A medical device manufacturer who exports products to the United States (US) may risk success in this activity by not being aware of US importer and distributor requirements. This article discusses the requirements and actions that nonUS manufacturers should take to ensure these requirements are met.

Thyroid hormones are essential for vertebrate development. There is a characteristic rise in thyroid hormone levels in blood during critical periods of thyroid hormone-regulated development. Thyroid hormones are lipophilic compounds, which readily partition from an aqueous environment into a lipid environment. Thyroid hormone distributor proteins are required to ensure adequate distribution of ...

This research uses the “Participating Observation Method” to observe the interaction between manufacturer and distributor negotiation strategies, determine the preference and expectation of participants, and establish a framework for this type of research. Then it sets up the “analysis framework of negotiation strategies” between the manufacturer and the distributor based on an analysis of the ...

Revenue-sharing contracts are a kind of mechanism aimed at improving performance and achieving precise coordination of the supply chain. In this paper, we analyse and develop the revenue-sharing contract model of the three-level supply chain with distributor’s sales effort dependent demand. The paper discusses the impacts of sales efforts on coordination of the supply chain and explains the rea...

We study the benefits of coordinated decision making in a supply chain consisting of a manufacturer, a distributor, and several retailers. The distributor bundles finished goods produced by the manufacturer and delivers them to the retailers to meet their demands. The distributor is responsible for managing finished goods inventory. An optimal production schedule of the manufacturer, if imposed...

We consider exclusive contracts as a survival strategy for local incumbent manufacturer facing multinational manufacturer's entry. Although both manufacturers prefer to trade with an efficient distributor, trading inefficient competitive distributors is acceptable only the entrant, owing entrant's efficiency. Hence, such can be outside option entrant. As entrant becomes efficient, works effecti...

• Thermography is a reliable technic to evaluate refrigerant maldistribution in Brazed Plate evaporators. Evaluation of at different evaporator working conditions. Conditions with 0 superheat show uniform thermal map. The rest the conditions have shown some degree maldistribution. effect on performance depends distribution brazed plate heat exchanger distributor has been studied thermographic c...
