Therefore, in the outskirts of the walker’s harvest has installed a mobile unit in these days of the season strong for the Day of the Dead, is responsible for carrying out targeted checks to demand that traders exhibit rates and prices, promotions and non-compliance conditions or deny the sale of products.

Therefore, the determined set blanket PROFECO alluding to the campaign demands in view prices and compare “in places with more business related to the celebration.

However, the bad thing is that informal businesses PROFECO can not intervene except to urge retailers to lower their prices but can not apply sanctions, while in business they can intervene with formal reprimands and fines arising the operational or complaints made by the population.

Thanks to the National Plan EPC led by GS1 Colombia and Logical Foundation, has achieved a 15% reduction in operating time in logistics processes, and a decreased level of exhausted from 4% to 1.4%, after EPC implementation.
Damascenes Exit, Colsubsidio and Olympic Superstores and suppliers as the Alliance Team, Aliments Polar, Bimbo, Casa Luke, Coalface, Companies de Galleass Noel, among others, were some of the companies participating in the Plan.
For several years Logical GS1 Colombia and Foundation are working in the search for new trends in the value chain aimed at the different flows involved (information, product, money and knowledge), all with two main objectives in mind: to make more efficient and optimal value network and in turn generate more money.
Last October 2009 GS1 Colombia and Logical Foundation decided to launch an initiative called the National Plan of EPC, which had as its goal: moving towards joint implementation of a model that would improve the visibility in the network value to the final consumer, as a major player, with the availability of POS sales generated online, reducing the percentage of non-stocked Gondola causal and time devoted to logistics operations as a receipt and dispatch of goods, calculate the investment and savings associated with implementation and, most importantly, build the business case that would later mass deployment decisions.
For the first time, and during three months of work, drew the participation and collaboration of 15 companies between industrialists and traders. On the side chains involved Damascenes Exit, Colsubsidio and Superstores Olympic, and the supply side Alliance Team, Aliments Polar, Bimbo, Casa Luke, Coalface, Companies de Galleass Noel, Companies National de Chocolates, Kellogg’s from Colombia, Meals Colombia, Products, and Unilever Angina Dorian.
These are the results obtained today with the implementation of National Plan EPC:

* Increased sales of channels at 0.42% on average.
* Increase in sales of industry by 0.21% on average.
* 15% reduction in operating time in logistics processes.
* Reducing the level of depleted under the causal non-stocked shelf, from 4% to 1.4% after implementing EPC.
* Validation of compliance with the promise of service chains made according to negotiations with suppliers.
* Actual knowledge of inventory both in store as the sales floor.
* Knowledge of real-time transportation between distribution centers and retail outlets set, and storage time of each reference in each point of the value chain
* Visibility along the value chain, i.e., traceability.

All companies that participated in the National Plan had a common goal: to be pioneers in the field, test and evaluate the mass deployment in its value chain for companies who choose to work later in the implementation of EPC know in advance, what were the obstacles and successes in the process.

Information obtained in the field is forced to prepare data for analysis. In this post, quickly develop some guidelines for the preparation of information such as encryption, file creation, consistency and weight.

Once collected the data, provide codes relevant to the categories or alternative response of questions of the measuring instrument. Coded categories, we proceed to develop the codebook. Return in another post with the design guidelines of the codebook.

The coding can be made before or after lifting the information in the field. The coding can be made at time of questionnaire design, if the categories were pre-coded and the meter has no open questions.

On the contrary, postcodificación is to establish a code to each of the possible answers ready to be mentioned at time of interview in the open questions of the questionnaire. Therefore, the obtained postcodificación done all of the information.

The results of the measuring instrument are transferred to a matrix or database, using as support the codebook. Without the codebook, cannot be encoded and an array of database meaningless. The creation of the data file involves two steps: the recording and definition of the file.

In turn, the recording of the file can be committed in two ways: manual, i.e. using the computer keyboard, or mechanically with the use of optical scanners. The optical scanners read the codes and transcribed simultaneously.

The definition of the data file has protocols related to each statistical package. These protocols will be developed in detail in subsequent deliveries.

Information obtained in the field and finished recording and definition of data file, it must establish guidelines or procedures for quality control of data prior to analysis. Here soon some notes about the consistency of quantitative data.

Definitely, the consistency of data is a crucial time, complex and laborious process of preparing information for analysis.

The purpose of data consistency to ensure the quality of information. The consistency of data is performed in two stages or phases: at first, completed the recording and definition of the data file. In a second time by the systematic review of each of the variables and their relationship with others.

Designed the data file, i.e. the design of the study variables and their format, consistency begins with the application of filter controls and quotas.

It must pass through a filter selection control of the universe under study in order to verify that all the respondents belong to the objective universe.

In addition, the data must pass through a quota control, in order to verify that the composition of the sample matches the sample design.

In a second step, it checks to determine variables by procedure descriptive statistics, frequency distributions of all variables and relationships between them.

These procedures and protocols are critical in the process prior to analysis. It is necessary to carry out this stage of the consistency of a rigorous and systematic. Completed all these steps, the information shall be submitted for analysis.

Finally, the sample obtained in the field should be proportional to the distribution of the universe or population. Therefore, before starting the analysis of the data, we must verify that each individual or respondent in the sample has a weight proportional to the population distribution. The technique of assigning a weight to each individual or interviewee is called sampling weights.

In subsequent deliveries will develop in more detail these patterns of preparing information for analysis. This post is intended to serve as an introduction to the workshop by Spas Data Analysis. In the first session of the workshop, by way of introduction, we will discuss this and other memos, essential for the success or failure of any investigation. Until then.

It is time to rebuild Mexico. The current moral crisis, economic, environmental, and social policy marks the end of an era. This degradation has caused serious damage to the historical conquests of Mexico and threatens our viability as a nation.

The greed of the mafia in power has no limits: It concentrates wealth in few hands, in exchange for millions of Mexicans condemning to a life of poverty and exclusion unacceptable, canceling the future of youth and children. This oligarchy is considered the owner of Mexico and we have become one of the most unequal countries in the world. With ambition, has hijacked the institutions, run over constitutional guarantees, given the national assets to foreigners and devastated the environment.

The only way to end these injustices is a profound transformation of the country. That is why we call the Mexican people to defend their rights, to carry out a revolution of conscience, of historical significance, to rebuild the nation from its foundations, to realize freedom, goodwill, justice and democracy.

The rebirth of Mexico requires the participation of all free citizens working in the construction of the common good. We want a country to provide security and welfare of its people, who respect freedom and diversity, a nation of decent people, united and happy: women, men, youth, indigenous people, peasants, workers, professionals, businesspersons, students, children, elderly.

This country is changing. Social power is underway. We are millions who are committed to transformation. Our guide is the story of the exploits popular Hidalgo’s example by founding the independent nation of Morels who gave the invocation of popular sovereignty, the Juarez to defend the Republic and the secular state, that of Madera called for a revolution effective suffrage. Zapata flag resumed the land and freedom; we recover the spirit of justice of Villa and the commitment of the Flores Macon to end injustice and exploitation. General Lazar Cardenas, who defended the sovereignty and economic independence, inspires us.

We are calling the people of Mexico to unite will and collective efforts in a constitutional process: to create the civic organization that defends the rights of all and new public institutions in Mexico make a democratic, inclusive and sovereign.

It is time to act, to organize from below and from the left, to struggle peacefully. We hope to add to that majority that wants a change because we defend a reason based on the love of equality and appreciation for diversity.

The project of nation that we offer consultation is a starting point for national debate on the Mexico we dream and want to build. A broad and diverse group of intellectuals and specialists committed to democratic change prepared this document. We put for discussion to be enriched with the experiences, proposals, ideas and demands of all sectors. The Mexico that we should be built together. As of December 2010 will reflect the individual contributions, collective and discussion forums to be made, in March 2011 will be presented the results of national consultation.

Colombian companies increased their production capacity and investments to meet growing demand in Venezuela between 2008 and 2009. According to the Bank of the Republic of Colombia (equivalent to the Central Bank of Ecuador), Foreign Direct Investment in Venezuela-balance between input and output of capital-was $ 51 million in 2009.

“Companies like Alpine imported part of their products but then put a plant there. At this moment an issue of legal uncertainty in Venezuela holds it back, says Ana Maria Camacho, COM Venezuela.

The currency issue and discretion in the delivery of permits are the most sensitive. “For some companies are given permits and others doing not. It is impossible to plan how they will behave in the Venezuelan market, because then there is the order of the importing country, but you can access foreign or permissions are granted but can not be exported but the market demands it. “

Companies can not repatriate their profits, which are considered another obstacle. Noel Alvarez, Fedecamaras of Venezuela, holds that the legal uncertainty for all companies and not just for Colombians.

Since there is no size limit state, government spending can be fired as has happened in Peru in 2009. It seems that this year will repeat the error.

There is a relative acceptance among analysts that the fiscal deficit ceiling should not exceed 2% and low inflation of 2%, but there is not the optimal size for the state. A lack of it, it is natural that the APRA will naturally see increased state spending.

If they were more committed to civil liberties would not allow government spending to grow. A further expenditure must have more income, more income and more taxes, more taxes and less private spending, less investment, savings, growth, result in a reduced choice of citizens.

It is noted that the chart prepared by the Peruvian Institute of Economy how the expenditure of capital (machinery, equipment, tools) and current expenditures (wages, salaries, pensions) have grown significantly.
