Why it was or was not a success in terms of cost, schedule, quality, and performance

The implementation of a customer relationship management (CRM) ERP platform at the bank was successful in terms of cost, schedule, quality, and performance. According to Lindgreen & Antioco (2005), CRM is critical in the banking sector as it helps banks easily reach and serve their customers. From the case study, it is clear that before implementation of CRM the bank had a small customer service department with poorly trained employees. This was highly inefficient since there was a long waiting time for customers to contact customer support of about 20 minutes (Blery & Michalakopoulos, 2006). In turn, this led to long ...

Abstract

Color and texture are important attributes related to vegetable quality. The objective of this study was to determine the changes in quality characteristics, caused by cooking time, and pH (alkali and acid addition) in some vegetables. Four different vegetables — carrots, spinach, red cabbage and cauliflower — were analyzed for changes in color and texture associated to time of boiling, the effect of alkali (baking soda), and the effect of acid (vinegar and cream of tartar). Samples of each vegetable were prepared and treated for five minutes. Color change was measured visually and using the L*a*b* technique. Color and ...

Jeffrey Zacks and Rebecca Treiman’s article, published in The New York Times magazine, as of April 2016, is an argumentative piece about how people will not be able to develop the skill of speed-reading effectively. Speed-reading is defined firstly as “to absorb text several times faster than normal, without any significant loss of comprehension,” (Zacks and Treiman). The message is that several companies that promise to improve the customer’s ability to speed-read are deceptive. Scientific research is not able to support the claims that those companies make. The writers are actually both professors of psychological and brain ...

Fitness is an important element of living that we all should strive to maintain and achieve. Being fit allows a person to work, play, study and live to the fullest extent possible. For students, being fit improves one’s ability to concentrate, decreasing the adverse effects of sitting and being sedentary for most of the day, and increases energy, confidence, and the ability to fit illness. For these reasons, as well as others, we have decided to develop a fitness program for university students. We believe that university students not only will benefit from a fitness program but ...

I set out to visit the messianic synagogue that is located at 6304 Beltline road in Dallas, Texas at the south west corner of Beltline and emerald wood. The main entrance to the synagogue is comprised of three stair cases that lead to three large mahogany doors. At the front of the building just above the doors is a star like inscription. The outside of the synagogue is quite scenery and one cannot wait to get inside. Once inside, I was amazed at the orderliness of these Judaists. The seats were arranged in rows leaving enough space for one ...

Introduction

Crude acid phosphatase from wheat germ can be isolated by gentle aqueous extraction of pulped wheat germ to provide an enzyme-rich and vitamin-rich liquor, containing amongst other things Vit E, Vit B1 (thiamine), Vit B6 (pyridoxine), Vit B2 (riboflavin) and Vit B3 (niacin). This is generally spray dried at low temperatures and the dried product (fine powder) is sold as wheat germ extract.

The enzyme acid phosphatase is ubiquitous in nature and wheat germ provides a convenient source. It is a non-specific esterase utilising a variety of phosphate esters. It exists in three isoforms (I, II and Ill), each having pH optima ...
