Heartburn or something else? Heartburn-like pain is a common symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). But several other conditions can cause a burning feeling in your chest. Most of the time, your doctor will be able to identify whether you have heartburn or GERD by doing tests.
Par-level balancing, or inventory level balancing, is the process of matching stock levels to actual demand. Instead of using gut-feeling logic to determine the right amount of supplies, par-level balancing uses actual consumption data.
The par level of a given product is often the minimum required to meet short-term demand, such as one day or one week, depending on the operation. A par-level inventory system has advantages in concept, but it is sometimes difficult to manage. A company may have more or less in actual inventory than its computer shows.
