This book will offer companies in the food industry a comprehensive guide to preparing for a British Retail Consortium Standard evaluation (Issue 6). It will enable them to ensure that the correct systems are in place to achieve the Standard, and also that they present themselves in the best possible light during the audit process. It will also recommend the correct steps to take following evaluation and how to correct non-conformities. The book will be of interest not only to suppliers who are seeking certification for the first time but also to those already in the scheme, and are seeking to improve their grades.

Wouldn''t it be helpful if you knew what the future holds? You could get a jump on your future life and problems. Other than your own personal issues...family, friends, career...there are four issues that will effect your future financially. You''re going to retire some day...possibly live 20 to 25 years in retirement. The four issues that are important, whether you''re rich or poor, whether it''s an individual or entire country, are: 1. Social Security 2. Medicare 3. Health Care 4. Oil /Energy All four are currently in crisis. All four are inter related, or interfaced if you prefer computer jargon. For example; whether Social Security is privatized or we continue with our current pay-go system, both will rely on a solid economy. A solid U.S. economy relies on oil. All four are sacrosanet...this means they are prone to subjective opinion and demagoguery by politicians. This book is not for academics. The author has turned the curves, graphs, quotients of the statistician into dollars and cents meanings you can understand. These meanings will help you plan your own financial future.
