]]> If you have a website with some traffic, you can make money by having links to merchants’ online shops on your site.If someone goes through your links into the shop of the merchant, and buys something, you earn commission from the sale, between 5% and 40% depending on type of merchant. Some merchants also pay for each click or each lead. A lead is a new visitor to the shop that asks for more information or prize offers.

People or companies having these links on their web-sites, are called affiliates, and the links are called affiliate links. The administrative infrastructure by the merchant that the affiliate register into, in order to get the linking code, is called an affiliate program.

To register into an affiliate program is usually free, and through the program you get freely all you need to make the linking code, to monitor the traffic through your links, and to see what commission you have earned.
An affiliate program is not a MLM program, since the affiliates only earn from sales, leads or clicks.

However, in many programs you can recruit other affiliates and earn some commission from the sales made by the recruited affiliates too. There are also common networks operated by third-part companies where several merchants use a common software and administrative infrastructure to recruit affiliates and monitor the traffic from affiliates.

These are called affiliate networks. Both the merchants and potetial affilliates register into the network, and the affiliates can find links to the online shops of hundreds of merchants to use at their web-site. Examples of affiliate networks are Commission Junction and Clixgalore.

From my experience, the best affiliate programs are for merchants selling althernative health items or items for erotic improvements. I also have good experience with programs in the fields skincare, cosmetics and hobby.
What will work best for you, will however depend upon the kind of traffic you have, and the interests of people visiting your site.

]]> Introduction
Over the past 10 years a great number of businesses ranging from SMEs to Blue Chips have been rolling out or updating their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Distribution Requirements Planning (DRP) and Advanced Supply Chain Planning solutions (APS). There are a variety of reasons for this intense activity, ranging from the need to consolidate IT following an acquisition, through to the desire to improve the IT capability in order to implement a particular supply chain strategy.
When the dust settles after the implementation many businesses, having spent a lot of time and money, are left with a very inflexible IT solution whose core planning principles are routed in the thinking of the late 60s, and not compatible with the agile, flexible, supply chain processes required to be competitive today.
It seems that our understanding of what is required to build a competitive supply chain has evolved considerably over the past 40 years, however the range of IT solutions available to support our ambitions has not.

This white paper examines the key elements required to build a successful and low cost supply chain, how the majority of IT offerings fail to support these key principles and how a new approach to planning can enable the benefits of Lean Manufacturing without throwing away your IT investment.

The problem with Forecasts

Fundamentally, most ERP/DRP systems provide a very robust operational platform, on which the majority of a business processes are supported, from Finance to HR. Where they are weak however, is in the provision of planning tools. Most come equipped with a basic MRP (Material Requirements Planning) engine, and the more advanced ones may supplement this with predictive safety stock planning or re-order point logic, usually under the guise of an Advanced Planning Systems (APS) module. Or to put it another way, your multi-million dollar IT super-car has a tractor engine lurking under the bonnet. The fundamental flaw with all of these MRP variants is that the starting point for all calculations is a Forecast.

Most planners know that the best Forecasts are 70% accurate at best. APS systems may buy a few percentage points of improvement in exchange for a hugely disproportionate monetary investment, but have categorically failed to deliver the advertised benefits. The real problem is that MRP then compounds the situation by using this imperfect forecast to precisely raise planned orders and set predictive levels of safety stock. What this does is push wildly unplanned and unpredictable levels of inventory, effort and cost into our supply chain.

This white paper examines the key elements required to build a successful and low cost supply chain, how the majority of IT offerings fail to support these key principles and how a new approach to planning can enable the benefits of Lean Manufacturing without throwing away your IT investment.

The problem with Forecasts

Fundamentally, most ERP/DRP systems provide a very robust operational platform, on which the majority of a business processes are supported, from Finance to HR. Where they are weak however, is in the provision of planning tools. Most come equipped with a basic MRP (Material Requirements Planning) engine, and the more advanced ones may supplement this with predictive safety stock planning or re-order point logic, usually under the guise of an Advanced Planning Systems (APS) module. Or to put it another way, your multi-million dollar IT super-car has a tractor engine lurking under the bonnet. The fundamental flaw with all of these MRP variants is that the starting point for all calculations is a Forecast.

Most planners know that the best Forecasts are 70% accurate at best. APS systems may buy a few percentage points of improvement in exchange for a hugely disproportionate monetary investment, but have categorically failed to deliver the advertised benefits. The real problem is that MRP then compounds the situation by using this imperfect forecast to precisely raise planned orders and set predictive levels of safety stock. What this does is push wildly unplanned and unpredictable levels of inventory, effort and cost into our supply chain.

Where Push meets Pull

At the same time as businesses are trying to tame their ERP/DRP systems, many have recognised that their customers are demanding higher levels of flexibility, responsiveness and reliability, and that these factors are becoming the differentiators in an ever more me too marketplace. In order to compete and meet the challenge, many companies are leading a campaign to implement Lean Manufacturing principles.
The interface between MRP Push and Lean Pull generates a lot of Heat & Light in the planning and purchasing department
Lean manufacturing is based around the principle of pulling only the levels of inventory through the supply chain that are required to satisfy an agreed customer service level. Lean Manufacturing recognises that not all SKUs are the same, and that different inventory replenishment rules are needed, based upon the volume and variability of demand. There is an obvious incompatibility here with the ERP/DRP IT systems, which take a one size fits all approach to planning.
This is where the push replenishment signals generated by ERP/DRP systems clash with the pull signals required for Lean. This interface typically generates a lot of heat and light, normally in the planning and purchasing departments. The interface between these two methodologies drives a lot more resource into translating and managing the incompatibility. This increased overhead can minimise or even eliminated any of the cost benefits desired from Lean Manufacturing.

A Back to Basics approach

Many of the latest IT planning offerings contain ever more complex statistical and mathematical solutions, all striving to improve our ability to forecast, and therefore make the rest of the MRP logic work. From the software vendors perspective this approach is understandable, given the amount of MRP based software currently in the market. Sooner or later we must face the truth that MRP planning logic is totally inappropriate for 95% of businesses involved in batch manufacture. In fact not just inappropriate but damaging to their profitability and growth potential.
Sooner or later we must face the truth that MRP planning logic is totally inappropriate for 95% of businesses involved in batch manufacture
We need to stop chasing the perfect forecast and take a step back. We need to consider the key elements required in a Best Practice supply chain design. Only once we understand these can we then select and tailor our IT tools to automate and support the new process.

Lean Planning is required to compliment Lean Manufacture

Whilst the past 20 years has seen a lot of Thought Leadership and energy around the implementation of Demand Driven Lean Manufacturing, there has been a distinct lack of activity around the development of planning tools to enable the benefits of Lean to be realised. To the extent that MRP is still considered amongst the vast majority of companies to be leading edge.
What is required is Lean Planning. Lean Planning fills the gap between the legacy Forecast Driven MRP based ERP/DRP systems incumbent in most companies, and Demand Driven Lean Manufacturing. Without needing to discard the current IT investment, there is now a set of processes and software tools that provide the missing link. Lean Planning will fundamentally support the 10 key elements of Best Practice Supply Chain.
The concept of Lean Planning encompasses the two key areas of planning, i.e. Conditioning and Execution. The principle being that Planners should set a plan (or condition) and then execute against it. Workload and Inventory increase when planners try to do both Conditioning and Execution at the same time, by the way, a characteristic of MRP logic.

Conditioning – Build and Agree the Plan

Conditioning is the range of planning activities designed to support the Sales & Operations Planning process. Conditioning is about building and agreeing a capacity and inventory plan. Lean planning requires a toolkit that will segment large numbers of SKUs along the lines of Forecast Volumes and Historical Demand Variability. Depending upon this combination of volume and variability a Lean Planning tool should enable the correct replenishment rule to be applied and a target maximum level of inventory to be calculated.

Execution Generate and manage Demand Driven Orders in line with the agreed Plan

A Lean Planning Tool must be designed from the perspective of the planner and not the programmer
Once the Conditioning is complete, the rest of the month should be spent raising and executing orders in line with the agreed plan. The conditioning process may have led to the need for a multitude of replenishment rules and techniques, from Make to Order through to Cyclic Replenishment. Once again Lean Planning should provide a software toolkit that interfaces into an existing ERP/APS system and enables the generation of Orders in line with whichever replenishment technique is appropriate for the SKU concerned. Lean Planning should provide for the configuration of current MRP systems so that they can mimic the action of a true Demand Driven planning tool where appropriate.

This has nothing to do with a mere superstition: the machines are programmed to pay different rates than they receive. If you’re in a live casino can only guess what the machines generous, but the online slots can be labeled into categories with returns of 95 percent or more, which means that the machine will return 95 cents for every euro / dollar received, and therefore the house edge is very low.
