Comment: Referencing the second paragraph under Figure 4: The text is indecisive about how to identify months as it explains the non-stocking phase criteria. In lines 3 and 5 of this paragraph, June is referred to as the 5th month (I believe this should be 6th month), then in line seven, July is referred to as month six. If there is a demand in January, that is a piece demand in a month, so therefore January is month 1. June should be considered month 6, and November month 11. One might argue that January doesn't count, as we are recording time forward from the first hit, but that doesn't really make much sense in the way we approach this concept. If the above rings true, then Figure 4 should also be modified to match the updated text.

Comment: In the first paragraph on page 8, there are words in italics (repair, maintenance, and operations), and the acronym RMO listed. This is inconsistent with how we use this acronym elsewhere. Consider changing it to read: "maintenance, repair, and operations" and change the acronym to "MRO" to align with its use in other modules, as well as how it is generally accepted in business.

Comment: Turnover and GM ROI Problems and Calculations - Example 1 has cross multiplication first then a second example and then it says "or" and has the cross multiplication example again, it is unclear why it has it first and then says or and has it again. It looks like the top one should be removed. The cross multiplication should say 175% X 4.5 = 787.5% ÷ 3 = X (262.5%) I'm not sure what the 3X is referring to multiple times on this page and what the statement divide each side by 3 and equation is referring to in relation to calculating the GM ROI with an increase in turns. The 787.5% is the new calculation and the point of calculations above this.

Comment: The ISO certification process in the ILM appears to be very simplified and inaccurate, from what I read the process is more detailed. Similar to the following. -Select the Relevant Standard (e.g., ISO 9001 for Quality Management Systems) -Conduct a Gap Analysis - Compare current practices against ISO requirements. -Develop a Quality Management System (QMS) - Define policies, objectives, and processes. -Document Procedures and Records - Ensure all processes are clearly written and controlled. -Train Employees - Everyone must understand and follow the QMS. -Perform Internal Audit - Check compliance internally before external review. -Management Review - Leadership evaluates system effectiveness. -Stage 1 Audit (Documentation Review) - Certification body reviews your documented system. -Stage 2 Audit (On-site Implementation)-Verify that procedures are followed in practice. -Certification Issued - Valid for 3 years upon successful audit. -Surveillance Audits - Conducted annually to maintain certification. -Recertification - Full audit every 3 years to renew certification.
