EDI can and is difficult for the uninitiated to read. It is a "digital" representation of a human readable document, like a purchase order for example. By reading this short introduction into the world of EDI you will understand how it is structured, why it is necessary, what a standard is and what the individual pieces of data mean and how they interrelate. Welcome to EDI-101
This book is about Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI. EDI enables system to system communication between businesses, reducing a great deal of paper documents and manual interaction in organisations. It allows a company to take advantage of the benefits of exchaning business data electronically, thereby avoiding any errors caused by manual processes.This book is an attempt to remove the jargon and mystery surrounding EDI. It takes you through the commonly used protocols and standards that exist in traditional EDI systems.
The business advantages of EDI are enormous--if the advance work is done correctly. This text guides the manager through a comprehensive assessment of EDI as a strategic business decision. Uses "on'site", industry-specific case study examples.

This fun and friendly guide takes SQL and all its related topics and breaks it down into easily digestible pieces for you to understand. You’ll get the goods on relational database design, development, and maintenance, enabling you to start working with SQL right away! Provides an overview of the SQL language and examines how it is integral for the storage and retrieval of database information Includes updates to SQL standards as well as any new features Explores SQL concepts, relational database development, SQL queries, data security, database tuning, and more Addresses the relationship between SQL and programming as well as SQL and XML If you’re looking for an up-to-date sequel to the bestelling first edition of SQL All-in-One For Dummies, then this is the book for you!
A complete briefing and education on EDI Having so many people ask me for a rolled-up version of the EDI Education Series, I decided to put together; all 4 books of the EDI Education Series into a single volume. This is an updated rendition of the 4 books in the EDI Education Series and by reading and understanding the information between these covers you will have an excellent basis to be an asset to any EDI Department.The previous 4 books which this is based upon hold very different aspect of the EDI world. And as such offer an excellent refresher into their specific topic. But, this 5th volume builds upon the previous four to empower you to become a very able EDI Analyst, with the knowledge and ability of someone entering into the wonderful world of EDI.
An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides an accessible overview of the field of statistical learning, an essential toolset for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged in fields ranging from biology to finance, marketing, and astrophysics in the past twenty years. This book presents some of the most important modeling and prediction techniques, along with relevant applications. Topics include linear regression, classification, resampling methods, shrinkage approaches, tree-based methods, support vector machines, clustering, deep learning, survival analysis, multiple testing, and more. Color graphics and real-world examples are used to illustrate the methods presented. This book is targeted at statisticians and non-statisticians alike, who wish to use cutting-edge statistical learning techniques to analyze their data. Four of the authors co-wrote An Introduction to Statistical Learning, With Applications in R (ISLR), which has become a mainstay of undergraduate and graduate classrooms worldwide, as well as an important reference book for data scientists. One of the keys to its success was that each chapter contains a tutorial on implementing the analyses and methods presented in the R scientific computing environment. However, in recent years Python has become a popular language for data science, and there has been increasing demand for a Python-based alternative to ISLR. Hence, this book (ISLP) covers the same materials as ISLR but with labs implemented in Python. These labs will be useful both for Python novices, as well as experienced users.
Production and manufacturing management since the 1980s has absorbed in rapid succession several new production management concepts: manufacturing strategy, focused factory, just-in-time manufacturing, concurrent engineering, total quality management, supply chain management, flexible manufacturing systems, lean production, mass customization, and more. With the increasing globalization of manufacturing, the field will continue to expand. This encyclopedia's audience includes anyone concerned with manufacturing techniques, methods, and manufacturing decisions.
