1. What does the organizational chart of the company look like?
2. What positions on the organization chart do I fill?
3. What do I do to make the most money for the company?
4. Do the positions in the company have operations manuals?
5. What functions should someone else do?
Again, these are tough questions someone needs to answer. Next month we’ll look at inventory control.

Remanufacturing emerges as the green, cost-performance choice for the $100 billion diesel engine industry – achieving over $1 billion in the U.S. alone. The big “reman” players are increasing their dominance, but small and passionate independents are fighting back.
Yakima, WA, April 19, 2010 – Demand for remanufactured diesel engines doubled in first quarter of 2010, as witnessed by National Power Supply (http://nationalpowersupply.com). Larry Pryor, President, noted, “We have seen an upsurge of inquiries with the recovery of durables. Our marketing activities had effect, but we are approaching a $1 million a day in demand [in the larger remanufactured diesel engines segment].”
“The uptrend in remanufactured engines arises from: (a) acceptance of the remanufacturing practice, (b) sustainability advantages, (c) rising cost of new engines with escalating emissions requirements, and (d) a frugality emerging from the global recession,” explains Paul Kang.
