The Functions of Logistics and Transportation

The transportation function of logistics may include:

Trucking
Rail
Water / Oversea Shipping
Air
Pipeline

Transportation is a vital component of logistics. Companies that only trade domestically can focus on only one or two modes of transport. Today, however, most firms must have overseas customers, suppliers, or both. With oceans and air involved, companies deal with multiple shipments over multiple carriers. Add to this chain is the fact that shipments often need a place to be stored in-between transportation modes.

Warehousing

Would it be nice if passenger travel did not require waiting? Unfortunately, today’s system always involves some downtime, and the same is true in the transport of goods. Unlike in passenger travel, there aren’t usually cargo carriers leaving every half hour for any given destination. Chances are, your products will require warehouse storage while in transit.

While warehousing is often seen as a necessary cost, smart we can re-cast it as a competitive advantage. By storing the right inventory in central locations, our companies create greater availability for our their customers. How else could Amazon deliver so many packages within one or two days?

Warehousing allows for the remote storage of finished goods or individual components to create our customer’s best experience. Making product storage happen is no simple task, however. That’s why our companies often look for expert.

The scope of a project is linked intimately to the proposed business processes and systems that the project is going to deliver. Regardless of whether the project is to launch a new product range or discontinue unprofitable parts of the business, the change will have some impact on business processes and systems. The documentation of your business processes and system requirements are as fundamental to project scoping as an architects plans would be to the costing and scoping of the construction of a building. The most successful business projects are always those that are driven by an employee who has the authority, vision and influence to drive the required changes in a business. It is highly unlikely that a business owner (decision maker or similar) will realize the changes unless one has one of these people in the employment. However, the project leadership role typically requires significant experience and skills which are not usually found within a company focused on day-to-day operations. Due to this requirement within more significant business change projects/programs, outside expertise is often sought from firms which can bring this specific skill set to the company.

Reverse Logistics

Just as customer service and business relationships have become more critical than ever, so has reverse logistics—the system that allows products to be sent from customers back to manufacturers. No longer only for retail, business customers now request a replacement for anything from the smallest bolt to the largest machine.

And the option to replace can make the difference between products bought and purchases delayed. By having an established, reliable reverse logistics system in place, our customers can buy with the comfort of knowing return, replacement, or service is simple and hassle-free.
