Day 2 of "30 Days of Product Suggestions" - @ Zicasso CC Yuchun Ku Brian Tan 1) Reduce the "Start Trip Request" form's 4 touchpoints down to 2. - Combine Trip Details, Travel Style, and Budget into one beautifully designed card. Like something you'd see in a Michelin rated restaurant. Remove demographic data of 18-30, 31-50 (it's optional anyways) and focus more on checkboxes and sliders that imply the luxury to come. Skip the big textbox where a user feels pressure to type and replace with checkboxes that encompass the most frequent reasons for travel (according to past users of your site). If not totally crucial, change "Travel Day Date" to more simply a month. If someone is planning a trip 7 months out and is flexible, picking a day may be a friction point... a reason to "come back later". - When the user clicks NEXT, images of their destination cycle on screen to build a sense of anticipation. The images that render relevant to the location or locations selected, but also based on the desire-checkboxes a user selected. In other words: someone wants a Cruise and to Visit Historical Sites? They'll see images curated for whatever location they aim to go to -- perhaps even reviews of great experiences other people have had. - The second touch point is simply contact information. Here you would have the textbox with an "is there anything else you would like to add", and some filters about the type of agent they might be looking to work with. (works with seniors, honeymooners, families etc) The goal is to reduce friction during Discovery phase and get users to submit faster, along with inferring a positive memory of a trip yet-to-be-had. -- From a Dev perspective, you can set up a secondary page so users will randomly be directed to the original or this new flow. You can use this to A/B test in advance of making the change. 2) "Inquire Now" via Travel Agent or Review - When checking out reviews or travel agents, the user may consider one agent better than another, or read a review that makes them want to book with THIS specific person, or because of THAT specific review. However, when you click "Get Matched", it takes you back to the generic form. As an addendum to my first suggestion, it may be worthwhile to have a field where the user can request a specific agent "if available". "If available" is important to maintain expectations if the agent isn't free. NOTE: if you see back-end attrition, equivalent of "abandoned cart" off a review or agent profile page... OR especially from the Get Matched page after viewing an agent or review, you'll have validated the hypothesis. 3) More Sorting & Filtering - While you can visit a country in particular to see reviews and agents, being able to sort &/or filter by destination on the general landing page cuts down on friction. -- As a P.S. I'm writing because I don't live in TX and not a fit for the product roles you have listed. But, I can help. Thank you!

Material requirements planning (#MRP) is a system used to manage inventory and resources needed for production. It synchronizes every aspect of manufacturing, from raw material sourcing to finished product delivery. An MRP system starts with a bill of materials (BOM), which lists all the materials, components, and subassemblies required to manufacture a product. The BOM defines the master manufacturing schedule (MPS), which indicates when each component needs to be manufactured. MRP also plans manufacturing operations, detailing: – Work to be done – Time required – Amount of inventory required In production and supply chain management, MRP converts the master production schedule into a detailed schedule, which helps in the procurement of raw materials and components. Mainly used in the manufacturing and processing industry, MRP is a push-based inventory control system, which relies on forecasts to determine customer demand for products. Manufacturing companies forecast the quantity and type of products to be purchased and the raw materials to be produced, and then deliver the products to consumers. This is different from a pull-based system, where customers place orders in advance. The disadvantage of a push-based system is that the forecast is inaccurate when sales fluctuate, leading to shortages or surpluses in inventory. Inventory is classified into two forms: independent demand and dependent demand. Independent demand relates to finished products such as cell phones or automobiles, while dependent demand relates to unfinished parts or assemblies, such as cell phone screens or tires. The quantity of dependent demand is determined based on the quantity of independent demand. For example, if you forecast independent demand for the number of finished cell phones you expect to sell, you can estimate the quantities of dependent materials needed such as displays, processors, batteries, and antennas. The quantities of these components depend on the number of phones you plan to produce. The relationship between materials and the final product is represented by a bill of materials (BOM) and managed by MRP. When planning for dependency needs, three important questions to consider are: What components do we need? How much of each component do we need ? When do we need the components?

Just learned a powerful trick from Yan Wang and Yuzheng Sun on optimizing ChatGPT's context window for smarter interactions! 🚀 Key Insights: - Limited Capacity: ChatGPT can only hold a specific amount of data in its context window, potentially cutting off crucial information in long dialogs. - Content Organization: Properly structured prompts are crucial as disorganized content can lead to inaccurate or incomplete responses. - Effective Prompting: Utilize the "edit" feature in ChatGPT's interface to refine prompts without overloading the context window. 👉 Check out the full video for deeper insights into making the most of ChatGPT’s capabilities: https://lnkd.in/gZX7X225 #ChatGPT #AI #Productivity #Efficiency

This time, "Taisho Youtube Global" has gathered the team's efforts, and for the first time, the video is available in English and Japanese subtitles! This is an English interview with Raul Allikivi, an entrepreneur from Estonia! Please check it out↓↓↓ https://lnkd.in/g2_kmHYm Raul Allikivi says that it is very difficult for a foreigner to open a bank account in Japan. Even if you love Japan and come here, opening a bank account is complicated, and the barrier to Japanese documents is huge. Even if you are lucky enough to open an account, all you get is a bankbook and a cash card. We are committed to making the Japanese banking experience simple! to provide a one-stop service for daily banking services, payments, credit cards, and international money transfers on your smartphone. With our team, we hope to make this YouTube channel a fun way to learn English while learning about entrepreneurship, management, and investing. The yen has been weakening, and we are now looking at 160 yen to the dollar. I personally see the weak yen itself as a trend that will continue over the medium to long term, more than 10 years. The value of English as a passport to create opportunities to do business in dollars is that AI can assist so much in reading and writing English, so the only thing left to do is to speak it in real-time! Entrepreneurs, managers, and investors who want to learn English with us. I would appreciate it if you could subscribe to my channel and comment or DM me!
