Personal supply chain management
My idea would be for households/individuals to use t inventory management strategies/technologies employed by "big box" stores for personal supplies . The benefits for individual and households would be more efficient shopping and better reliability in terms of having adequate supplies in the house.
Q1: Would you like to shop more efficiently and make fewer trips to the store?
Idea Description
The best way to implement this idea would be to utilize RFID technology/bar codes and a consumer version of inventory management software and computer hardware. Individuals could then tailor the technology to their own household supply management needs. For example one household could receive
information regarding depletion of soap once a week, whereas another (based on usage) twice a month. The purpose would that shopping would be done with better planning and efficiency.
It would be reduce last minutes trips to the store.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I would use the $10,000 to hire a team to experiment with this idea

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
I think there's a web based application that does logistics management. I can remember the name, but it's out there. In hindsite, this isn't a very helpful post.
Hey jfairfieldcty, this idea would make a lot of sense for bigger homes - families with 3+ kids, etc. It will be great if you can explain in simple terms (in the idea description section) how the rfid/bar code technology used in scm can also be used by consumers like you and I.
