(30 points)Passage One The direct supply chain strategy is characterized as those supply chains where the most effective and efficient relationship is implemented through routine t

24、hird-party logistics (TPL) services. First, the full speculation strategy with a decentralized distribution system in this strategy group is characterized as those supply chains where distribution of products is decentralized and based for example on retail stores. Second, in the full postponement s

25、trategy, manufacturing and logistics operations are implemented after the customer order. This means that production is finalized in manufacturing sites, and after that products are distributed to retail stores. Thirdly, in the manufacturing postponement strategy, final production is executed in ret

26、ail stores (for example the final color of paint is mixed in retail stores).In all three cases, routine TPL services add most value. The transportation method depends on the type of product, i.e. whether it is functional or innovative. Functional products are defined as those that satisfy basic need

27、s, are sold in retail stores and have stable predictable demand, with long lifecycles and often low profit margins. In contrast, innovative products enable higher margins, but demand is unpredictable and their lifecycle is short. The supply chain of functional products focuses on minimization of phy

28、sical supply chain costs. On the other hand, the supply chain of innovative products requires responsiveness to ensure that products reaching the markets match users needs; the suppliers, therefore, are chosen for their speed and flexibility. Regarding the use of routine logistics services, the type

29、 of product affects the mode of transportation. In the case of functional products, the chosen mode is based on cost minimization, i.e. low cost transportation modes (e.g. rail, sea, truck). On the other hand, more expensive transportation modes (e.g. air, overnight deliveries) match better with inn

30、ovative products aiming at supply chain flexibility and speed.Choose the best answer:( ) 56. What is the characteristic of direct supply chain strategy?A. A decentralized distribution system. B. A full postponement strategy.C. Final execution in retail stores.D. All of the above.( ) 57. Which descri

31、ption about the functional products is NOT true?A. They satisfy basic needs and are sold in retail stores, having stable predictable demand.B. The supply chain of them focuses on minimizing the physical supply chain costs.C. They ensure that products reaching the markets match users needs.D. The cho

32、ose transportation mode of them is based on cost minimization.( ) 58. Which adds most value in the case of the three strategies mentioned in the first paragraph?A. The full speculation strategy.B. The full postponement strategy.C. The manufacturing postponement strategy.D. Routine TPL service.( ) 59

33、. Which description about the innovative products is not true?A. They enable higher margins.B. The demand of them is unpredictable.C. The lifecycle of them is short.D. They are lack of flexibility.( ) 60. Rail transportation belongs to _.A. low cost transportation modeB. more expensive transportatio

34、n modeC. innovative productsD. functional productsPassage TwoTransportation has taken a great role in many logistics systems for two reasons. First of all, globalization and importing-exporting activities make most products necessary to be transferred from one country to another. Secondly, informati

35、on revolution has propelled the manufacturing process and consumer behaviors to be changed drastically. Traditional transportation methods need to be upgraded to accommodate modern transportation demand; therefore, containerization and usage of information sharing system emerge. Nowadays, most logis

36、tic transportation companies are familiar with the idea of “mission statement” as an expression of setting a vision for the business. The mission statement seeks to define the purpose of the business, its boundaries and its aspirations. It is now common for organizations to have such statement for t

37、he business as a whole and for key constituent components. What some companies have found is that there can be significant benefits to defining the logistics vision of the firm. The purpose of the logistics vision statement is to give a clear indication which business intends to build a position of

38、advantage through closer customer relationship. Such statement is never easy to construct. There is always the danger that they will publish the energetic and encouraging declaration that give everyone a warm feeling but provide no guideline for action. Ideally the logistics vision should be built a

39、round the simple issue of “How do we intend to use logistics and supply chain management to create value for our customers?” To realize this idea will necessitate a detailed understanding of how customer value is created and delivered in the market in which the business competes. Value chain analysi

40、s will be a fundamental element in this investigation as will the definition of the core competencies and capabilities of the organization. Asking the question “What activities do we excel in?” and “What is it that differentiates us from our competitors?” is the starting point for creating the logis

41、tics vision statement. Earlier, it was suggested that the three words “Better, Faster, Cheaper” summarizes the ways in which logistics vision statement can provide value for customers. The criterion for good logistics vision statement is that it should provide the road map for how these three goals

42、are to be achieved.61. What does mission statement intend to do? ( )A. To please management.B. To define, summarize and achieve a common goal.C. To achieve higher market share and profitability.D. To develop new market.62. What kind of goals can mission statement fail to achieve?( )A. Fail to provid

43、e realistic guidelines to guide the actions to achieve results.B. Fail to design a goal that everyone agrees.C. Fail to point out a good goal.D. Fail to implement effectively.63. Which element should a logistics mission statement focus on?( )A. Transportation. B. Costs. C. Customers. D. Punctuality.

44、64. How should a logistics vision statement add value to its customers? ( )A. To provide cheaper services.B. To provide more choices for transportations.C. To communicate better with customers.D. To provide better, more cost-effective and punctual services.65. What should a logistics mission stateme

45、nt provide? ( )A. Management encouragement.B. A design of new methods to apply to customer satisfaction.C. Some detailed actions to undertake to obtain more market share.D. An outline of actions for goals to be achieved.Passage ThreeEuropean-based shipping giant DHL has added supply chain and logist

50、f Davis Internet. “But we are not trying to compete with any one, specific company.”As some analysts see it, however, DHLs move is targeted mainly at UPS (United Parcel Service Inc.)“UPS Supply Chain Service has been growing particularly fast,” said Robert Persuit, an analyst at SJ Consulting Group.

52、uncements and DHLs earlier purchase of Airborne Express are both clear indications that DHL is very serious about competing in the US market,” according to Persuit.In addition to providing new services, the reorganization of DHLs American branch will simplify international shipping for customers in

53、the Americas by letting them use DHL as single provider, according to the DHL representative.DHL expects to aim the new supply chain management/logistics outsourcing services at users in the electronics, telecommunications, CPG (consumer packaged goods), automotive, and life sciences industries.The

54、outsourcing and IT co-development contract with Sun originated with a relationship in the Asia Pacific region, where DHL has been Suns service parts logistics provider for the past four years.DHL Solutions will management and implement the contract.
