That's basically same thing as (Length x width) x Height

No it is not.
It is either L x B , L xH or
B x H.
No multiplication with a third factor. Because if you multiply by a third factor, you would be looking at volume and not area (m3 not m2).
As is you are screening something that looks like a “box” 3D, instead of something that looks like just one side of a “plain board” 2D.

But i don't think that should be an issue,
Yoruba Proverb said "Kogba Kodija"
If you can get someone else that will do your job at low cost no problem
Not that you will come to the forum and compare quote up and down becos you want to do them favour
MR FAVOURITE

I, personally have bought things worth more than #10M from members in these forum. People I have never met. Last 2 weeks, a member here supplied my cables worth millions, never seen him in person. A member this week supplied some of my doors, over #4M. I don’t even know him and he doesn’t know me. So I don’t know who you are referring to. I can name them.
I don’t know your business operating procedures and I don’t care to know. I never referenced you in my previous post but it seems your conscience is pricked.
At low cost? Do I sound like someone looking for cheap?
Do you sell Tilcor or any of the first generation quality stone coated sheets? No. You don’t. You only sell the affordable type. So our paths would never cross.
Please take a chill.

Pecopo:
Oga u are responsible for the tfare of your worker or you get someone within your state. Even at some point accommodation you provide them, depending on how long the work will take. Don't think u are doing them a favour to patronize them.

If you patronize any business, you are doing them a favor. They are not doing you a favor, they are working to earn a decent living, just like you worked to earn the money.
Even Coca Cola is still looking for customers.

FEGEITOK:
I lost my engine in Edo State. After several days of trial and error, I had to waybill the top of the engine and pay for my technician to travel to Edo State and fix the car.

Sometimes, there is no way around bringing an artisan that you trust and know can deliver to wherever you need him to work for you.

After it was fixed, we traveled together back to Abuja.

Somebody else came from Warri at no cost and got the job. That was almost #8M. Another sent someone from Nnewi and said he gave the person #5k for transportation, but he did not get the job because he didn’t have Tilcor which was my choice as compared to other roofing sheets.
It is the cost of doing business.

However my issue with this particular member here was the arrogance from demanding this transportation fee payment up front like it was an entitlement.

FEGEITOK:
Let me get this straight.

Formula for calculating square meters: meters is length x width = m2

Your artisan said: m2 x height = m3?

where m = meters

She is talking about a wall. If the wall was layered on the floor it would be L x B . But walls are always erect
So it’s natural for it to be L X H in square meter

redgem:
Its not easy looking for professional artisans (cos they all claim to be professionals)... I always look at distance...would have loved to patronize some artisans here (seen the quality of their work) but I don't think I should be selfish or penny foolish...and It's not a big project for me (it is kobo kobo project) to be dragging people all the way from other state down to Benin, I have done it twice and it wasn't favorable to I and the artisans..

One here told my people that they should pay him #25k to come down to East to measure my roof before he can give quotations. I Kuku respected myself and told them to look for people that are around.

This one is looking to inherit where she did not sow

michlins:
no sir. Duplex. The owner wanted about four thanks so the height was increased to 30ft to accommodate the tanks

That is a good idea. Can 30ft service a duplex with penthouse?

michlins:
When expertise meets determination, that's what I deliver.


Took materials to site today and built it up to this point

Good job. Is this for that 2 storey building in the picture?

It will end in Supreme Court and they will throwaway the case.
They will decide if an ex President retires with immunity.
My guess is, they are going to say yes.

Where are you located?

PoloG:
ok thanks

If you want to do new electronics , you can start with small household items like standing fans, kitchen blender, electric bulbs, iron, electric kettle, boiling rings, radio, table top electric stove etc. Go easy on big tvs and fridge and freezer.
Look into everyday items, extensions cords remotes etc .

PoloG:
ok what of used electronics importation and sales?

The problem with used electronics sales.
Once in a while, you will mistakenly buy one that would stop working when it gets to your shop. Don’t ask me why. The cost to repair it would be more than what you bought it for .At the end of the day you will scrap it or abandon it. That is your capital right there.
This issue happens periodically in the business, such that by end of one year, the shop would be filled with condemned items. The capital is tied to all those.
Some that you already sold could be returned by the customer with military escort, claiming defects.

New electronics, although the profit might be little, but it does not have such challenge.

Declarationsoo:
Why are they celebrating this so called anniversary

If you don’t know, Soludo has his eye on presidency. He needs the political jamboree to continue to be relevant in the National scheme.

Tunedey0001:
As an external auditor mine is to carry out my duty according to SOP of the organization and give well read report and recommendation.

And then what? Owner is aware of the loss but not certain about the source. He makes noise, licks his wound and go bankruptcy.

Tunedey0001:
It depend on the management

I advice minimum quarterly but best perform monthly so that reconciliation can take place immediately after findings.

Lol. That quarterly interval, by then sale girl don build house for owner head.

Tunedey0001:
I got your point and view here very possible and the security man won't even notice this because he will only mark the receipt and not check the content of item bought.

The aim is to reduce theft to the lowest it can't be totally eradicate.

security ke? Person way salesgirl don carry kpekus scatter him head go report such?
Sorry to use this word,

Tunedey0001:
You mean periodic inventory?

If yes a day or two

At what intervals?

Tunedey0001:
Big supermarket has camera everywhere and most of them sign contract that once cut stealing they will pay heavy fine and most are scared of the cctv even when it's not been monitored

That means they might be caught and the supermarket will gradually collapse.
Is not even like they hid to take the things, no. They work with their accomplices who would prentend to pay at counter and then walk way with the item.

Tunedey0001:
They're easy to count
Have been auditing supermarket for like 7 years now and I don't find it stressful at all

I also audit phone stores also
And I use different method for different product

How long does it take you to go round a typical size supermarket to count every item?

Tunedey0001:
The product is in her care the cashier will pay for it.

I doubt she will pay. She will sell another item that is not in her care, she won’t record it. She will them use the money to settle her debt.
That other item, she would report as stolen by shoplifter.

Tunedey0001:
Each pack as number of PCs in a seal the open ones are kept with cashier like Tom Tom, bubble gum etc

And for the cowbell, Milo chocolate and biscuit all this will be empty on the shelf per cartons, the merchandiser that arrange it most report any damage immediately or if one of the roll is not complete due to factory error this can be return to vendor.


Now how I carry out inventory on this smaller items is cycle counting them by category using serial number.

You must a very busy job counting these things periodically to balance the accounts. You count nacet blade, tiger blade, Gillette blade, bic shaving to know how many blades left in the pack? Then you also count all the brands of open box toilet rolls?
Most made in Nigeria Candies don’t have serial number. And if you creat one with a sticker, the price of sticker is even more than the price of a candy.

Tunedey0001:
You can't know immediately but with how this is solve is that most prone items are always at the cashier counter

How does this prevent the cashier from stealing them? And of what use is the audit, if you don’t find out immediately and stop the source?

Tunedey0001:
To stop/minimize stealing in supermarket is very possible cause that's what am doing presently as Inventory auditor and I give solution to every problem found in my report.

In any viable supermarket, there are over 100k varieties of goods at a given time. If you have for example a pack of Bic ball pen, there are 50 pieces in it, how do know immediately when one or two is missing?

Tunedey0001:
Supermarket Business is very lucrative and has good profit margin

Presently I work as a remote inventory auditor with 2 big supermarket in Lagos and I do physical auditing once in a month.

The problem with this business is how to manage your inventory to cut cost, spoilage, theft and this is the job of inventory auditor/control officer.

Lastly and very important the location must be where sales will move. Most of your supplier will supply your LPO and you pay them later like 2 weeks and above it depend on your agreement with them. If the business/sales is moving fast banks are ready to loan you money for expansion to meet demand and most banks use your inventory as collateral.


Wish you luck

Sir, I am eager to learn. When you go for physical inventory audit, how do you count the number of trebor, Tom Tom, butter scots, bubble gum, cowbell sachets, milo sachet, pure water, hacks, all biscuits and all chocolate etc in a rotating stock?

Ballmer:
Extremely profitable so long you can keep staff from stealing.

How do you keep staff from stealing? Mostly. It’s practically impossible.
A Supermarket is not the type business you as the owner can come and eye ball to figure out that something is missing.
Even the sale record, would only tell you what was sold but not what was stolen ( by staff and shoppers)
Have you tried counting the number of peak milk, three crown, cowbell, Dano, you have let on shelf and try to tally it with the books, it would take a whole day. You have not even dugout the Freezer and candy container to count.

The major challenge with supermarket business is inventory management.
There are so many varieties, quantities and flow , that it’s impossible to keep up with stock taking.
For example, you get new stock everyday. at the same time people are buying, a few are damaged, some stolen and others bad. You can’t account for all of these in a rotating manner. Not daily, not weekly. It is tedious to even do

For this reason, your workers will take advantage. When you have 2 or more workers, who do you hold responsible for missing items? Even, if they sell and don’t record the amount, how do find out immediately? A bar of chocolate removed from one box might be the profit for the two cartons. The profit margin is usually very little. More Profit it made by more turnovers.
Even when you find out that something is missing, maybe a month after, which of the employees would you know did it? How do you even know it wasn’t stolen (shoplifting).
Supermarket business only thrives when managed in the traditional way. Oga and his boys. The boys know there are dare consequences if any questionable move is made with money and stock.
Do it the standard accounting way, it collapses.

seanwilliam:
God bless you . This shows that you’re a responsible man
Not all men are lucky to have women that ‘support’ financially, even if she does, you should not rely on that 100% .
Hmm. . But ehn 100k in two months as a married man is very fair o.


It’s far more easier to save as a single man.

How? When you’re single, you only spend what you want , you can ignore billings you’re not comfortable with , no one can compel u except you’re generous or a simp. infact you can decide to be extremely thrifty , and it’s more easier to adjust and adapt to any situation. You can decide to suspend morning and afternoon food, you can decide not to sub to cable, you can decide to even sleep if you have little change in your account. It’s easier to take risk and you’re open to different opportunities.

But when you’re married, it’s impossible to do all that. No matter how wicked you are , you can’t watch your own wife and kids go hungry , 90% of time , you’ll have to consider your family before taking any decisions.
Except you’re financial buoyant , you can’t just buy any cloths, shoes, for yourself. You can’t go to expensive restaurant without thinking about what to give your family the next day .


If you have money in your acct, you’ll still be scared , 70% of time you’ll be experiencing heart palpitations, you’ll not want them to lack.

Technically as a man, when you marry, you’ve given up your freedom and comfort for others.









That’s why , a man needs to be smart and ‘prayerful’ while choosing life partner , not all women worth these sacrifices.

My advice to every young man who is lucky to stumble upon this thread. Print this post, make copies and enlarge one. Don’t forget to laminate one too.
Keep them where you will see and read them every day.

Igbos claim Nigeria is not moving forward because an Igbo man is not in charge but we have an Igbo dominated super eagles n they are still failures


Igbos what do u have to say?

Na the water way person way dey bath pour for head, dey reach him feet.
That is way when you agitate water source at the up stream, those fetching it down the stream will have a lot of dirt in it.

How did you come about this hypothesis abi this is a proven statement? Cos even PO has stopped taking that angle

PO is wise enough not to be making random public statements for a case that is already in court. Don’t expect that hear more from him in that regard.

Obinoscopy:
As a statistician, I've always believed in the powers of deductive inference based on sampling.

INEC has uploaded over 94% of the Presidential Results on the IREV Portal. Now there are people who believe that the result announced by INEC is significantly different from the result uploaded on IREV. I decided to randomly select result sheets from IREV and collate. The sample size was 314 result sheets. That sample size was gotten from an online sample size calculator. Click on this link to see my research protocol: https://www.nairaland.com/7614305/statistical-analysis-inec-result-irev

The result is very interesting.

RESULT
So after collating the result sheets from randomly selected 314 polling units, APC got a total of 15394 votes. LP got 10430 votes. NNPP got 2613 votes. And PDP got 11533 votes. So APC got the majority of votes followed by the PDP, then LP and finally NNPP.

This means INEC declaration is in tune with what's uploaded on IREV. However I noticed that the result for Rivers State is very strange. My collated result shows LP has more than 4 times the votes gotten by either APC or PDP.

So in conclusion, the IREV result is almost exactly what INEC declared. The only discrepancy is that of Rivers State. I might have to inspect that of Rivers State even further in my next analysis. But despite the Rivers State discrepancy, APC won fair and square based on the results on IREV Portal. I say this with 95% confidence.

Whether the results from IREV is authentic or not is a matter for another discuss. My focus was just to use the results I saw on the IREV Portal.

Out of over 170k polling units you claimed to have used sample size from 314 PUs to come to a reasonable conclusion?.

Secondly, the reliability of the data both from Irev and the online source is questionable. You can’t build truth from falsehood. It is called veracity of information source in data analysis.
So, out of the psychometric properties in data authentication, reliability, veracity and sensitivity , you got none right.

Thirdly, what process did you use in the randomization. Did you consider the skewed manner different voters are distributed in Nigeria . In other words, no standard deviation was considered in your analysis.

What was your inclusion and exclusion criteria when collecting the samples? Not all data should be used for analysis, even if they were randomly collected.

Fifth, you failed to declare your interest in the process. Bias error could affect the method and analysis. Are you APC, LP or PDP? Who is bank rolling you? LP does not give shi shi!

In conclusion, your analysis failed to achieve its intended goal.
