• Multi-Criteria Abc Inventory Classification: With Exponential Smoothing Weights

The ABC analysis is a well known and practical classification of inventory items based on the Pareto principle. The purpose of ABC analysis is to classify the inventory into different groups of A, B, or C, according to importance based on measure of a criterion.

• Big Banks Profiting From Foreclosure Crisis ; the Longer Real Estate Is Frozen, the More They Make

The U.S. housing crisis is entering its fourth year, yet Lender Processing Services says more than 2 million homes are in the process of foreclosure and another 2 million are seriously delinquent, having missed more than three monthly payments. Moreover, the average home in the process of foreclosure has been delinquent more than 16 months. How can this be? Certainly, it is in the best interests of both borrower and lender to resolve a delinquency quickly; the borrower wants to avoid eviction, while the lender wants to avoid the typical 50-percent-plus loss associated with a residential foreclosure. The answer lies in the perverse incentives put in place by the Wall Street securitization machine; in particular, the perverse incentives facing the once-obscure entities known as "mortgage ...

• 'I Always Kept a Job': Income Generation, Heroin Use and Economic Uncertainty in 21st Century Detroit

This qualitative study, based on a series of 30 in-depth interviews and 109 economic surveys conducted with active heroin users residing in and around Detroit, Michigan, describes reported patterns of heroin use and income generation activities. In spite of lack of access to regular, legal employment, we found that many participants displayed a dedication to regular daily routine and a sense of risk management or control. These findings are discussed relative to past research on heroin addiction as well as recent research on the changing nature of employment. We argue that this sample fits somewhere in between the controlled or working addict, and the "junkie" or "righteous dope fiend" of urban lore. We draw a connection between these stable patterns of addiction and income generation a...
