group includes Bed Bath & Beyond, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Foot Locker and Ross Stores. Additional information about all of these companies is presented in the Appendix.

Fastenal is the largest industrial and construction supply distributor in North America. It operates nearly 2,700 stores across 50 US states and 20+ other nations. While it has a strong store network and distribution model, it is highly dependent on the US market, making it vulnerable to economic downturns there. Opportunities for growth include expanding e-commerce, opening new stores, and increasing sales in the growing construction industry. However, Fastenal faces threats of intense competition and volatility in raw material prices like steel. The company communicates through its website, Facebook page, and network of stores.
Supply Chain Metrics That Matter-A Focus on the Automotive Industry-8 OCT 2013Lora Cecere
The automotive industry is a low margin and concentrated industry with few players. It is a complex business.
Unlike other industries with low margins, the automotive industry has not yet developed supply chain resiliency to weather fluctuations in demand. Over the last decade plus—while other low margin industries have refined processes and technologies to improve profitability and manage cycles and complexity—the automotive industry remains stuck in backwards thinking and old paradigms. This is especially true of the North American automotive companies.

Total addressable market (TAM) refers to the total demand for a product or service in a specific market. Serviceable addressable market (SAM) is a portion of the TAM that a business can realistically serve due to limitations. Serviceable obtainable market (SOM) is an even smaller portion of the SAM that a business can realistically capture due to competition. Calculating these markets involves counting customers and multiplying by average revenue to estimate potential.
