AREAS OF POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENT & APPROACHES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT LOGISTICS
DISCUSSIONS, CONCLUSIONS & THE WAY FORWARD
Last-mile delivery is the final stage in the network of courier, express, and parcel companies
(CEP). It is an entire ecosystem that brings a variety of goods to consumers’ doorsteps (or
very close). In 2016, we looked at the transport market – and in particular last-mile delivery –
from two industry perspectives: commercial vehicles (advanced industries sector) and CEP
(logistics sector). Our analyses revealed three main insights
Last mile delivery is defined as the movement of goods from a transportation hub to the final delivery destination. The final delivery destination is typically a personal residence. The focus of last mile logistics is to deliver items to the end user as fast as possible. Last mile logistics has become a popular area of interest for retailers due to the growing demand for fully integrated omni-channel retailing. Evolving omni-channel needs have forced retailers to evaluate current transportation network capabilities and make adjustments accordingly.
Focus has been placed on last mile logistics because, in many cases, this is a key differentiator for retailers. Because consumers can easily shop for product alternatives retailers and their supply chain partners must provide exceptional service to gain market share and build brand loyalty.
Last mile delivery is becoming more important than ever due to the surge of online orders. E-commerce sales are expected to reach $1.35 billion by 2018, an increase of 28.8% from 2013. These expected increases span across a variety of product types including apparel, entertainment, food, health & beauty, electronics and more.
Retailers must begin to prepare their transportation networks for traffic fluctuations caused by the expected growth in online sales. Traditional transportation methods such as UPS, FedEx and USPS are not successful in all regions and retailers are beginning to search for alternatives to satisfy their needs. In order to accommodate faster shipping times, changing regulation and infrastructure limitations retailers and their transportation partners have started to research delivery alternatives including click-to-collect locations, local regional carriers, drones and much more.
By focusing on last mile delivery alternatives retailers are able to provide and guarantee exceptional service levels to their customers and adapt to the constantly changing omni-channel retail environment.

Information sharing is a major challenge in SCM due to the geographical spread of partners and monumental paper work involved across countries and regions. Digitisation impacts the flow of goods, funds and information. It is at the threshold of introducing the Smart Factory where all flows are automated. How relevant are these technologies for India? What can be the Smart Approach for India in sequencing the adoption of these technologies? We present a suggested approach here.
What is Last Mile Delivery Part 2: Adapting to Retail and e-Commerce Order Fu...Angela Carver
The increasing popularity of omni-channel retailing has created many challenges for transportation and logistics providers servicing retailers. This has forced transportation operations to think outside of the box and make significant changes to their service offering portfolios. Omni-channel retailing has made fulfilling customer orders efficiently and cost effectively much more complex with a variety of new distribution strategies.
E-commerce orders grew 47% between 2009 and 2014 in comparison to only 6% at brick and mortar store locations. E-commerce sales are expected to reach $2.3 trillion by 2017. This shift in retail channel utilization has increased the order fulfillment needs and associated labor costs. Retailers are evaluating existing distribution networks to verify they can handle the added volume and are seeking out additional delivery solutions as a supplement. In many cases, these additions are in the form of local and regional distribution centers.
Rising shipping costs have also been a significant challenge for last mile delivery as they account for approximately 28% of total transportation costs. Shippers have many options for counteracting rising shipping costs including: intermodal freight utilization to link logistics clusters, shipment consolidation with crossdocking, primary delivery channel elimination and click-to-collect/ parcel locker centers to consolidate parcel drop-offs.
Governmental regulations have also created problems related to last mile logistics, both in the US and abroad. Regulations such as vehicle size and weight limitations, parking policies and noise restrictions. To avoid these issues some transportation operations are investing in smaller delivery vehicles for use in local regional delivery operations. These vehicles are typically more compliant with imposed noise and size restrictions. In areas where even these smaller vehicles are not an option some logistics providers have started to offer bike delivery and contracted one-time delivery services through businesses such as Uber.
Demand for up-to-date order information has also become an issue for many omni-channel retailers. Customers now want to know when their order has been accepted, processed, shipped and delivered. In order to provide this level of detail omni-channel supply chains are implementing inventory management software such as WMS with customer relationship management capabilities to provide real-time information to customers.
In order to provide a positive final impression on consumers retailers must focus on last mile logistics. Focusing on these potential solutions can help retailers to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and cost of last mile delivery operations.

Logistics are vital to ensuring that a city is both dynamic and pleasant to live. Organizing city logistics operations more efficiently and more sustainably can significantly reduce the negative aspects of vibrant cities, such as pollution and noise.
In collaboration, TNO, CE Delft and Connekt have developed the Outlook City Logistics 2017, to show how changes in city logistics can help achieve the Paris climate goals by 2050.

Freight transport constitutes a very significant but under researched part of total transport demand, and one in which
the prospects for lower energy use and associated lower
carbon emissions may prove particularly elusive. Reducing
energy use and carbon emission whilst maintaining the freight
transport services that the modern global economy requires
will hinge on many recent and current trends being changed.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

5. WHAT IS LOGISTICS?
❑The effective and productive management of the movement of all sorts of products,
services, and information flow encompassing the production point and consumption point
of the source within the supply chain that is conducted to meet the needs of customers.
❑The logistics management process,
▪ the planning, application, transportation, warehousing, and controlling of all activities
relating to the logistics

6. KEY LOGISTICS
ACTIVITIES
o Customer service
o Demand Forecast
o Product management
o Information communication
o Material management
o Ordering
o Packaging
o Parts and service support
o Storage
o Transportation
Transportation in the last mile takes
place at the customer-end of the supply
chain, is concentrated in urban areas
and is responsible for around 25% of
GHG emissions from all transportation
(European Commission, 2011c).

7. KEY DEFINITIONS
Logistics Management
• It is applied to increase the effectiveness and
productivity of the logistics activities conducted
in order to meet the needs of customers
relating to the two way flow of materials,
services and information between the
production and customer
Logistics Inputs
• Facility, Hardware, Human Resources,
Information Resources, Financial Resources.
Logistics Outputs
• Damage Free Delivery Of Right Product, At
Right Place, On Right Time, With Right
Quantity, Right Cost And Highest Flexibility.
Logistics Management
• Planning, Application, Control.
Objectives of the logistics management
• Quick Response
• Minimum Stock
• Cargo Load Consolidation
• Quality (Claims Bonus and Performance)
• Traceability (Cargo Load and Vehicle Tracking)
• Life Cycle Support (Spare Parts and
Packaging Materials Recalls)
7
8. WHY LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT?
▪ Increased transportation distance & cost
▪ Focus on the logistics operations
• to reduce operating costs
• To give a quick response to the changes occurring in the production technology
▪ Need to ensure the diversity of products & services
• to meet consumer needs
▪ Increased efficiency of the developing computer use & communication systems
▪ Increase in the number of businesses in a competitive environment
▪ Need to provide services which are outside the main activities of the company but within the supply
& demand chains such as transportation, warehousing, inventory management & distribution
▪ Increased importance of knowledge management due to knowledge economy
8
9. Prior to the 1980s
• Primarily concerned with the outbound flow of finished goods and services, with an
emphasis on physical distribution and warehouse management.
• Focused on its role to support an organization's business strategy
• Provide time and place utility.
During the 1980s
• The industry globalization and transportation deregulation led to the expansion of
logistics beyond outbound flows
During the 1990s
• A new definition of logistic was changed as a result of accelerated market changes due
to shrinking product lifecycles, demand for customization and etc.
During the 2000s
• These years experienced further changes as to how logistics is defined.
• Development in international trade, supply chain management, technology and
business process reengineering generated a need to re-evaluate the logistics concept.

11. TRANSPORT SECTOR & ENERGY
❑Consumed 63 % of the world’s oil in 2013
❑Contributed 19% of global energy consumption & 23% of energy-related CO2 emissions
❑Road transport in developing countries –expected increase of 2.8% per year(2013-2030)
❑Road transport accounts - 70 % of all GHG emissions from transport - European Commission
❑Energy consumption and transport-related CO2 emissions should increase approximately 50%
by 2030 and over 80% by 2050 if no immediate actions taken-Transport, Energy & CO2 –
Moving Toward Sustainability (IEA/OECD 2009) report
❑Actors in logistics and freight transport face increased pressure to reduce the climate impact
of their operations and to become more environmentally sustainable

16. HOW BIG IS THE GLOBAL LOGISTICS INDUSTRY?
❑ Global logistics industry range : USD8 trillion -USD12 trillion annually
❑ In U.S - up to 10% of GDP is attributed to the logistics industry in any given year
❑ The U.S. logistics market - closing in on the USD2 trillion level,2019
❑ Globally, many believe that the logistics market represents approximately 12% of the entire world’s GDP.
❑ The disparity in the percentage of GDP used to predict the size of the logistics market has been attributed to the
inefficiencies that exist in supply chains in many regions outside of the U.S., creating an elevated cost structure by
comparison.
❑ The global logistics market was USD9.6 trillion in 2018, according to research and consulting firm Armstrong & Associates
Inc. Trucking accounted for 43% of total logistics costs globally.
❑ The costs associated with storing inventory represented one-third with non-trucking modes – maritime, rail and air –
under 14% of the total.

19. CURRENT STRUCTURE OF TRANSPORTATION IN
LOGISTIC (MALAYSIA)
❑ Opportunity to create an additional value of about RM9-11 billion over the next decade, which contributes
approximately 12.1% to the GDP, if the supply-chain competitiveness is improved through more efficient transport and
logistics services.
❑ Reducing the supply chain cost will ultimately stimulate further national growth as the World Bank has estimated that a
10% reduction in transportation costs can increase trade by 20%.
❑ Various incentives have also been introduced by the government (Eg: Integrated Logistics Services (ILS) incentives).
❑ In 2005, the industry in which comprises of transport, storage and communication services contributed 8.8% to the
country’s GDP.
✓ The role and importance is officially mentioned and highlighted regarding the enhancement of Malaysia’s progress in
industrialisation and international trade.
✓ The targets underlined by the government includes the achievement of overall growth of 8.6% by the year 2020, which
is equivalent to approximately 12.1% contribution to the GDP.

20. LIBERALISATION OF LOGISTICS SECTOR IN ASEAN
❑ To enhance the integration of the logistics service sector.
❑ Specific measures and timelines for integration, liberalisation and facilitation of the logistics sector have been
outlined in the ASEAN Roadmap for Integration of Logistics Sector, which includes:
i. The coverage of logistics services for liberalisation
ii. Issues related to trade and customs facilitation
iii. Expanding the capability of ASEAN logistics service providers
iv. Human resources development; and enhancing multimodal transport infrastructure investment.
❑ The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) are taking responsibility to meet the liberalization targets
under ASEAN (MITI, 2007; 2008).
20
21. ❑Monitoring and follow up actions have been lacking in rectifying the situations.
❑Issues involving one sector have not been looked into in total as to how it will affect other
sectors.
❑This is crucial for the newly set up MLC in allowing any coordination actions to be taken.
(1)
Lack of follow up actions
and coordination
❑Consequently given rise to the need for more sophisticated management of the supply
chain companies.
(2)
Lack of sophisticated

THE LOGISTICS & SUPPLY CHAIN CHALLENGES
IN MALAYSIA
21
22. ❑Most of Asian uses containers for the maritime part of trips,
❑Loading and unloading them in the ports rather at the origin and destination of their cargo.
❑This eliminates the main cost-saving advantages of container use.
❑To achieve this integration, it needs to:
i. Match inland with maritime infrastructure
ii.Simplify trade documentation
iii.Develop an efficient freight forwarding industry
iv.Develop effective communications systems
(4)
Multimodal
Transport
❑Access to supply chain finance is critical for shippers / logistic companies
❑Required for letters of credit, open accounts, freight audit payments etc.
❑Checking freight invoices has never been easy – rates are diverse and complicated, and carrier
references may not always be correct.
❑Transportation is a cash intensive business. Delays in payment could adversely affect the
shippers.
(5)
Supply Chain
Finance
❑These manufacturers have high value to weight ratios, the ad valorem cost of their air transport is
comparatively low
❑Good air freight facilities are important in attracting fast growing, high value-added industries.
❑to act as a hub for major logistics companies is growing tremendously, providing services equally
or better than the other.
❑compete and cooperate with each other to provide air transport-based freight services.

❑Includes oceans and the groundwater.
❑Each year, there are ecological catastrophes related to the sinking of oil tankers.
❑The groundwater and rivers in rural areas the most damaged areas.
❑Aquatic species are threatened by this form of pollution
❑It is to be feared that some of them will disappear in the long term.
(2)
Pollution in the
aquatic
environment
The goal of environmental sustainability:
✓ To minimize environmental degradation and to stop and reverse the process that leads to environmental
degradation (Witkowski 2009).
ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE IN GLOBAL LOGISTICS
TRANSPORTATION(1/2)
24. ❑Causes noises that could harm people and wildlife.
❑The sound of vehicles becomes a real nuisance beyond 50 km / h. The noise caused by
rail transportation is due to wheel-rail contact, squealing of brakes or taking curves, from
the diesel engine and aerodynamics for the TGV.
❑It is a discomfort and can cause problems of communications, insomnia, and stress.
❑These noises are also a nuisance for natural environments and wildlife.
(3)
Noise pollution
❑The development of transportation and logistics infrastructure leads to a large
consumption of space.
❑The flora/fauna, agriculture and the environmental heritage end up being damaged.
❑Leads to acidification of soils and plants.
❑Affect the depletion of the ozone layer due to greenhouse gases.

38
39. CAPACITY UTILIZATION
▪ Utilizing overcapacity in freight transportation
& logistics reduces energy consumption
▪ Energy-centric perspective
• capacity is an energy consuming unit & its
availability in freight transportation constitutes
both an environmental & economical challenge
▪ Unutilized capacity in the system
• an unwanted overcapacity; or
• a planned spare capacity-exists to
manage fluctuations in demand
39
40. 1. FRAMEWORK OF CAUSES & COUNTERMEASURES OF
UNUTILIZED CAPACITY IN ROAD FREIGHT TRANSPORT
40
41. 2.COMPONENTS THAT SHAPE EE IN LAST-MILE FULFILMENT
• Last-mile fulfilment is among the most energy consuming logistics operations in the supply chain
because of the vast amount of stops and low fill rates
41
42. ENERGY
EFFICIENCY
INDICATORS
IN LAST-MILE
FULFILMENT
▪ Transportation execution represents the
immediate energy consuming activity
within the fulfilment options
▪ Can be evaluated through Energy
Efficiency Indicator(EEI)
• the average distance a commercial
vehicle must drive to drop off a
parcel
• the average fill rate of the
commercial vehicle
• the average time needed to drop off
a parcel
• the average distance driven by a
private vehicle to pick up the parcel.
42
46. EEI IN LAST-MILE
FULFILMENT
▪ Private vehicles can be less energy efficient than commercial
vehicles, when distances to a local store are short
▪ The distribution structure sets the conditions for energy
efficiency in different ways & determines if a supply-push of
speculation or demand-pull of postponement strategy is followed
▪ Household logistics capability plays a key role in the energy
efficiency of last-mile solutions.
▪ Household logistics capability as part of the effort towards energy
efficiency & the consumer as co-producer of logistics solutions
• The use of passenger cars to collect goods is apparent in all
options, except home deliveries
• The ability to receive home deliveries is important to reduce the
number of delivery failures, for which LSPs must show up several
times or drop the shipment off at a central collection point
46
47. 3.ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN FREIGHT TRANSPORT
▪ Energy-efficient freight transport needs to be approached in its wider system that is, the
logistics system
▪ To radically decrease the energy consumption from transport, technological advances
alone will not be enough
▪ Requires changes in behaviour & structure of the logistics system
▪ Logistics systems can become more energy-efficient through behavioural changes among
end-consumers, shippers & logistics service providers (LSPs)
47
48. GENERAL ACTIVITIES FOR MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT
FREIGHT TRANSPORT
▪ Approaches for the shift to more environmentally friendly
• Development and implementation of handling methods and equipment for the
intermodal freight transport

59. POTENTIAL & CHALLENGES FOR IMPROVEMENT OF EE IN
LOGISTICS – CAPACITY UTILIZATION & FREIGHT TRANSPORT
▪ EE measurement & implementation
• Lack of conceptualization of EE in logistics
• The problem of methodology
• Diversity in practice
▪ Energy efficiency improvement can be achieved
• directly by approaching ‘energy’ (type and amount)
• indirectly through utilizing overcapacity from road freight transportation & adjacent logistical activities
▪ Approaching capacity utilization on different system levels opens up new potential for improvement of EE
▪ The complex logistics system needs to be simplified & broken down to make high energy consumption
more manageable
• LSPs can improve energy efficiency by utilizing capacity in the transport vehicles & on a higher system level through
coordination of logistical activities
• Shippers can see their business processes in relation to the logistics system & understand where their requirements cause
unutilized capacity
▪ End consumers can take on both active & passive roles in the logistics fulfilment in order to improve EE
