Global Supply Chain Management
Different modes of transportation: * Water * Railroad * Pipeline * Airline
What is the best mode of transporation? (Consider the following): * Noise, congestion, global warming, up- and downstream, air pollution, accidents * Speed, flexibility, safety
Example: Germany in the 50’s (making coal/steel), what would be the best mode of transportation? * Railroads
What is the idea behind “Truckload”? * You need to utilize the cargo of a truck, in simple words fill it up. * Going from A to B and then from B to A, you need to have two full Truckloads to utilize the truck completely
We distinguish between: * Full truckload * LTL (less than truckload) * CEP (Courier, Express Parcel)
Schematic Calculation for short and long haul (LTL): * In the short haul, you pick up everything (i.e. in 5 cities in the Copenhagen Area) * You take it to a HUB * In the long haul you have a full truckload * Arriving in the Jutland Area you disperse the full truckload into smaller trucks (LTL) * And then you do the same going back to Copenhagen
Critical success factors: * Network density, critical volume (economies of scale), standardization etc.
What do you do in the railroad planning: * Same thing as the Trucks. * You gather all the required wagons at a junction station * From there you take the wagons to a marshaling yard * Then you take the long stretch from A to B with ALL the wagons * Upon arrival you disperse the wagons into smaller sections first at a marshaling yard then even more at a junction station
What process steps do you have in sea transportation: * You need to gather everything by truck or railroad * Load it to a container ship qua a port * Ship it * Unload it in a new port * Truck or railroad everything to final destination
e.g. Container transport from Prague to Hong Kong * Land transport: prague to hamburg (650 km – 4% of distance) * Sea transport
