UK Kitchen Furniture Market
The domestic kitchen furniture segment in the United Kingdom experienced steady growth in the early part of this decade. However, the overall market value declined in 2005 for the first time since 1999. The market experienced steady growth between 2000 and 2003. Growth slowed a bit during 2003-4, following a series of interest rate increases, a less robust housing market and a high level of price competition. During 2005, new house building levels in the private sector remained relatively static, which, along with a downturn in UK consumer spending on RMI (repairs, maintenance and improvements), resulted in the weakest market for some years.

Reverse Logistics in Supply Chain Management
The evolution of reverse logistics for manufactured products is developing in direct proportion to the rapid advancements in technology and the subsequent price erosion of products as new and improved products enter the supply chain at a faster pace. With such thin margins and so much competition, mismanagement of the supply chain can be devastating. Those organizations with the infrastructure to capture and compare the composite value of components with real time intelligent analysis and disposition based on changes in refurbishment cost, resale value, spare parts, repair and overall demand will not only become more profitable, but such flexibility and scalability will allow them to outmaneuver and eliminate the competition.
