Globalization Is The Act Of Physical, Political, Social...Angie Lee
This document summarizes a business model that optimizes transportation operations to generate additional revenue. Currently, import stripping operations are inefficient, providing too few empty containers for exports. The business model proposes improving equipment and labor performance in import stripping to increase the number of empty containers transferred for export. This would allow the company to meet export container demands and avoid lost sales from container shortages. By focusing on optimizing core operations in the value chain, this model aims to enhance the customer experience and generate more revenue without requiring new products or services.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
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

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
2. Logistics meaning:
Logisticsrefers to the overallprocess of managing how resources areacquired,
stored, and transportedto their final destination.… The term is now used widely in
the business sector, particularlyby companies in the manufacturingsectors, to
refer to how resourcesare handledand moved along the supply chain.
The process of coordinatingand moving resources – people, materials, inventory,
and equipment – from one location
3. Evolution of Transportation
Logistical evolution means that we can get goods to exactly where
they need to be as well as track the journey. Technology has helped
us to map the most efficient ways of distributing goods. More
thought goes into logistics today than it previously has before. A
popular concept is the seven R's of logistics.
From the beginning of the 1960s until the present year the logistics have
kept on evolving. Logistics can be easily defined as “efficient planning and
implementation of products, services, and information flow from the starting
point (origin) to the endpoint (customers) including transport, storage, and
control”.
4. Components of Supply chain:
1. Three Components of Supply Chain Management
2. A supply chain features three main components: purchasing,
manufacturing and transportation. You will need to make many
key decisions across these three components from start to finish,
including:
3. Materials to be used for products
4. Production amounts
5. Inventory levels
6. Distribution network configuration
7. Transportation for both receiving and shipping
5. Principles of Transportation
1. WALK | Develop neighborhoods that promote walking.
2. CYCLE | Prioritize non-motorized transport networks.
3. CONNECT | Create dense networks of streets and paths.
4. TRANSIT | Locate development near high-quality public transport.
5. MIX | Plan for mixed use.
6. DENSIFY | Optimize density and transit capacity.

7. Objective of Transportation
Transportation planning tends to have multiple objectives, which
usually include: Traffic congestion reductions. Parking cost savings.
Consumer savings and affordability (savings to lower-income
households)
• The primary objective of logistics management is to move the inventory in
a supply chain effectively and efficiently to extend the desired level of
customer service at the least cost as done parallel with waste
management.0
• The operation of transportation determines the efficiency of moving
products. The progress in techniques and management principles
improves the moving load, delivery speed, service quality, operation
costs, the usage of facilities and energy saving.
