Defective supply chains are costing companies billions every year in lost revenue and create significant negative environmental impact.
Warehouses can play an important role in mitigating the environmental impacts of logistics activities through green initiatives.
Logistics centres being an integral part of manufacturing, the concept of green warehousing is going to be an operational norm, and should attract investment from both MNC’s and SME’s.
MNCs having aggressive targets of reducing carbon emissions from both mobile infrastructure and immobile infrastructure in the entire supply chain, are likely to be the prime investors in this segment.
5 min guide to sustainability: Go green - Save money and the planetAnders Lindgren
Going Green – is it just “greenwashing”? Do organizations prefer to just talk about being green rather than really living green? Let’s be pragmatic. The majority of companies do not embrace Green livingprimarily for ideal reasons. It has always been about cost savings. In the form of reduced expenditures or efficiency gains. Nothing wrong with that approach. Actually it’s the core idea of sustainable development. Saving money and the environment at the same time.
CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY – A KEY FIGURE-BASED APPROACHijmvsc
This paper describes the rationale and the development of a structured digital approach for measuring
corporate environmental sustainability using performance metrics.
It is impossible to imagine today's age without the preservation of our environment, not even in the
corporate environment. Currently, sustainability is mostly only rudimentarily considered in companies,
mostly only with written down phrases on the website. This will no longer be sufficient in the future, which
is why companies should record sustainability on a numerical basis. Based on the development of a
workable concept for companies, a small empirical study was carried out, which can be used to
numerically measure the sustainability performance of companies. Two utility analyses were completed.
One of them was supplemented by expert interviews. Well-known practitioners from the business world
were interviewed and asked for their assessment of ecological performance indicators. The result of the
research is an indicator-based concept that can be applied in corporate practice to determine ecological
sustainability performance.

The report on “Green logistics: Redesigning logistics for a better tomorrow” is a part of joint endeavour between Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Institute of Logistics and TATA Strategic Management group (TSMG) Supply Chain and Logistics Practice to highlight the importance of Green Logistics.
In today’s globalized economy, having a robust and flexible logistics system can be a differentiating factor leading to success or failure of business activities. Implementing Green Logistics not only gives environmental benefits but also several strategic business benefits required to differentiate existing Supply chains. Initiatives such as Network Optimization and Logistics efficiency improvements which greatly contribute in reducing the Carbon footprint also gives a competitive edge to the companies to create a more robust and responsive Supply Chain. Initiatives in Warehouses such as Innovative lighting and other Warehouse efficiency improvements along with adapting to green packaging; aids to this idea of achieving a complete Green logistics. Companies also need to work closely with environmentally responsible Supply Chain vendors and suppliers who have a commitment towards sustainability and have significant experience in providing eco-friendly solutions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

GREEN LOGISTICS - A PESTEL Analysis
Article by
Kaustubh Ashturkar
Suhas Shinde
PGDM -2017-19
Since decades, Green has been the awe-
inspiring catchphrase used by policy
makers and businesses to show their
commitment towards protecting the
environment. Logistics sector is not an
exception and in fact a dark horse. What
we mean by that is logistics is going to
make a large contribution in drastic
reduction in CO2 emissions that will be
required by 2050 to contain global
temperature increase within 2 degree C.
Green logistics in simplest terms
describes all attempts to measure and
minimize the ecological impact of logistics
activities. So broadly speaking, it’s an
environmental issue.
We are going to make a PESTEL analysis
for green logistics as we are going to
throw light on Political, Economic, Social,
Technological, Legal, Environmental
aspects which will have a direct or
indirect impact on green logistics in
coming future. Environmental aspect will
be there with every other aspect
Politics and green logistics:
Political willpower is always required to
implement good things. With the
implementation of GST from July, Logistics
sector is going to gain the most as costs
will come down by 20% as said by
Road Transport and Shipping Minister,
Nitin Gadkari. The important prospect of
green logistics is efficient transportation.
Trucks had to wait long in queues on inter-
state borders to pay taxes. The check posts
on state borders have been removed
already and truck movement will be faster
reducing the slow movement period that
was affecting both the operational
efficiency and environment.
7. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 7
Economy and green logistics:
There are companies comes that separate
themselves from the herd and
differentiates themselves through
leadership, vision, innovation, and a
capacity to change the marketplace.
Walmart is one of those companies.
In a marketing and consumption-driven
world, where taking care of the
environment is always cumbersome in
terms of finance, Walmart broke the mold
by rolling back prices and preconceptions
in the interest of both the environment
and economy. It has created a role model
for sustainability that transcends all facets
of its organization—and extends to
suppliers and customers, as well.
Elizabeth Fretheim, Walmart's director of
business strategy and sustainability,
believes in green logistics to achieve
golden mean between environment and
economy."Within the transportation
function, for example, we want to
accomplish three goals: fill every trailer to
capacity; drive those trailers the fewest
miles possible, and use the most efficient
equipment," she explains. "All these
efforts drive sustainability, as well as
operational efficiency.”
Social viewpoint:
With so many dangerous repercussions of
global warming that we are dealing with,
we simply cannot ignore the
environmental challenges that freight
transport poses.
The environmental impact is much beyond
the oft-maligned GHG emissions from
freight and passenger transport:
warehouses pose a threat to safety of the
neighborhood, more so, if stocked with
hazardous goods; terminals at ports,
airports and stations add to noise pollution
as vehicles and cranes move; discarded
packaging sullies the landscape; improper
waste disposal contaminates land and
water.
Over the years, the share of
rail transport has decreased drastically by
more than two-thirds from 89 % in 1951,
while the share of road transport has
increased seven-times from 10 % within
the same period. Restoring rail as a
primary mode of transport, in particular
for freight, would be essential, as rail
emissions (per tonne km) are at least five
times lesser than road emissions.

Technological improvements aiding green logistics:
Skoda Automobiles is one of the big players in the automobile sector. We are
fortunate enough to get a chance to work with them as interns. ŠKODA AUTO has
developed an innovative 4-in-1 packaging system in cooperation with the packaging
supplier company Pilous for shipping painted bodies from the main plant in Mladá
Boleslav to the Indian plant in Aurangabad. The clever carrier systems arrange two
bodies horizontally on the floor and two others diagonally above in the limited space.
Manufacturing parts can also be fitted into appropriate gaps in the wooden
construction and secured for transport. The 4-in-1-loading technology reduces the
number of containers by a quarter. This saves ŠKODA AUTO well over 800 tonnes of
CO2 per year on the 13,270-kilometre transport route. Nearly all materials used can
be recycled
Legal framework necessary:
For resuscitating and implementing green logistics in India, we need to address the
issue at three levels: public policy, business, and individual—these three tiers interact
with and influence one another. But no cut-and-dried or easy solutions are in sight. In
any case, government intervention for right pricing, incentivizing, laying down
regulations and enforcing them is imperative.

Knowing Carbon Credits
Article By
Shikha Agrawal
PGDM - 2017-19
With environmental conditions
deteriorating day by day, growing
awareness about harmful levels of
Greenhouse Gases (GHG) and the resulting
Worldwide Warming phenomena have
forced the government authorities and
even the private organizations to
implement systems that would help in
reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere.
Out of the several initiatives taken to
protect the environment, the carbon credit
is one method to discourage businesses
from emitting greenhouse gases beyond a
certain limit and reward those who have
their emissions under check. Carbon
credits is an incentive given to an industrial
undertaking, usually an energy company,
for keeping the emission of greenhouse
gases including carbon dioxide to within
one ton. Credits are awarded to countries
or groups that have reduced their
greenhouse gases below their emission
quota.
This can be done by switching to
alternative renewable resources such as
the wind and solar energy or installation
of energy-efficient machinery.
Carbon credits can be legally traded in the
international market at their current
market price. In this system of carbon
trading, controls are imposed on Green
House Gas (GHG) emissions under the
Kyoto Protocol, and the pre decided
emission limits are then allocated across
countries, which have to control the
greenhouse gas emissions from the
various industries and commercial units
operating within them.
10. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 10
The Kyoto Protocol was initiated by the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change and ratified by 181 countries and the European Union as a whole,
individual entity in 1997. It was put into effect in 2005. The protocol was proposed by
the international community to address and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that have
led to global climate change. The Protocol makes it mandatory for commercial entities
emitting above the permitted limit of carbon dioxide to cut down their emissions to
prescribed levels, or they should buy carbon credits certificates which can be transacted
in the market, or alternatively pay a charge for the emissions, which is referred to as
carbon tax.
Businesses that find it hard to comply with the carbon emissions, purchase carbon
credits to offset their emissions by making finance availability easy for any kind of
renewable energy projects, forest protection and reforestation projects around the
world. These renewable energy and energy efficiency projects replace fossil fuel and
industrial processes. This all helps businesses in mitigating their emissions and comply
with the global standards.

IT in Logistics Operations
Inventory Management System
Inventory control systems (ICS) are
applications for tracking inventory levels,
orders, and deliveries. It is used
extensively for production planning so as
to avoid stock outs or overstocking. Using
ERP in combination with Scanners and
barcode can help quickly update inventory.
Manufacturers can create updated multi-
level work orders and bill-of-material
(BOM) based on inventory levels which can
help give better estimates of timelines.
Seasonal Forecasting is critical for efficient
inventory planning.

help manage the acquisition,
manufacturing and distributing of
products to the correct place and in the
correct quantities.
Providing Electronic Data Interfaces (EDI)
along with SCM-CRM integrations not
only help provide optimal delivery of
material but also provide the ability to
track status in real-time by providing a
unified view to the enterprise.
Warehouse Management System
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
are applications for planning material
storage and movement. Additionally,
WMS provide services like Kit Assembly
(given the BOM of kit), Quality Control
and Inspection.
Warehouses use RFID to track inbound
and outbound shipments. Common
processes that can be automated include
Goods Receipt, Storage, Slotting/efficient
placement, Picking/select for the delivery
order, Packaging/Labelling, etc.
13. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 13
Sensors can also help track space
utilization in real-time.
Sample KPI for WMS are:
1.Orders processed per day
2.Order Picking accuracy rate
3.Average Lead time
4.Inventory items incorrectly located
5.Turn around time for availability after
receipt of Sales Order
Fleet Management System
Fleet Management System (FMS) are
vehicular tracking & control systems that
are used for diagnostic, driver, speed
and fuel management of trucks, trailers,
aircraft, ships and rail cars. Fleet
Management makes use of GPS (Global
Positioning Systems), telecom cellular
triangulation or satellite communication
to track the exact location of a vehicle.
Advanced FMS can help provide benefits
of visibility on oceanic routes along with
over-the-air security to track goods in
transit. Sample KPI are Number of
Vehicular Breakdowns. Mileage. Fuel
Consumption.
Shipment Loading and Slotting System
Shipment Loading is the process of distributing large consignments over delivery
schedules and transportation fleet. Transport Management Systems (TMS) help model
the level of LTL (Less than Truckload) and FTL (Full Truck Load). IT applications can
ensure that trucks are loaded optimally so that they’re not empty.
Slotting is the process of intelligent placement of products in the warehouse/
distribution centre for optimal material handling efficiency. IT applications and Sensors
can be used for proposing placement location within a distribution centre for optimal
material handling efficiency. IT applications and Sensors can be used for proposing
placement location within a distribution centre based on factors such as shelf life,
quantity, etc.
14. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 14
Sample KPI are:
Timeslotting.
Number of Barcodes and scanners used
Product pairing together (stored and
retrieved together)
Percent time of FTL
Transport Route Optimization
Transport Management Systems (TMS) in
combination with Cartographic
Information can be used for calculating the
shortest path across multiple drop points.
Real-time traffic data when integrated with
transport management systems (TMS) can
help set up supporting routes/backup
routes for the driver in advance.
Sample KPI are: deliveries on-time, average
delivery cost
Automated Payment Settlement and
Document Processing
Transport Management Systems report
real time status of shipment and
deliveries. When combined with EDI
(Electronic Data Interfaces) integrated
with suppliers’ banks, these applications
can support faster freight settlement to
provide a consolidated view of pending
payments.
Sample KPI are:
Accounts Receivables from Customers,
Resellers et. al.
Accounts Payable to Supplier, transporters
et. al.
Customer Service
Vehicle Tracking and POD (Proof of
Delivery) Systems are used for real-time
delivery information like arrival time,
location, etc. By offering the ability to
track shipments/deliveries, the customer
is more informed which helps reduce
support calls.
Sample KPI are: Orders dispatched per
day, Deliveries on time.
Production Performance Benchmarking
A company may choose to benchmark
their processes for purpose of
Measurement, Comparison, Learning or
Improvement.
ERP databases hold a wealth of
transactional information which when
combined with Business Intelligence
15. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 15
and Machine learning tools can be used for Industry and Competitive analysis.
Other Common KPI are:
Number of Customers
Customer Order per day
Percent of Product Returns
Percent of Product Damaged
Deliveries in Full / day
Deliveries on time / day
Cash to Cash Cycle Time
Procurement and Supplier Management System
Procurement and Supplier Management System (PSMS) is used to maintain records of
purchase related information. These IT systems are used to capture details such as
Purchase Request, Contract Documentation and Management. Vendor related
information such as past performance, bank account details, contact details are also
captured in the system.
Common KPI are :
Cost per Invoice
Time of payment
Discounts Captured
Number of Suppliers
Spend under purchase order
Payment Outstanding Days
Count of PO Modified
From the above, it can be concluded that Information Systems for Inventory
Management, Procurement & Supplier Management,, CRM are critical for and play a
major role in Logistics Operations & Management.

PGDM -2017-19
Key list of characteristics defines the
success of best-in-class supply chains and
set them apart with exemplary
management. These characteristics include
a proactive use of big data, highly
optimized inventory management,
flexibility and speed with order fulfilment,
customization with process
implementation, energy sustainability.
As listed by research and advisory
company, Gartner, Inc., the following
companies exemplify excellence with these
characteristics, setting the mark high for
the demand-driven supply chains of today. As a result of this it developed an
extensive range of product categories
under each business segment. Unilever
found itself becoming inflexible due to
its huge operation and other
inefficiencies. To come out of this mess it
decided to restructure its strategy.
At the beginning of 2000, Unilever began
a five-year growth strategy. This
initiative was named as “Path to Growth
Strategy”. It announced a comprehensive
restructuring in their operation and
business and their SCM, which included
a significant restructuring of their supply
chain management.
UNILEVER –
British-Dutch consumer goods company
Unilever is the second-largest FMCG
player, and offers food, beverages,
personal care products, and cleaning
agents. Unilever was formed in 1930
with the merger of British soap company
Lever brothers and Dutch Margarine
company Margarine Unie. During 1960’s
and 1970’s it expanded by horizontal and
vertical integration emerging as a
diversified conglomerate. In 1980’s it
decided to have a more focused
approach and referred to it as “core
strategy” and focused on four industries
– Food, Personal care, health care and
specialty industry, this decision involved
acquisition and divestiture of brands.
17. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 17
They focused on organization, global procurement processes, supply chain executives,
supplier involvement, and technology. Unilever decided to cut down its vast brand
portfolio from 1600 to 400 and make significant changes to its supply chain of 380
manufacturing plants across the world, by focusing on 150 key factories, in order to
enable its complete focus. Unilever decided to. The major thrust areas were:
1.Implementing executive purchasing
2.Attracting, developing and retaining world class supply management executives
3.Professionalizing the purchase of non-production items
4.Enabling e-sourcing in all worldwide facilities
5.Accelerating and leveraging simplification of supply chain
6.Driving information and management
As a result, they achieved $14.24 billion in savings in 2003 from its initiatives, and
Unilever became a leader in the consumer-packaged industry for technology adoption.
.
Since the company has its operations in
various regions across the globe, it is of
immense importance to have a well-
integrated system that will help in efficient
and quick exchange of valuable data and
information.
Initially, Colgate-Palmolive had a
decentralized structure that was creating
many issues in its business operations
especially in Supply Chain Management
(SCM). In November 1999, the
management team of the company decided
to revamp its IT infrastructure by
implementing a unique and innovative
system that ensured integration of every
function throughout the organization
across all its operational activities on
international level. This new system is
based on the order flow of the customers
and driven by the distribution centres of
Colgate around the globe as the suppliers
are now directly supplying the products.
COLGATE-PALMOLIVE –
Colgate-Palmolive is a top ranked leading
Multinational Corporation in the
consumer products category.
Headquartered at New York, it is
believed to have an asset of $94 billion
that comprises of all its products that it
is selling in more than two hundred
countries. Colgate-Palmolive is involved
in the business of manufacturing and
selling of various consumer products
that comprise of cleaning products,
soaps, toothpastes and pet supplies.

organization is well-aware of the supply
chain statistics; the IT system has
enhanced the company's SCM system
which has helped in utilizing the supply
chain information with accuracy so that
the consumers always had easy access to
the products and the shortage problems
was reduced by 50% in the first three
months of the new ERP software
implementation.
With the help of the latest SCM system,
the suppliers had developed direct links
with the company's production unit and
they were responsible for effective
management of resources at the
distribution centres for supplementing
Colgate-Palmolive business operations.
In order to solve the main issue of
Colgate-Palmolive, a global supply chain
system was developed.
Three key supply chain strategies were
formed as the basis of this system:
1.Introduction of the Vendor Inventory
Control (VMI) product so that there was
a decline in the inventory channel and
timing of the cycle.
2.Implementation of a resource planning
system at cross-border level so that
regional models were developed for the
international patterns; it ensured that
the company had adequate pool of
assets so that there was a balance with
the company's business strategy.
3. Implementation of a collaborative
program that ensured there was a well-
balanced downstream business system
for effective management of the market
demand of supply chain along with
effective coordination of the system's
activities. With the help of new system,

NIKE
Nike is a multinational company and one
of the most widely-known brands of
athletic wear. In 1991 reports about poor
working conditions and media
uncovered claims of child labor and
underpaid workers in several Asian
countries at the Nike factories started
surfacing. Nike denied responsibility for
monitoring malpractice at supplier
locations and responded without

changing practices. In no time Nike was
targeted by campaigners, and a global
boycott campaign began. This campaign
had a huge impact on the demand for
Nike products. Finally, in 1996 Nike
started addressing the issue in a
productive manner. Nike started working
on improving social and environmental
conditions in its global supply chain to
evolve it through integrated
management of sustainability and
innovation, increased supplier
incentives, and systems innovations
intended to prevent problems before
they arise.
In 2009, Nike launched project “Rewire”.
It made several changes in the company
to achieve supply chain sustainability:
1.Transition to a more integrated
organization structure
2.Deliver lean manufacturing training to
build and improve workers’ skills and
efficiency
3.Develop a new supplier incentive
scheme
4.Promote innovation to engage all
relevant stakeholders in creating the
environment needed for systemic
change to take place
Nike believes in the three key aspects of
responsible supply chain management
which will influence the performance
going forward: Integration, incentives,
and innovation.
Rewire strategy showed how the
company is now pursuing a more holistic
approach to improving supply chain
sustainability. Nike has embraced a long-
term perspective. Improving
sustainability performance often
involves heavy investment initially, with
benefits being realized over a longer
term.

Unlike the traditional humanitarian
definition of logistics, Green Logistics is more
concerned in considering the impact of
human actions on environment and
surroundings. Thanks to Industrial Revolution
in the 20th century, which gave a rise to
rapid industrialization in every corner of the
world, which eventually made the life of
human much easier and convenient. In the
increasing arena of manufacturing
enterprises, tech parks, and special
economic zones, it is really incredible that
India today is considered as the fastest
growing economy in the world.
But there is a harsh reality hidden in the
story of shining India. Today, we are one of
the top carbon emitters in the world. Among
the 100 most polluted cities of the world, 33
are Indian. Our CO2 emissions are on all time
high and our global warming levels are
increasing exponentially.
Though changing climatic conditions due to
excessive emission of Green House Gas is not
only a story of India, but it is the pain of the
entire world and every country is looking for
innovations that can reduce pollution.
Though changing climatic conditions due to
excessive emission of Green House Gases is
not only a story of India, but it is the pain of
entire world and every country is
looking for innovations that can
reduce pollution.
This alarming state has made
everyone crazy for becoming eco-
friendly, and logistics sector is no
exception to this; after all, it is one of
the major contributors to
environmental despoliation. Around
15 percent of the total Green House
Gas emission is due to fossil fuels
burnt by transportation and logistics
sector.
Though Logistics and in that matters,
Energy, Industry and Agriculture are 4
pillars of economic development, it is
rightly said that environment and
growth are often understood in
mutually incompatible terms,
A Systematic Approach towards a Better
Ecosystem
21. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 21
especially in India, which is in a great hurry to catch up the economic development.
Though Thermal Power is the major source of CO2 emissions but it is impractical to
drive without it as it contributes to 59.2% of India’s total electricity production.
Agriculture on other hand is undergoing a deep crisis and in this situation,
technological advancements in agriculture are the major need to make India self-
sustainable. Unfortunately, all major technological innovations impact environment
to some extent and thus Agriculture again cannot be touched to renovate harmful
emissions.
The only sector that can become a game changer in this race is Transportation and
here comes into picture the concept of Green Logistics.
Green logistics, in the context of humanitarian logistics, encourages all stakeholders
to consider the impact of their actions on the environment. It is often
misunderstood that Green logistics is confined to Transportation, but it includes
Warehousing, Packaging, and Disposal.
Green Logistics in Transportation
No doubt that Transportation is the major contributor in Green House Emission.
Experts believe that if we could take control over emissions from transport alone,
there can be a lot of improvement in the quality of the air we breathe.
22. MOMENTUM SEPT -2017 22
For achieving these feet, there is a need to
revive Transportation mechanism. By
achieving optimal fuel consumption, we
can hit the bull's eye. It is very important
to choose the best route to reach a
destination in the least time and minimal
fuel. Intermodal Transport i.e using more
than one mode in single delivery is yet
another option that could be used for
long-distance shipments.
After the e-commerce industry took over,
the logistic industry got a revival but now
there is a need to take a control over
freight vehicles and the emissions caused
by them. One solution here could be the
use of efficient fuel vehicles. Apart from
that, a technological solution such as
Route Planning and Mapping System
(RPMS) can be a big booster to organize to
and fro trips.
Green Logistics in Packaging and
Warehousing
Packaging is yet another aspect which can
undergo major changes in order to keep a
check on the environment. Use of eco-
friendly material with minimum use of
Plastic is the elementary requirement. The
design of packages must be changed in
order to optimize the material used. Less
material means less waste and this can be
a game changer in the logistic industry.
Moreover, the lighter the packages will be,
lower will be the fuel required. As far as
Warehouses are concerned, the efficiency
of warehouse increases by arranging the
most frequently picked items closest to the
shipping area. Minimizing the travel time
between picking locations can boost up
productivity. Logistic parks contribute to
reducing logistic costs. Companies with
logistic parks have reduced the supply
chain cost by as much as 50%. Apart from
that, Solar Lit Warehouses can also add
multiple advantages.
Adoption of Green Logistics is a long
journey and destination is still far away.
But this path cannot bet taken by one or
two players. Everyone should join hands
to achieve the achievable. Before
planning a freight, companies should have
answers to following questions: What
kind of vehicles we are going to use and
what kind of vehicle shall we use? Is it
going uphill or downhill? Once they will
have confined answers to these
questions, proper calculations could be
done to optimize the travel from the
environmental point of view.

•In India, roadways constitute up to 60% of
freight movement while railways account
for 32% of the cargo movement.
•Of the total warehousing space of about
1,800 million sq ft, the industrial and
agricultural segments constitute about 86
per cent and 14 per cent, respectively.
•GST has boosted the logistics industry
annual growth rate from 12-15% to 20-
22%
•Indian logistics industry is currently worth
more than $300 billion.
•The first road-worthy cars used a lever
instead of a steering wheel to steer. It had
a design and functioning like that of a joy
stick. Volkswagen named several of its cars
after wind. Passat - a German word for
trade wind; Golf - Gulf stream; Polo - polar
winds; Jetta - jet stream.
•The most expensive car ever sold at a
public auction was a 1954 Mercedes-Benz
W196R Formula 1 race car, which went for
a staggering $30 million at Bonhams in July
2013. The record was previously held by a
1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa Prototype, sold in
California at an auction for $16.4 million.
FedEx Facts:
•Federal Express was created because of
founder Fred Smith's belief in emerging
technology in the early 1970's, and his
recognition of the importance of being able
to get components to manufactures, as
well as products to consumers, quickly. He
was an avid believer that time is money,
and was willing to put his own financial
resources, as well as elbow grease, behind
his budding idea to prove just that point.
•The first FedEx shipment consisted of 186
boxes, sorted by hand on a card table, then
shuffled onto one of 14 jets. Now the
company has over 684 aircraft, including 11
Boeing 777's that can carry 178,000 lbs of
payroll.
•To continue their "better service through
better technology" trend, in the early '80's
FedEx began buying up the 800MHz
spectrum in North America. They built
towers and created a nationwide wireless
data and communications network tied into
a FedEx mainframe so that drivers could
share tracking information from devices
inside their trucks. Keep in mind that this
was way before mobile carriers offered a
cellular data network!

Intern Diaries is an event that was
introduced for the first time in the
academic year 2016 – 2017. The inception
of the event came about from the need to
equip the incoming junior batch with
information regarding summer placements
from the horse’s mouth so that students
do not have to go by hearsay. As a part of
our endeavour to help first year students
clear their doubts and queries regarding
the summer placement process and gain
insight into what to expect from their
internships, Intern Diaries was held on
09.08.2017.
We invited guest speakers, currently
second year students at SIMSR, who
bagged internships in reputed companies.
The seniors walked all the attendees
through the various stages of the interview
and shortlisting process that they went
through. They also gave in depth
explanations regarding the roles that they
worked on in the companies and what was
expected from them. This worked as a one
stop shop for query resolution and helped
in making the resolution process a
personalised and one on one interaction.
This also helped juniors as they got the
chance to interact and get their doubts
resolved.
Our speakers were from a wide range of
specialisations, including but not limited
to operations and marketing. They gave
many inputs to the audience and stressed
heavily on knowing the core values of the
company that one is sitting for and also
making sure that the facts quoted in GDs
are correct and to the point.
With a footfall of over 120 students, we
were happy that the event Intern Diaries
was a success and glad that we could help
provide the necessary inputs for the
internship process. We hope and
encourage similar overwhelming
participation in all future events.
