The expanded use of collaboration software, and the move to richer and more varied tools, helped the company achieve a service level of 98% for three years in a row. Moreover, Ratiopharm was able to manufacture its products three times faster, improving its ability to meet demand -- even surprise spikes in demand. |
"I don't think we would have died, but we would have shrunk," said Martins, adding that he thinks jobs were saved because of the added collaboration among departments. "We were able to grow and save our position in the market, despite the market." |
"If you have an operation where people can respond to changes very fast, it's an enormous weapon," he noted. "You have to be able to deal with surprises because the world has more surprises than nonsurprises." |
While the pharmaceutical market continued to fluctuate, Ratiopharm and its supply chain stayed strong and flexible. |
"I had the fastest supply chain in the industry," Martins said. "If work doesn't wait, work doesn't accumulate.... Everything goes faster and smoother. The company becomes more orderly. You go from a perpetual state of crisis to a state that is calm an orderly." |
That more-agile supply chain and corporate stability helped to catch the eye of Teva Canada, a major supplier of generic pharmaceuticals in Canada and an arm of Israel-based Teva Pharmaceuticals. In 2010, Teva bought Ratiopharm and its supply chain, acquiring its expertise in collaboration as part of the package. |
Prior to that acquisition, Teva had struggled during the period of upheaval in the pharmaceutical industry. Teva's service level was below 90% and its manufacturing time was around 80 days, according to Martins. |
However, in January, after the acquisition, Martins and his team introduced Moxie's collaboration software into Teva's operations. |
Now the company's service level is between 90% and 95%. Martins said he hopes it will be over 95% by the end of the summer. Moreover, Teva's manufacturing cycle time has improved from 80 days to 35-40 days, and the expectation is that it will drop to 25 days by the end of the summer. |
"You establish environments in which employees can declare there's a problem," Martins said. "Collaboration allows us to see what's going on in-house.... If you're talking about how your company produces, you have a core that makes everything faster." |

I am working on a Windows Phone 8 app and am trying to share content through the DataTransferManager. The Windows API documentation says it is supported in Windows Phone but when the DataTransferManager.GetForCurrentView() function is called I get an exception |
System.NotSupportedException was unhandled by user code |
Message=Specified method is not supported. |
I have been searching for an answer and can't find anyone else with the same issue, any help would be appreciated. All samples on this topic seem to be Windows 8 specific, but Phone 8 does include these functions. Here's sample code from my app. |
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e) |
DataTransferManager dataTransferManager = DataTransferManager.GetForCurrentView(); |
dataTransferManager.DataRequested += new TypedEventHandler<DataTransferManager, DataRequestedEventArgs>(dataTransferManager_DataRequested); |
private void dataTransferManager_DataRequested(DataTransferManager sender, DataRequestedEventArgs e) |
DataPackage requestData = e.Request.Data; |
requestData.Properties.Title = "Share Text Example"; |
requestData.Properties.Description = "An example of how to share text."; |
requestData.SetText("Hello World!"); |
private void Button_Tap_1(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e) |
Again, the exception is shown when the page loads on the DataTransferManager.GetForCurrentView(); function so it doesn't get to the other lines, but included them anyway. I've tried adding/removing permissions and assemblies but must be missing something. I've also tried putting the function in different events (such a... |
If anyone is interested in trying this on their own here is some documentation: |
Although it may not be the best solution given the context of this question, I am implementing the Email/Sms/Link Tasks as described below rather than using the DataTransferManager. It seems that DataTransferManager may not be accessible in WP8 and although the tasks will take a number of different functions they seem ... |

Actually I am also facing the same problem for email attachment I am using this one it crashes at the same point can you give me any idea. – Mohit Apr 27 at 5:36 |
@Mohit, have you tried to use the EmailComposeTask object as described in the answer below? It should be used for sending emails on mobile – ellemayo Apr 29 at 13:19 |
I am trying it but I want to send mail with an Attachment via code. – Mohit Apr 30 at 4:38 |
@Mohit, This is sort of a separate question but I did find some resources on it. Check out these links:… and hope that helps – ellemayo May 2 at 13:10 |
Thank you man @ellemayo but I had seen it before it shows me up a pop up every time..:( – Mohit May 3 at 3:46 |

I think I have found most of what I was looking for with Launchers... Rather than just using the Windows 8 general sharing functionality I can be specific with Tasks/Launchers. |
Unfortunately it doesn't have as many sharing options as the charm does, I will be implementing several functions for email/sms/social but so far this is the best solution. |
Here are the functions that I will be implementing |
private void ShareLink(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e) |
ShareLinkTask shareLinkTask = new ShareLinkTask() |
Title = "Code Samples", |
LinkUri = new Uri("", UriKind.Absolute), |
Message = "Here are some great code samples for Windows Phone." |
private void ShareEmail(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e) |
EmailComposeTask emailComposeTask = new EmailComposeTask() |
Subject = "message subject", |
Body = "message body", |
To = "", |
Cc = "", |
Bcc = "" |
private void ShareSMS(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e) |
SmsComposeTask smsComposeTask = new SmsComposeTask() |
Body = "Try this new application. It's great!" |
Launchers for Windows Phone |
Share Link Task |

According to my API reference, DataTransferManager is reserved for native apps only. Windows Phone API Quickstart. |

Have you tried using the fully qualified method? It would be something like this: |
DataTransferManager dataTransferManager = indows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer.DataTransferManager.getForCurrentView(); |
Also, make sure your target is Windows Phone 8. |

Yes I did try using fully qualified names already with no success and I am targetting Windows Phone OS 8.0, thanks – ellemayo Nov 27 '12 at 21:23 |
Does the Exception Assistant tell you anything? – sadify Nov 27 '12 at 23:39 |
Unfortunately it doesn't help very much, I added the full details to my question and there is no stack trace to follow – ellemayo Nov 28 '12 at 14:16 |

The Windows 8 Share Contract isn't supported on WP8. There isn't even a Share charm on WP8. Why are you trying to use the DataTransferManager? |
Instead of using the Share Contract, most usecases can work just fine with WP8 app2app custom protocols and file extensions. Using WP8 app you can transfer files and data across apps. Althrough the standardized contract of the Share Contract is gone, apps can create their own contracts using custom protocols and file e... |

There may not be a share charm on WP8 but there does appear to be a consistent share view within many (of at least Microsoft's) apps. Clicking share takes you to the same result as the share charm where you choose your sharing method. See it in IE, Photos, Store, Office etc. they all appear to be the same which is simi... |
"Share" within each 1st party app is it's own thing and has nothing to do with the Share Contract or DataTransferManager and isn't extensible for the most part. Specific 1st party apps (pictures, camera, etc) expose specific endpoints that 3rd party apps can register to. – JustinAngel Nov 29 '12 at 16:26 |

What are the chemicals and equipment entail to label a home made biofuel from cooking grease ? |
I have a old ford pick up and the price of crude grease is outrageous and I want to divert my source of fuel like the bio diesel but I don't know where to start converting cooking grease into biodiesel. Can anyone help me. I will trully appiciate it |
righteous luck finding used cooking oil |
restaurants sell their used cooking grease to make dog food, and they LOCK UP their containers so nobody takes it. |
don't believe me? |
shift to any restaurant and ask them if you can have their used cooking oil, |
they will report to you "GET LOST" |
You can pour clean cooking grease into your fuel tank as a replacement fuel for diesel. Their are no side affects what so ever. Its worth mixing it with diesel this will eat up the smell being emitted from the exhaust system and harder to trace if st opped by the authority's. Source(s): This does work. |
A link to the "foolproof" biodiesel recipe is below. |
According to an article I caught the other hours of daylight, "yellow grease" is now going for almost 33c/lb, or around $2.50/gallon. But with diesel fuel around $4.70/gallon around here, biodiesel still looks like other even if you have to buy your grease. Source(s): http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_mi… |
