Why the Increasing Interest? • Deregulation • Globalization • Technological breakthroughs • Environmental concerns • Performance impact © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036 Chapter 12, Slide 2
Deregulation • Transportation providers – – Elimination of artificial barriers Unrestricted markets Multimodal solutions Price, schedule, and terms flexibility • Buyers have greater freedom – Negotiate prices, terms, and conditions – Ownership issues BUT… © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036 Chapter 12, Slide 3
Deregulation (continued) … with greater freedom comes new responsibilities Key point Logistics has evolved from being a “tactical” area to a “strategic” one © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036 Chapter 12, Slide 4

Highway Mode Strengths Weaknesses • Flexibility to pick up • Not the fastest and deliver where and • Not the cheapest when needed • Often the best balance between cost/flexibility and delivery reliability/speed • Can deliver straight to the customer © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chapter 12, Slide 11 (increasing) Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036
Water Mode Strengths Weaknesses • Highly cost effective for bulky items • Works best for high weight-to-value items • Most effective when linked into multimodal system • Limited locations • Relatively poor delivery reliability/speed • Often limited operating hours at docks © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036 Chapter 12, Slide 12
Air Mode Strengths Weaknesses • Quickest delivery over • Often the most longer distances expensive, particularly on a per pound basis • Can be very flexible when linked to highway mode • Works best for low weight-to-value items Grew 90. 5% in value of goods shipped from 1993 to 2002 © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036 Chapter 12, Slide 13
Rail Mode Strengths Weaknesses • Highly cost effective for bulky items • Can be most effective when linked into multimodal system • Limited locations, but better than for water. • Better delivery reliability/speed than water Increasing part of intermodal solutions, dual tracks on major routes © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036 Chapter 12, Slide 14

Justification for Such a Facility · Shift from domestic to global economies · Emergence of just-in-time, flexible and agile manufacturing practices requiring sophisticated logistics solutions · The rapid growth of distribution via air freighters (roughly four times the growth rate of passenger service by the airlines) · The need to use air cargo, shipment by sea, and delivery by trucks and trains in an overall distribution system · The need for a commercial distribution hub in the Eastern United States that can reach more than 6012, Slide 19 © 2008 Pearson Prentice Hall --Introduction to Operations and Supply Chapter Chain Management, 2/e --- Bozarth and Handfield, ISBN: 0131791036 percent of the nation’s population overnight and also
