This document discusses several topics related to supply chain management:
1. It describes the basic structure of supply chains with materials flowing in from suppliers and products flowing out to customers.
2. It asks about the meaning of "world-class" supply chain management and the characteristics of world-class companies in terms of management, quality control, operations, and technology.
3. It defines enterprise resource planning (ERP) and asks about the tangible and intangible benefits of ERP systems and the reasons why companies implement new ERP solutions.
Urban transport exchange hubs play a key role as an integral part of the transport networks by facilitating relations between public transport modes but also have a function in the city urban planning and in-service facilities [1]. Time savings, urban integration, better use of waiting times and improved operating models are some of the expected benefits of developing efficient city-hubs [2,3]. However, although interchanges are crucial for improving accessibility, there are still problems remaining such as seams or bottlenecks, which are mainly reported in the coordination between the different transport modes and the use of the information systems and management model. In order to examine a part of these problems, the three years (September 2012-February 2015) City-HUB consortium of nine European research institutes from nine countries belonging to the European conference of transport research institutes (ECTRI) project studied 27 multimodal interchanges [4].
Transit-oriented development (TOD): Integrating rail and commercial developme...Atkins
Atkins' technical director Jason Hutchings explores the ways in which cities across the world can gain maximum benefit from their investment in transport, commercial and civic projects through transit oriented development (TOD). TOD facilitates and encourages the use of public transport and provides alternative revenue streams for transport providers and operators, reducing their reliance on state funding for capital investment and operation/maintenance costs. It means transit systems are more popular, accessible and better connected for the commuting population, and commercial property development can be integrated and benefit from such a holistic approach to critical city centre locations. But TOD is not without its challenges. Atkins illustrates the issues and solutions across a range of international projects.
This presentation was first delivered in May 2013 at the 3rd Annual Modern Railways Conference, Singapore.

MBTA Passenger Communications Report - February 2014Marc Ebuña
A brief analysis of the methods employed to convey information to riders by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, the transit authority of the greater Boston metropolitan area. This report also underscores recent successes and identifies areas where significant improvement is needed in order for the transit agency to catch up to the rest of the transport industry. It briefly touches on the need to create a narrative with an appropriate tone with the same tools that enable the agency to listen to its riders, creating a dialogue of credibility and integrity.
In order to increase benefits of a UCC in city logistics, the delivery to the final customers from the UCC can be done using light electric freight vehicles. These LEFV provide numerous operational benefits due to their smaller size while being more sustainable than regular light commercial vans.
LEFV's have several operational limitations as well, mainly concerning their range and loading capacity. In order to successfully combine a UCC with LEFV, smaller inner city microhubs have to be added to the supply chain to provide forward bases of operation for LEFV. Goods are consolidated at the UCC, after which they are shipped to a microhub near the delivery area. From here, the LEFV's carry out the final delivery to the customer.
In this paper by Nick Heijdeman from the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (project LEVV-LOGIC), the case of a coffee and vending machine supplier in Amsterdam was used to analyse the effects of using microhubs and LEFV.
This company already operates out of a UCC, in the research they added microhubs to the supply chain to see their effect. The results showed that using a microhub in the city, in conjunction with a UCC at the edge of the city, was financially more feasible scenario than just using a UCC and delivering directly from it using diesel vans. The case study concludes that in order to make a UCC financially feasible for urban deliveries, it needs to be used in conjunction with LEFV and microhubs.

Due to rapid unplanned development, versatile land use, rapid population
growth, poor public transport system and increase of private car users, traffic
problems are worsening day by day. The only mass transit is bus which is
insufficient in terms of safety, capacity, comfort, and convenience. Considering
the worsening congestion, it is high time to develop effective mass transit
system such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as a means for achieving sustainable
urban transport in the city

Increasing highway capacity is not always a solution to the efficient mobility of people and goods as it leads to more traffic both on the new and existing roads
More traffic means more congestion
With current technology, more traffic means more road crashes, more pollution, more energy wasted, more parking congestion and increasing C02 and climate change
More reliance on car use for mobility leads to poor land use planning decisions and urban sprawl
Especially in towns and cities TDM can reduce the need for motorised transport
TDM can create better use of existing transport transport facilities
In some circumstances TDM can be a cost effective alternative to increasing capacity with new costly infrastructure

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Passenger Interchange
In most major cities the amount of congestion on the roads is increasing.
Some of this is due to commercial vehicles, but by far the majority is due
to private cars. There are several ways of controlling the number of
vehicles using certain areas. These include prohibition of cars in
pedestrian areas, restricted entry, limits on parking, traffic calming
schemes, and so on. A relatively new approach has road-user charging,
where cars pay a fee to use a particular length of road, with the fee
possibly changing with prevailing traffic conditions.
Generally, the most effective approach to reducing traffic congestion is to
improve public transport. These services must be attractive to people who
judge them by a range of factors, such as the comfort of seating, amount
of crowding, handling of luggage, availability off good toilets, safety, and
facilities in waiting areas. Availability of escalators and lifts, and so on.
However, the dominant considerations are cost, time and reliability.
Buses are often the most flexible form of public transport, with the time
for a journey consisting of four parts:
joining time, which is the time needed to get to a bus stop
waiting time, until the bus arrives
journey time, to actually do the travelling
Leaving time, to get from the bus to the final destination.
Transport policies can reduce these times by a combination of frequent
services, well-planned routes, and bus priority schemes. Then convenient
journeys and subsidized travel make buses an attractive alternative.
One problem, however, is that people have to change buses, or transfer
between buses and other types of transport, including cars, planes, trains,
ferries and trams. Then there are additional times for moving between
one type of transport and the next, and waiting for the next part of the
service. These can be minimized by an integrated transport system with
frequent, connecting services at 'passenger interchanges'.
Passenger interchanges seem a good idea, but they are not universally
popular. Most people prefer a straight-through journey between two
3. points, even if this is less frequent than an integrated service with
interchanges. The reason is probably because there are more
opportunities for things to go wrong, and experiences suggests that even
starting a journey does not guarantee that it will successfully finish.
In practice, most major cities such as London and Paris have successful
interchanges, and they are spreading into smaller towns, such as
Montpellier in France. For the ten years up to 2001, the population of
Montpellier grew by more than 8.4 per cent, and it moved from being the
22nd largest town in France to the eighth largest. It has good transport
links with the porti of Sete, an airport, inland waterways, main road
networks and a fast rail link to Paris. In 2001, public transport was
enhanced with a 15 kilometer tramline connecting major sites in the town
centre with other transport links. At the same time, buses were rerouted
to connect to the tram, cycling was encouraged for short distances, park-
and-ride services were improved, and journeys were generally made
easier, As a result, there has been an increase in use of public transport,
a reduction in the number of cars in the town centre, and improved air
quality. When the tram opened in 2000, a third of the population tried it
in the first weekend, and it carried a million people within seven weeks of
opening. In 2005, a second tramline will add 19 kilometers to the routes.
Questions:
(a) Are the problems of moving people significantly different from the
problems of moving goods or Services?
(b) What are the benefits of public transport over private transport?
Should public transport be encouraged and, if so, how?
(c) What are the benefits of integrated public transport systems ?
