The process includes the receipt of the order, managing the payment, picking and packing the goods, shipping the package, delivering the package, providing customer service for the end-user, and handling the possible return of the goods. keywords: business; customer; customer service; delivery; level; logistics; order; product; quality; sales; service; time cache: cord-344656-xx76w7c0.txt plain text: cord-344656-xx76w7c0.txt item: #57 of 59 id: cord-349581-o320ogmg author: Robertson, Lindsay J. title: The technological 'exposure' of populations; characterisation and future reduction date: 2020-05-25 words: 9157 flesch: 31 summary: Nevertheless, hazards that affect various populations certainly exist, and a short list will serve to illustrate the significance of evaluating population exposure levels. In many cases the centralisation that causes high exposure levels for the production of complex substances, has resulted primarily from available economies of scale, and only secondarily from the substances' complexity. keywords: data; exposure; goods; individual; information; j o; level; metric; population; population exposure; r n; services; storage; system; u r; vulnerability cache: cord-349581-o320ogmg.txt plain text: cord-349581-o320ogmg.txt item: #58 of 59 id: cord-349831-0u9y35qo author: Ellis, George F.
