Answer 8

nor relevent for now

Question 9

figures wuth knowing iners of vervoer

Answer 9

A ship (a barge for inland shipping) of 1200 tons can carry as much cargo as 60 trucks
or as 40 railway wagons.
* A feedership with a capacity of 1000 TEU can carry as many containers as 700 trucks.
* With the use of 5 liter of fuel 1 ton of cargo travel:
- By ship about 500 km
- By train about 333 km
- By truck about 100 km
- By plane only 6 km!!
* 1 km of waterway infrastructure carries 3,5 million tons of cargo.
* 1 km of railway carries 2,5 million tons of cargo.
* 1 km of road infrastructure carries 1,5 million tons of cargo

Question 10

advantages and disadventeges

Answer 10

Mode/ Performance criteria Flexibility Reach Costs Speed Reliability CO2 Emission
Road 1 1 4 2 5 5
Water 3 3 2 5 4 2
Rail 2 2 3 4 3 2
Air 4 4 5 1 2 5
Pipeline 5 5 1 3 1 1
1= best 5= worst
Economies of scale & distance:
Cost of transportation per unit decreases when load and/or distance
increases

Question 11

mixed mode of transport (MMT)

Answer 11

1. Road
2. Water
3. Rail
4. Air
5. Pipeline
   =Unimodal
6. Mixed mode transportation/ Co-modality

Combine the advantages of each mode and eliminate thedisadvantages of the modes used

Question 12

multimodiall vs intermodiaal

Answer 12

1. Multimodal transportation
   Movement of cargo from origin to destination by several modes of transport
   where each of these modes have a different transport provider or entity
   responsible, but under a single contract.
   A single carrier contracted to fulfill a single journey.
2. Intermodal transportation
   Movement of cargo from origin to destination by several modes of transport
   where each of these modes have a different transport provider or entity
   responsible, each with its own independent contract.
   Multiple carriers contracted to fulfill a single journey.

MULTIMODAL VS. INTERMODAL:
AN EXAMPLE
FastTrack buys a component from a Chinese supplier
* The component is transported by one shipping company (boat from China to
the port of Rotterdam) and one trucking company (truck from port of
Rotterdam to factory in Enschede, NL
→ If FT has separate contracts for the
shipping and the trucking company it
uses intermodal transportation
→ If FT has a contract only with the
shipping company, and the shipping
company then arranges the trucks, it
uses multimodal transportation

Question 13

Question 15

destribution center (DC)

Answer 15

Important strategic (i.e., long-term) decision
* Significant impact on costs
Two methods to determine a DC location:
1. Factor rating
2. Center-of-gravity

DISTRIBUTION CENTER (DC)
* Important strategic (i.e., long-term) decision
* Significant impact on costs
Two methods to determine a DC location:
1. Factor rating
2. Center-of-gravity

Question 16

methode one to determeaine dc= FACTOR RATING METHOD

Answer 16

The factor rating method is used for comparing existing facilities
and selecting the best one based on company-chosen factors and
ratings.
Six steps:
1. Determine the relevant factors (i.e., key success factors).
2. Assign a weight to each factor.
3. Develop a scoring-scale for each factor.
4. Score each location for each factor.
5. Determine the weighted scores.
6. Select the location with the highest total score.

Step 1: Determine the relevant factors (i.e., key success factors)
Key success factors
Labor pool and climate
Proximity to suppliers
Proximity to customers
Wage rates
Proximity to harbor
Land price

Step 2: Assign a weight to each factor
Key success factors Weight
Labor pool and climate 0.1
Proximity to suppliers 0.3
Proximity to customers 0.2
Wage rates 0.1
Proximity to harbor 0.1
Land price 0.2
1.0

Step 3: Develop a scoring-scale for each factor
Key success factors Weight Location 1 Location 2 Location 3
Labor pool and climate 0.1
Proximity to suppliers 0.3
Proximity to customers 0.2
Wage rates 0.1
Proximity to harbor 0.1
Land price 0.2
1.0

Step 4: Score each location for each factor
Key success factors Weight Location 1 Location 2 Location 3
Labor pool and climate 0.1 80 65 90
Proximity to suppliers 0.3 100 91 75
Proximity to customers 0.2 60 95 72
Wage rates 0.1 75 80 80
Proximity to harbor 0.1 65 90 95
Land price 0.2 85 92 65

Question 17

methode two to determine dc center of gravety methode

Answer 17

• The center of gravity method is used for locating a new single
  facility that considers existing facilities, the distances between
  them, and the volumes of goods to be shipped between them.
• This methodology involves formulas used to compute the
  coordinates of the two-dimensional point that meets the distance
  and volume criteria stated above.

C = d V
Vx ix i

Cx = X coordinate of center of gravity
Cy = Y coordinate of center of gravity
dix = X coordinate of the ith location
diy = Y coordinate of the ith location
Vi = volume of goods moved to or from ith locationC = d V

Question 18

what is green logistics

Answer 18

• Green logistics activities include measuring the environmental impact of
  different distribution strategies, reducing the energy usage in logistics
  activities, reducing waste and managing its treatment (Sibihi & Eglese, 2010).
• Creating a sustainable company value using a balance of economic and
  environmental efficiency.
• Driven by regulation and customers’ pressure

Question 19

GREEN LOGISTICS VS. REVERSE LOGISTICS

Answer 19

“The process of planning,
implementing, and controlling the
efficient, cost-effective flow of raw
materials, in-process inventory,
finished goods and related information
from the point of consumption to the
point of origin for the purpose of
recapturing value or proper disposal”

Question 20

TYPES OF ITEMS REQUIRING REVERSE
LOGISTICS

Answer 20

Product returns
* Product recalls
* End-of-lease equipment
* End-of-life products
* Old/obsolete items
* Packaging materials
* Hazardous materials

Question 21

REVERSE LOGISTICS NOT NECESSARY GREEN

Answer 21

Reverse flow only (no holistic view)
* Ignore energy efficiency mode of transport, clean energy
* Increase in transportation

Question 22

SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN
MANAGEMENT + STG

Answer 22

The strategic, transparent integration and achievement of the social, environmental
and economic goals of an organization in the systemic coordination of key inter-
organizational business processes to improve the long-term economic performance
of the individual and its supply chain

STG United Nations SDG’s Corporate reporting:
