In this exciting new reference report, we
take a broad look at the business of transportation, including
supply chain management, logistics and procurement. The
Internet and advanced information technology systems have
made radical improvements throughout the supply chain, much
of it linked with the trends towards outsourcing and offshoring.
Many manufacturers and retailers have found that they can
use state of the art supply chain management to reduce inventory
and warehousing costs while speeding up delivery to the
end customer.
Meanwhile, the booming growth in shipments to and from China
is creating both bottlenecks and opportunities. Many major
corporations have invested in significant buying offices
in China, India and elsewhere. But, China’s hot economy
has created a severe shortage of ship bottoms in many categories
as transportation to and from China is booming. The largest
plans for port expansion are in Asia. Two rival ports (in
Shanghai, the main northern port for China, and in Pusan,
South Korea’s largest port) are launching construction
projects to expand each twofold. Both budgets will most
likely exceed $50 billion.
Meanwhile, Boeing and Airbus are battling for market share
with their latest airliners, the A380 and the 787 Dreamliner.
Airports are struggling to modify their facilities to handle
the giant new A380, which can hold up to 800 passengers.
Technologies of many types are creating a revolution in
tracking goods and components from the source to the shipper
to the distribution system to the end user. RFID (radio
frequency ID tags) will further evolve this part of the
business in short order.
This carefully-researched book (which includes a database
of leading companies on CD-ROM) is a complete transportation,
supply chain management and logistics market research and
business intelligence tool-- everything you need to know
about the business of transportation, shipping and distribution,
as well as logistics including:
- RFID (radio frequency ID tags) and the
affect of new technology on businesses of all types.
- Air transportation and air cargo.
- Ocean shipping and ports.
- Rail transportation.
- Logistics services and outsourcing.
- Supply chain management trends, technologies
and software.
- Trucking, including less than truckload
(LTL).
- Courier and overnight delivery, services
and systems, including international expansion by Fedex,
DHL and UPS.
- Globalization, offshoring and outsourcing
and their effects on the transportation industry.
- Changes in retail store chains’
logistics and direct-to-store inventory methods.
- The latest in passenger aircraft design
at Boeing and Airbus.
- Challenges faced by major airports.
- Challenges in security at ports, airports
and railways.
