Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of consumption to meet requirements. It involves integrating information flow, material handling, transportation, warehousing and security. Freight forwarders organize shipments for individuals or corporations by utilizing established carrier relationships to transport goods from manufacturers to markets by negotiated bids that balance speed, cost and reliability. Freight forwarders are responsible for preparing documentation, arranging transportation and insurance, ensuring lowest customs charges, and arranging storage to deliver goods on time and in good condition from one country to another.

15.5 Writing Requests for Proposals
When writing an RFP, be sure to give potential respondents all the information they need in order to craft a meaningful response to your request.
At some point in your career, you might be the one receiving proposals, and learning how to request effective proposals will simplify the process considerably. Various organizations handle RFPs in different ways. When writing an RFP, remember that it is more than just a request; it’s an informational report that provides potential bidders with the information they need to craft effective proposals. Writing an RFP demands careful consideration because it starts a process that leads to a proposal, a contract, and eventually the delivery of a product or the performance of a service. In other words, mistakes at the RFP stage can ripple throughout the process and create costly headaches for everyone involved.
An RFP’s specific content will vary widely from industry to industry, but all RFPs should include some combination of the following elements:9
Company background. Give potential bidders some background information on your organization, your business priorities, and other information they might need in order to respond in an informed manner.
Project description. Put your requirements in context; are you seeking bids for routine supplies or services, or do you need a major computer system?
Requirements. The requirements section should spell out everything you expect from potential vendors; don’t leave anything to unstated assumptions. Will potential vendors provide key equipment, or will you? Will you expect vendors to work under confidentiality restrictions, such as a nondisclosure agreement? Who will pay if costs run higher than expected? Will you require ongoing service or support? Providing this information can be a lot of work, but again, overlooking anything at this point is likely to create considerable problems once the project gets rolling.

How to Perfectly Construct an RFP in 8 Steps
The RFP (request for proposal) is a document that describes project specific requirements and expectations to suppliers with the aim of getting proposed solutions from qualified companies or vendors. The document is helpful for suppliers to establish joint understanding of requirements for a project. The details of RFP depend on scope of the project (Wilkinson & Thorson, 1998). It might involve specific services, products, or outline the expected use of technology and the requirements for project implementation. This means that RFP should be well-conceived, concise, and well-written to attract good vendors. A poorly written RFP attract unsuitable vendors for the project. Ambiguous requirements prevent the qualified candidates from bidding properly. The RFP detail aspects of proposed requirement and what is expected of vendor in meeting the requirement. The final proposal and RFP when agreed become statement of work for contract (Wilkinson & Thorson, 1998). Let’s begin exploring how an RFP is constructed.

1. Define company overview
This section of RFP helps managers contextualize decisions made in the project by considering whether they will be able to provide your company’s specific field with the appropriate material and/or services. It captures information about the organization, what it does and what it is currently doing. Further, the section should culture the uniqueness of the company. The company overview should tell reader about the company values. By describing the value, you are likely to get an organization which has value fit for processes and goals. It defines the reason for writing the RFP. When writing the RFP you are required to introduce the product, the requirements for the product, and the summary of the main points of your request. When defining the company overview, you must also consider including important details to support your request such as customers, clients, and revenue which will be used to raise capital, understand the competitors, and customers’ segments.

Convergence Article. ACC Docket June 2015
This document summarizes key points about legal department convergence processes from the perspectives of both in-house counsel and outside law firms. It discusses how convergence began as a trend started by DuPont in the 1990s to reduce the number of outside law firms used. Legal departments use convergence to better manage budgets, build stronger relationships with fewer firms, and implement performance metrics. Both in-house counsel and law firms must be clear on objectives, use data to inform decisions, and view interviews and implementation as important parts of the process. Overall, the document provides advice for effectively navigating convergence from both sides of the relationship between legal departments and outside counsel.

The document then addresses common misconceptions and outlines benefits of an RFP such as fulfilling fiduciary obligations, benchmarking expenses, providing a bargaining tool, and being an educational experience.

HRKY Fall 13 - Why RFPs Are Worth the Effort
The document discusses the benefits of conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) process when selecting providers for a company's retirement plan. It notes that an RFP documents the due diligence process and can help fiduciaries find more cost-efficient options and understand different service levels. While an RFP is not required, expert testimony and DOL guidance recommend shopping plans every 3-5 years. However, few sponsors have conducted an RFP recently due to misconceptions. The document then addresses common misconceptions and outlines benefits of an RFP such as fulfilling fiduciary obligations, benchmarking expenses, providing a bargaining tool, and being an educational experience.

Apples , oranges & crm software selection
The document provides guidance on selecting a CRM software vendor. It recommends starting with detailed requirements and identifying top vendors. An RFP should be sent to 6-8 vendors to get responses. Shortlist the top 4 vendors based on functional fit, price, implementation capabilities, interest in the project, ease of working with, and long-term viability. Evaluate vendors through demonstrations and site visits. Negotiate pricing and contractual terms before selecting the optimal vendor. The process aims to identify the best fit at the best price through a structured and transparent competitive bidding process.

Ten Steps Cost Reduction Outline With ATS
The document outlines a 10-step process for reducing procurement costs. It begins with gathering spending data, analyzing key budget areas, and determining criteria for "best value." Request for proposals are created and sent to current and potential vendors. Proposals are evaluated and a winning vendor is selected. A contract is signed with the new vendor, and savings from lower pricing are implemented and quantified. The goal is to reduce costs while improving quality, service levels, and control over the procurement process. An example shows one client reducing office supply costs by 52% while centralizing numerous vendors into one.

ILLUSTRATIVE The sourcing process applies a rigorous, proven methodology to categories selected during an opportunity diagnostic Two aspects of how this is done are important: first, a central sourcing group leads company-by-company specific sourcing initiatives. This is a team of sourcing analysts who lead these sourcing initiatives, and once they get through the process - this hands off from the sourcing advisor to a supply chain associate. These associates are spend-category associated (e.g. aircraft components, IT contracts, etc.) Their role is to take the arrangement with the supplier and ensure that it is implemented and see that it goes on within that marketplace. They are responsible for completing the scorecard with the supplier to ensure that it is completed thoroughly and accurately. This handoff occurs in Step 6 during integration.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
