improve logistics systems The fundamentals of a country’s logistics system
remain the best predictor of cost and efficiency5 Czinkota: International Business, 8e

The contest is judged by representatives from Industry Week and Transportation and Distribution. The stories behind the “Shipments from Hell” illustrate that a host of bizarre circumstances can turn an ordinary shipment into a comedy of errors.

Ocean Shipping
Chapter 16
Types of service vessels Liner service offers regularly scheduled passage on
established routes Bulk service provides contractual services for individual

Conventional (break bulk) vessels – For oversized/unusual cargo Container ships – Standardized containers Roll-on-roll-off (RORO) ships – Oceangoing ferries Lighter Aboard Ship (LASH) – Barges stored on the ship and
lowered at the point of destination to operate on inland waterways
Limited by what the port can accommodate

Air Shipping
Chapter 16
Airfreight is available to and from most countries It is often a matter of national prestige to operate a
national airline About 20 percent of the worlds manufactured exports
by weight travel by air

Airlines continue to make major efforts to increase the volume of air freight

higher cost of airfreight can be justified
Preferential policies by government International quota systems of
transportation

finished goods Inventory carrying costs – The expense of maintaining inventories Just-in-time Inventory – Materials scheduled to arrive when
needed
Order Cycle Time – The amount of time between the placement of an order and receipt of merchandise Length of the total order cycle
EDI – Electronic data interchange can streamline processing and administration as well as reduce costs
Order filling time can increase due to lack of familiarity Transportation time is longer due to distances involved
Consistency – Delivery times may vary more internationally
16 Czinkota: International Business, 8e
International Inventory Issues
Chapter 16
Customer Service Levels The responsiveness that inventory policies permit for
any given situation The international service level should be based on
expectations encountered in each market Strategically placed depots can boost responsiveness

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is designed to coordinate U.S. efforts in the war against terror.

Managers are often faced with the trade-offs between environmental concerns and logistical efficiency
Environmental practices are those that bring about fewer shipments, less handling, and more direct movement
25 Czinkota: International Business, 8e
Reverse logistics concerns the handling and disposition of returned products and use of related materials and information. This costs U.S. companies more than $35 billion annually. With the rising costs of oil and other commodities, companies are beginning to see used products less as trash and more as the sum of their raw materials, energy, and labor.
Focus on Business: Reverse Logistics, or Turning “Trash into Cash”
26Chapter 16 Czinkota: International Business, 8e
Reverse Logistics during the Holidays
Chapter 16
According to a survey commissioned by eBay, nearly 60 percent of Americans receive unwanted gifts during the holidays. More and more companies acknowledge that reverse logistics is a critical part of the supply chain. Without a comprehensive return system, retailers can lose millions in revenue.
Two recent studies show returned merchandise costs the consumer electronics industry $10 billion annually, while personal computer returns amount to $1.5 billion per year.
Many companies are seeking new ways to develop or enhance their return systems. For example, companies such as Eastman Kodak and Hewlett-Packard have implemented successful reuse and recycling programs of returned items.
