Michigan ranks highly in transportation and logistics metrics. It is first in surface trade with Canada and has extensive transportation infrastructure including ports, airports, bridges, and rail systems. The Detroit region in particular is a major international trade hub, with the busiest border crossing between Canada and the US. Transportation projects aim to upgrade infrastructure to support anticipated growth in trade and freight movements through the region.
The total social logistics in China valued RMB96.65 trillion in 2009, up 7.5% over the same period of previous year. In each quarter of 2009, the total amount of social logistics grew at an increasing speed, and the increasing trend surpassed the declining trend in Q3 of 2009, leading to the cumulative growth rate of 2%. This shows that China logistics industry tended to be stable and rebound with the economic recovery. The total social logistics in China valued RMB25.9 trillion in Q1 2010, increasing by 20.8% according to comparable prices. In 2010, China logistics industry will maintain rapid growth.
New trends on MODERN Shipping & Transhipment Port (eng) danny diep to (f)Danny Diep To
The document discusses new trends in modern shipping and transhipment ports. It covers the rise of mega alliances between shipping companies, mega ships carrying over 18,000 containers, and the need for mega hub ports capable of handling these large vessels. Specific trends covered include increased automation, use of electronic documentation, and exploration of new shipping routes like the Arctic route. The document argues these mega trends are driven by desires for economies of scale and cost reduction amid intense industry competition.
GRID Logistics Inc. proposes a 3-part solution to modernize container port logistics in Southern California.

It outlines the current public transportation network of Metrorail, Metromover, South Dade Busway, and Tri-Rail commuter rail. It also discusses plans to expand the system through new Metromover lines, Bus Rapid Transit corridors, Express Lanes on highways, and the All Aboard Florida passenger rail project. The goal is to invest over $15 billion in transportation infrastructure improvements over the next 20 years to create a sustainable and globally competitive transportation system for the growing region.
Port terminal operations cost contribution to the supply chain Tristan Wiggill
Transnet Port Terminals' contribution to supply chain costs is relatively low. The World Bank report found that Transnet's port charges and terminal handling fees combined make up only 15.6% of the total cost of exporting a container from Johannesburg to Rotterdam. Inland transportation and handling costs are much higher, accounting for 60% of total supply chain costs. Compared to other countries, South Africa's port charges are around 12% lower than the global average. While it is expensive to trade from South Africa due to its distance from major markets, Transnet's fees are competitive internationally and not a primary contributor to high supply chain costs from South Africa.
Presentation kazakhstan transport opportunities v2jantomczyk
Kazakhstan is developing its transport infrastructure to connect Asia and Europe by creating a land bridge for rail, road, and air transport. The country's existing infrastructure needs modernization, including upgrading thousands of kilometers of rail lines and roads, improving airports, and expanding ports. There are opportunities for foreign companies in construction, engineering, supplying equipment and materials, and providing training as Kazakhstan works to meet international standards and develop its transportation sector over the long term. Local partnerships can help foreign companies be more successful in winning contracts for Kazakhstan's infrastructure projects, which are funded by organizations like the Asian Development Bank, EuropeAid, and World Bank.

Supply Chain Opportunity Assessment: Economic Development for SE Michigan Fin...Detroit Regional Chamber
The document provides an overview of a supply chain opportunity assessment project for Southeast Michigan, Northwest Ohio, and Southwest Ontario (SEMI/NWOH/SWON). It discusses workshops held to identify key capabilities and industries for the region to develop into a supply chain hub. These include advantages like airport and highway infrastructure, skilled labor, and proximity to Canadian ports. The document also analyzes strengths and weaknesses of the region and outlines a strategy to develop targeted industries and address challenges like perceived high costs and lack of regional coordination.
Cyndy Nayer is the co-founder and CEO of Leveraging Health, an organization focused on linking health policy and management to value-based designs. Their mission is to maximize the value of every dollar spent on health by identifying innovations that improve health and economic outcomes. Leveraging Health publishes research on value-based designs and how sectors like employers can implement strategies focused on outcomes like prevention, chronic care management, and appropriate care delivery. Value-based designs engage employees, employers, and providers by incentivizing health outcomes through benefit designs and aims to improve health status through behavioral change interventions.
The document discusses value-based design (VBD) and its focus on using data and incentives to improve health outcomes, quality, and cost efficiency. It notes that VBD leverages prevention, chronic care management, and appropriate care delivery. Successful VBD requires engagement of employees, employers, and providers, and focuses on communication and alignment of incentives.
This document summarizes health care cost trends and initiatives for the City of Cincinnati from 1999-2009. It shows rising health care costs until initiatives like an 80/20 plan in 2005 and the Healthy Lifestyles wellness program launched in 2007 helped control increases. The Healthy Lifestyles program provides incentives for preventative health activities to encourage employees to adopt healthier lifestyles and lower costs long-term. Statistics on program participation and incentives earned are provided for 2007-2009, showing increasing participation over time.
The document discusses payment reform and outlines Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's new payment model. The current fee-for-service model rewards volume over value. The goals of payment reform are to reward high value services, remain profitable by keeping people healthy, and pay less for lower quality care. The new BCBSM model includes tiered fees to pay high performing providers more, steering patients to these providers, privileging only high performers for certain services, shared savings programs, and bundled payments to expand DRG-based hospital payments to other services. The transformation requires linking higher payments to better performance over the long term through stepwise changes aligned with payment reforms.
1) Current payment systems incentivize providers to focus on high-volume procedures over management and coordination of care.
2) Reforming payments to better reflect the relative costs of different services and paying for outcomes rather than individual services could help address these issues.
3) There are several promising approaches under development, including bundled payments, patient-centered medical homes, and accountable care organizations. However, challenges remain around implementation and coordination across payers.
The document discusses various payment reform models that aim to control rising health care costs while maintaining or improving quality. It describes bundled payment, global payment, and medical home models. Bundled payment sets a single payment for all services for an episode of care. Global payment provides a set monthly fee per patient. The medical home model pays providers additional fees for care coordination capabilities. Implementation challenges include determining who oversees the payments and driving delivery system transformation. Evidence suggests these models may reduce costs but their effects on quality and access require further study.
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act aims to address problems in the US healthcare system like the large number of uninsured, rising costs, and quality and access issues. It will expand coverage to 32 million uninsured through Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges. Reforms to payment and delivery systems are also expected to help slow premium growth and reduce costs over time. Implementation will occur gradually through 2019, with many provisions taking effect in 2014 such as the individual mandate, Medicaid expansion, and state-based insurance exchanges.
