Collaborative Logistics creates a true win/win scenario that allows all members of the logistics community to reduce hidden costs and share the savings.Breaking Traditional Performance Barriers for Shippers, Carriers Retailer and Consumer
Some of the results :
• Increased logistics service performance at a reduced cost for the shipper;
• Better margins and lower driver turnover for the carrier.
Transport costs depend on accurately measuring outputs and how costs vary with output levels over time. Long-run costs allow varying all inputs and capacity, while short-run costs have fixed inputs. Output measures for transport include tonne-weight, tonne-kilometres, and volumetric measures. Cost functions relate costs to output based on production functions. Long-run average cost curves are typically U-shaped while short-run analysis assigns costs within an output range and time period. Fixed costs are expenses that don't vary with activity, and variable costs directly vary with activity.
The document discusses logistics outsourcing and outlines four levels of logistics activities that can be outsourced. Level 1 includes transportation and warehousing activities with short-term contracts. Level 2 involves value-added activities like packaging. Level 3 is planning activities such as inventory and transport management. Level 4 is outsourcing total distribution network management and long-term strategic decisions. Outsourcing can improve logistics performance by allowing firms to focus on core competencies while logistics service providers achieve economies of scale.

Improvement of the quality management methods of cargo transportation by road...Igor Britchenko
Quality occupies a key position in the economic and social strategy of developed countries, and its level is a reliable indicator of the general state of the economy. Quality provides an innovative vector of development and is an integral component of the development of all industries. The level of development of the transport sector, as a component of the road and transport complex, is one of the most important characteristics of the development of modern society – its social orientation. In the transport enterprises of Ukraine, the underestimation of the importance of the comprehensive development of the quality management system has led to an increase in defects in the infrastructure of railways, road, water and air transport, which significantly increases the risk of traffic safety violations. Improvement of quality management systems is one of the most important areas of transport development. The main task of transport is timely, high-quality and complete satisfaction of the needs of the economy and the population in transportation, increasing the economic efficiency of its work. The solution to the problem of effective distribution of goods and improvement of the quality of service to consumers of transport services in market conditions is closely related to the problem of service quality. Only a high level of service quality can ensure a reliable sales market for the services of transport enterprises. A high level of service quality and efficiency should be supported by an appropriate level of material and technical support, including the development of a system of warehouse and container terminals, modern loading and unloading equipment, computerized IT and management tools. Therefore, in the modern conditions of the transformation of Ukrainian society and changes in economic interaction, quality problems caused by the presence of a competitive environment require careful research. Special attention is paid to processing and data processing, the order, cycle and context of each stage of practical application of functional analysis and cost analysis for quality management in the transport industry.

This document provides an overview of transportation systems and carrier selection. It discusses the economic role of transportation, the basic modes of transportation including their characteristics and market share, and the carrier selection process. Key factors in carrier selection are discussed such as cost, transit time, reliability, and capability. Legal classifications of carriers including common, contract, and private carriers are also overviewed.
Carriers provide transportation services by moving cargo and passengers from one location to another. They utilize resources like vehicles, fuel, infrastructure, labor, and terminals. Their output is measured in ton-miles and passenger-miles. Costs for carriers include fixed costs and variable costs that make up their short-run and long-run total costs. Economies of scale exist when costs increase by a smaller percentage than the increase in output. Diseconomies of scale occur when costs rise more than output. Unit costs for multiple service carriers are calculated using long-run average incremental total costs.
A Review on Performance of Toll Plaza by using Queuing Theoryijtsrd
One of the key problems in the study of any stream of traffic system is the analysis of delay. Delay is a more delicate concept. It may be well defined as the difference between the actual travel time on a given section and some ideal travel time of that section. This raises the question as what is the ideal travel time. In practice, the ideal travel time chosen will depend on the situation. There are two particular travel times that seem best suited as benchmarks for assessment with the actual performance of the system. These are the travel times under free flow conditions and travel time at capacity. Most recent research has found that for highway systems, there is reasonably little difference between these two speeds. The analysis of delay normally focuses on the delay when demand exceeds its capacity. Such delay is known as queuing delay, and may be studied by means of queuing theory. This theory involves the analysis which is known as a queuing system, which is composed of a server, a stream of customers who demand service, and a queue or line of customers waiting to be served.

This document provides a theoretical analysis of the passenger handling process from when a passenger enters an airport terminal until they exit, linking it to the value chains of airports and airlines. It establishes the concepts of Porter's value chain and applies it to analyze the aviation industry value chain, airport value chain, and airline value chain. Empirical research is cited to support the passenger handling process as occurring where passengers interact with ground staff within the airport and airline value chains. The document concludes that further optimizing existing passenger processes will provide limited improvements, and that deploying mobile technologies for check-in/boarding, baggage handling, and flight disruption management could better improve value for passengers, airlines, and airports.
The aim of this short report is to show the usage and benefits of the ebXML architecture and

exchange application, explain (real) interoperability and the reusability of its components. The
implementation of this application can be used to build an ebXML framework (architecture),
demonstrate the functionality, and build reusable blocks that help other customers to create
service oriented applications in the logistic sector.
1. Operating costing is used to calculate the cost of providing services rather than producing goods. It is used by transportation, utility, and hospitality industries like hotels and hospitals.
2. The document provides examples of cost units used in different service industries like per passenger-kilometer for transportation, per kilowatt-hour for electricity, and per room-day for hotels. It also outlines the classification of costs and cost sheet formats.
3. Transportation costing is discussed in detail including operating, ownership, and estimation of changes in costs from projects. Hotel costing is also summarized including cost centers like restaurant and laundry, and key cost elements like provisions, labor, and overheads.
Transportation plays a key role in supply chain management by moving products across distances in a timely manner. As logistics has become increasingly important due to cost and customer service pressures, transportation management focuses on optimizing network freight flows and micro-level routing decisions. Analyzing lane densities and consolidation opportunities can produce efficiencies through vehicle sharing, temporal consolidation, and backhaul utilization. The goal is to improve transportation efficiency through techniques like load consolidation, scheduling optimization, and minimizing empty miles.

advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

INTRODUCTION In the container terminal handling market, quality is
important in attracting and retaining customers. In Europe, container
carriers do have choices
between different container ports that can meet their demand. For the
terminal operator, this results in increasing importance of quality of
services
and the need to know the needs of (potential) customers. A favourable
network position and well-organized processes are no longer sufficient
to
attract container volumes. Meeting customer needs and delivering high
quality (speed, reliability, and so on) for low costs are critical factors.
Currently, adoptions of innovative handling systems to improve
operations
(and thus quality) have not been signalled in the European container
terminal market (Bontekoning 2002). This might be due to the fact that
these
systems are not cheap and their added value is not recognized by
terminal
operators so far.
2. Transport research in the EU (Intermodal Quality 1997; European
Commission 1997; TERMINET 1998) shows the following important
quality
elements concerning transport: time, reliability, flexibility, qualification,
accessibility, control, handling price, frequency, speed, long-term
planning, management, and safety and security. Dedicated quantitative
information on
container terminal handling quality is hard to find in the literature.
Container
terminals are monitoring their quality levels (mainly internal processes),
but
the results are not made public. Therefore, a more general literature
survey
forms the main input for this chapter combined with 14 interviews with
terminal operators.
The aim of this chapter is to offer an approach for measuring container
terminal service quality and to determine critical performance
conditions.
For this purpose, the well-known SERVQUAL model is used. This
model
has been adapted to container terminals and presents an ‘operational’
view
on the judgement of service quality of container terminals by terminal
operators (Parasuraman et al. 1991). The focus is on container terminals,

both
customer- and competitor-oriented (market-oriented) (Narver and Slater
1990; Slater and Narver 1994a and 1994b; Slater and Narver 1995). A
relatively newly distinguished orientation is process-oriented. In this
case, the
service is seen as part of the whole supply chain and there is an
extensive
exchange of information between actors in the supply chain in order to
be
able to perform all services smoothly. This seems a suitable approach for
terminal services, because they form part of an integrated transport
chain.
The terminal service buying process can be divided into three activities:
1.
2.
3. pre-purchase phase (problem definition, information collection and
evaluation of alternatives);
consumption of the terminal service;
post-purchase phase (evaluation of the terminal service). In the pre-
purchase phase, the actors are the terminal operator and the
terminal customer. Usually, the terminal–customer personnel, the

service. The terminal customer and his personnel evaluate the service.
Generally, the customer’s management does not have an obligation to be
present in person.
The service delivered to the terminal customers is quite homogeneous
and
there is no need for participation of the terminal customer’s management
in the service production process. Furthermore, the customer service is
intangible, there is no need for simultaneous production and

office)
who are present when the service is produced at the container terminal.
The
terminal operator also consists of two sub-elements: front office and
back
office. This results in four groups that may have different expectations
and
observations about terminal service quality. This means that both the
terminal customer’s front and back office must judge the quality of the
terminal service. An additional complicating factor is that for the
terminal
operator the inclusion of the total supply chain in the quality delivery is
extremely important, because it is the channel, not the terminal operator,
that actually delivers the products and services to the final customers.

If the focus is placed on terminal customers of both maritime and
continental terminals, four main customer groups can be distinguished:

4. container carriers (deep-sea shipping companies);
transport companies (rail, road, barge and short-sea transport
companies);

11. operators about terminal customers expectations have been used as a
proxy
for the important quality elements for terminal services. The ‘general’
objectives of terminal operators may be stated as cost minimization and
profit maximization, capacity-oriented and realizing political goals (for
example concerning the environment, enhancement of status and role).
The terminal operator should translate the customers’ quality
expectations
into performance statements and define ‘target’ quality levels. The set of
SERVQUAL quality questions served as input for the interviews. It has
not
been possible to interview terminal customers in this chapter. Testing the
SERVQUAL model with terminal customers is thus an important item
for
further research. This would make it possible to compare the terminal
operators’ expectations with terminal customer judgements of service
quality. 6.3 MARITIME CONTAINER TERMINAL SERVICE
QUALITY Maritime Quality Judgement History
In general, container terminal services have no extensive history
concerning
quality measurement. Some research has been carried out on quality
aspects
in the broader field of transport mode comparison and also in the field
of logistics. In that field, it has been shown that, in the past, average
delivery time was the most important customer service element

13. All services are offered (ship, yard and other), but the handling service is
of
prime importance. The container carriers are the main customers and the
central focus is on the quality of service that they receive. Maritime
terminals are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The average transit
time for a
container is between 48 and 96 hours through a maritime terminal.
According to terminal operators, in the service production process, the
reliability of the service is most important for their customers. Compared
with
the results from Perreault and Russ (1976), ‘average delivery time’,
‘time
availability’ and ‘rush service’, have decreased in importance, while
‘reliability’ (for example accuracy, action on complaints) has increased
in
importance. See Table 6.2 for an overview of the terminal interview
results.
Relative Importance of Maritime Handling Quality Conditions
The importance of maritime container terminal quality – according to
terminal operators – has been tested on five quality dimensions. These

container
transit time through the terminal of 48–96 hours. In the 1990s, the
importance of speed and time relatively decreased in favour of reliability
of the
service. According to past transport research, average delivery time was
judged to be of main importance. The interviews have proven that this
has
changed for the container terminal sector in Europe. As transport
services
are, in general, price-inelastic, container handling price reductions will
not
generate a dramatically increased demand for container handling.
However,
the market is very competitive on a port-by-port basis. Quality levels
must
meet high standards set by the container carriers. Costs incurred by
better
quality performance cannot be recovered through higher rates.
Therefore,
the relatively most critical performance condition for their customers –
according to maritime container terminal operators – in terms of quality
is
‘reliability’. It has not been possible to produce a table with the scores of
maritime terminals, concerning the adapted SERVQUAL model,
because
the response on this part of the questionnaire was insufficient.
However, several tools to improve maritime container terminal services
can be developed, based on this research. Current terminal performances
measured by operators are crane performance, container damage,
straddle
17. carrier performance, and that of other transport modes (besides deep-
sea).
