LOGISTICAL NETWORK ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION
Strategic analysis of logistical networks is designed to reduce costs, increase client
service levels, and maximize profits. To achieve these goals, strategic decision
making must be balanced between procurement, production, inventory
management, and transportation.

Logistical network analysis is fundamentally aimed at determining the number of

production sites, warehouses, and depots. It is also used to develop scenarios for
assigning not only a capacity to each of these sites, but also an optimal geographic
location in view of specific network constraints.
From both a local and global perspective, logistical network analysis is aimed at
determining supply sources, production volumes, and inventory levels for each site
being studied. As this pertains to transportation, logistical network analysis is used
to weigh the merits of various transportation modes. It is also used to develop a
transportation plan with a view to determining the most suitable modes for each
segment of the network.
Logistical network analysis is fundamentally aimed at determining the number of
production sites, warehouses, and depots."

In simple words it means identifying the location of plants, warehouses,

distribution centres etc.

It helps to minimize the logistical cost.

It is very important that data be collected concerning the current network (site
location, node typologies), products (nomenclature, weight and volume),
constraints (client demand, production capacity, delivery lead times, service levels,
etc.), network costs (facilities, storage, production, transportation, etc.), and the
transportation modes utilized.

 RORO (ROLL ON - ROLL OFF)
Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or ro-ro) ships are ferrries designed to carry
wheeled cargo, such as cars, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers, and railroad cars,
that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle,
such as a self-propelled modular transporter. This is in contrast to lift-on/lift-
off (LoLo) vessels, which use a crane to load and unload cargo.
RORO vessels have either built-in or shore-based ramps or ferry slips that allow
the cargo to be efficiently rolled on and off the vessel when in port. While smaller
ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances often have built-in
ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for large oceangoing vessels. The
ramps and doors may be located in stern, bow or sides, or any combination thereof.
Types of RORO vessels include ferries, cruiseferries, cargo ships, barges, and
RoRo service for air deliveries. New automobiles that are transported by ship are
often moved on a large type of RORO called a pure car carrier (PCC) or pure
car/truck carrier (PCTC).
Elsewhere in the shipping industry, cargo is normally measured by the metric
tonne, but RORO cargo is typically measured in lanes in metres (LIMs). This is
calculated by multiplying the cargo length in metres by the number of decks and
by its width in lanes (lane width differs from vessel to vessel, and there are several
industry standards). On PCCs, cargo capacity is often measured in RT or RT43
units (based on a 1966 Toyota Corona, the first mass-produced car to be shipped in
specialised car-carriers and used as the basis of RORO vessel size. 1 RT is
approximately 4m of lane space required to store a 1.5m wide Toyota Corona) or
in car-equivalent units (CEU).
The largest RORO passenger ferry is MS Color Magic, a 75,100 GT cruise
ferry that entered service in September 2007 for Color Line. Built
in Finlandby Aker Finnyards, it is 223.70 m (733 ft 11 in) long and 35 m (114 ft
10 in) wide, and can carry 550 cars, or 1270 lane meters of cargo.
The RORO passenger ferry with the greatest car-carrying capacity
is Ulysses (named after a novel by James Joyce), owned by Irish
Ferries. Ulyssesentered service on 25 March 2001 and operates
between Dublin and Holyhead. The 50,938 GT ship is 209.02 m (685 ft 9 in) long
and 31.84 m (104 ft 6 in) wide, and can carry 1342 cars/4101 lane meters of cargo.
The first cargo ships specially fitted for the transport of large quantities of cars
came into service in the early 1960s. These ships still had their own loading gear
and so-called hanging decks inside. They were, for example, chartered by the
German Volkswagen AG to transport vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. During the
1970s, the market for exporting and importing cars has increased dramatically and
the number and type of ROROs has increased also. In 1970 Japan's K Line built
the "Toyota Maru No. 10", Japan's first pure car carrier, and in 1973 built
the European Highway, the largest pure car carrier (PCC) at that time, which
carried 4,200 automobiles. Today's pure car carriers and their close cousins, the
pure car/truck carrier (PCTC), are distinctive ships with a box-like superstructure
running the entire length and breadth of the hull, fully enclosing the cargo. They
typically have a stern ramp and a side ramp for dual loading of thousands of
vehicles (such as cars, trucks, heavy machineries, tracked units, Mafi roll trailers,
and loose statics), and extensive automatic fire control systems.
The PCTC has liftable decks to increase vertical clearance, as well as heavier
decks for "high-and-heavy" cargo. A 6,500-unit car ship, with 12 decks, can have
three decks which can take cargo up to 150 short tons (136 t; 134 long tons) with
liftable panels to increase clearance from 1.7 to 6.7 m (5 ft 7 in to 22 ft 0 in) on
some decks. Lifting decks to accommodate higher cargo reduces the total capacity.
These kinds of vessels perform a usual speed of 16 knots at eco-speed, while at full
speed can achieve more than 19 knots.
With the building of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics's 8,000-CEU car
carrier Faust out of Stockholm in June 2007 car carriers entered a new era of the
large car and truck carrier (LCTC). Currently, the largest are Höegh Autoliners Six
Horizon class vessels with capacity of 8,500 CEU each.
The car carrier Auriga Leader, belonging to Nippon Yusen Kaisha, built in 2008
with a capacity of 6,200 cars, is the world's first partially solar powered ship.
 LASH (LIGHTER ABROAD SHIP)
The lighter aboard ship (LASH) system refers to the practice of
loading barges (lighters) aboard a bigger vessel for transport. It was developed in
response to a need to transport lighters, a type of (usually but not always)
unpowered barge, between inland waterways separated by open seas. Lighters are
typically towed or pushed around harbors, canals or rivers and cannot be relocated
under their own power. The carrier ships are known variously as LASH
carriers, barge carriers, kangaroo ships or lighter transport ships.[1]
By the 1950s, the needs of cargo transport customers were no longer being met by
the break bulk system of loading individual cargo pieces into a ship's hold. The
dimensions and shapes of cargo pieces varied widely, and the ISO standard cargo
container had only slowly begun to be adopted during the 1960s. Large container
terminals with extensive conveyor systems and storage areas were still only in
planning or in the development stages.
The LASH system was developed as an alternative and supplement to the
developing container system. The lighters, which may be characterized as floating
cargo containers, served dual purposes: transportation over water, and the
establishment of a modular, standardized shape for loading and unloading cargo.
The lighters, also known as swimming normed cargo containers, are loaded onto a
LASH carrier at the port of embarkation and unloaded from the ship at the port of
destination.
The system was developed during the 1960s by the American shipbuilding
engineer Jerome Goldman. Acadia Forest, commissioned in September 1969, was
the first LASH carrier - the ship could take up 75 standardized lighters, with about
376 metric tons of total loading capacity. At the time, it was a novel kind of ship,
the first vessel designed primarily to transport other, smaller ships.
In the late 1980s, the Soviet Union built Sevmorput, a nuclear-powered LASH
carrier. Sevmorput was one of only four nuclear powered cargo vessels ever built,
the largest and the only one in an active commercial service, as it mainly operates
in the Russian domestic waters along the Northern Sea Route, where it's
unencumbered by the ports' unwillingness to accommodate nuclear ships, a
problem that made other nuclear cargo vessels impractical.
At the time of its invention, the system was considered by experts to be a
considerable advancement in shipping technology. LASH carriers were able to
transport five times more cargo than a comparable conventional transport ship, the
loading and unloading process was much more efficient, and a lack of harbor
equipment or quay moorings provided no obstacle, as the lighters could be loaded
directly onto the ship. The system also relieved the pressure to unload as quickly as
possible, since the lighters already in the water could be moved while others were
being unloaded. All told, these ships spent more than 80% of their annual
application time at sea, whereas the conventional ships often lay at harbor for as
much as half the year.
LASH barges are loaded at inland river and shallow ports. Then, the barges are
towed to ocean port's fleeting areas to meet the LASH mother vessel. On arrival,
the mother vessel crane lifts the LASH barges onto the ships. LASH cargo does not
require transshipment, as the movement from the origin to destination takes place
with a single bill of lading.
An important technical problem raised by the invention of the new transport
system was the shape of the lighters. Several other designs, differentiated mainly
by the shape of the lighters and the loading mechanism, were proposed, but the
LASH system found the largest range of applications. In this approach, the lighters
were individually lifted onto the carrier ship by a large crane located at the stern of
the ship. The crane could move the entire length of the ship and stack the lighters
atop each other in the ship's body and on the deck. The cranes had a load-carrying
capacity of more than 500 Mp. Loading or unloading a lighter took on average
fifteen minutes. LASH ships were constructed in Europe, Japan and the USA with
almost uniform parameters.
The host vessel is sometimes purpose-built or modified with a door at the
waterline, to allow the payloads to be loaded and unloaded without special lifting
equipment. An example would be LASH Turkiye, built at Avondale Shipyard for
the American shipping line Prudential Grace, and later transferred to the Ready
Reserve Fleet.
 TRANSPORTATION NETWORK OPTION
A transport network, or transportation network is a realization of a spatial network,
describing a structure which permits either vehicular movement or flow of
some commodity. Examples include but are not limited to road
networks, railways, air routes, pipelines, aqueducts, and power lines.

Transport network analysis is used to determine the flow of vehicles (or people)
through a transport network, typically using mathematical graph theory. It may
combine different modes of transport, for example, walking and car, to model
multi-modal journeys. Transport network analysis falls within the field of transport
engineering. Traffic has been studied extensively using statistical physics methods.
Recently a real transport network of Beijing was studied using network approach
and percolation theory. The research showed that one can characterize the quality
of traffic in a city at each time in the day using percolation threshold.
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK OPTION:
 DIRECT SHIPMENT:
Direct shipment is a method of delivering goods from the supplier or the product
owner to the customer directly. In most cases, the customer orders the goods from
the product owner. This delivery scheme reduces transportation and storage costs,
but requires additional planning and administration.

 DIRECT SHIPMENT WITH MILK RUN:

A milk run is a regular route to pick up mixed loads from several suppliers. A
combined or consolidated delivery from multiple suppliers often is a part of milk
runs. For example, instead of five different suppliers sending a separate truckload
each week to meet the weekly needs of the customer, one truck visits each of the
suppliers daily before delivering to the customer's plant. Direct shipment using a
milk run consolidates multiple vendors' deliveries into one direct shipment to the
customer, enabling the customer to process one full truckload instead of multiple
less-than-full shipments.
  ALL SHIPMENTS VIA CENTRAL DISTRIBUTION CENTRE:

Under this option, suppliers do not send shipments directly to buyer locations. The
buyer divides locations by geographic region and a DC is built for each region.
Suppliers send their shipments to the DC and the DC then forwards appropriate
shipments to each buyer location. A cross dock is a transshipment facility at which
trucks arrive with goods that must be sorted, consolidated with other products, and
loaded onto outbound trucks bound for a retailer. Cross-docking is appropriate for
products with large, predictable demands and requires that DCs be set up such that
economies of scale in transportation are achieved on both the inbound and
outbound sides.

 SHIPPING VIA DISTRIBUTION CENTRE USING MILK RUN:

Milk runs can be used from a DC if lot sizes to be delivered to each buyer location
are small. Milk runs reduce outbound transportation costs by consolidating small
shipments. The use of cross-docking with milk runs requires a significant degree of
coordination and suitable routing and scheduling of milk runs.
 LOGISTICAL MANAGEMENT IN IMPORT AND
EXPORT
Logistics management is a supply chain management component that is used to
meet customer demands through the planning, control and implementation of the
effective movement and storage of related information, goods and services from
origin to destination. Logistics management helps companies reduce expenses and
enhance customer service.

 Logistics management involves numerous elements,

including:
Selecting appropriate vendors with the ability to provide transportation facilities

Choosing the most effective routes for transportation

Discovering the most competent delivery method

Using software and IT resources to proficiently handle related processes.

Logistics management is a supply chain management component that is used to

meet customer demands through the planning, control and implementation of the
effective movement and storage of related information, goods and services from
origin to destination. Logistics management helps companies reduce expenses and
enhance customer service.
The logistics management process begins with raw material accumulation to the
final stage of delivering goods to the destination.
By adhering to customer needs and industry standards, logistics management
facilitates process strategy, planning and implementation.
In logistics management, unwise decisions create multiple issues. For example,
deliveries that fail or are delayed lead to buyer dissatisfaction. Damage of goods
due to careless transportation is another potential issue. Poor logistics planning
gradually increases expenses, and issues may arise from the implementation of
ineffective logistics software.
IMPORTANCE OF LOGISTICAL MANAGEMENT
IN IMPORT AND EXPORT
The most valuable and irreplaceable commodity in your life is your time. This
means there is no practical or logical reason why you should waste it trying to
figure out the safest, most efficient, and affordable way to ship your products,
whether it be across state lines or oceans. Your time should be spent doing what
you do best – providing exceptional service and products to your customers.

The importance of logistics in the import and export business is irrefutable and can
arguably be one of the most important aspects to the success of your company.
Often times the best way to ensure efficient, accurate, and robust supply of your
products on time and in the same condition as they left either domestically or
internationally, is to hire a third-party logistics company. Hiring a 3PL provider
will not only give you back some of your sacred time, but it also gives you
assurance that you will have the resources to promise consistent deliveries to your
customer and real-time oversight of the entire process.

From designing customized freight spend management services, supply chain

consulting, and providing both domestic and international transportation options,
established third-party logistics companies can seamlessly manage all of your
logistics needs. This can also include value-added services such as warehousing,
fulfillment, and distribution. Experienced providers have also invested the capital
to streamline their entire process, which would be cost prohibitive and require an
immense level of expertise to try to replicate within your own company.

Working collaboratively with airline, ship, rail, and trucking companies, a 3PL can
work with their network to determine the most efficient, safe, and cost-effective
way to get your product to the desired destination. Whether it needs to be
transported via land, sea, or air, the right service provider can professionally
handle, coordinate, and manage the port-to-port and door-to-door pick-up,
tracking, delivery, and storage of your goods.

To be a top logistics company in the market today, companies must consistently

demonstrate certain strengths. This includes: exceptional communication and
organizational skills, an ability to foresee (and eliminate) potentially-problematic
areas of concern, investment in the right technology, and a zero tolerance for
mistakes with a “no-excuses” mindset.

While it is impossible to micro-manage every aspect of every individual (and their

companies) involved in the shipment of your products, it is possible to demand
nothing less than professional service every step of the way. Successful logistics
companies establish and maintain open and ongoing communication with their
clients, their providers, and the buyers’ representatives receiving the deliveries.
This should give you peace-of-mind and ensure that you don’t have to waste
energy worrying about where a shipment is, if it’s safe, and that it will be delivered
on time.

Your product is important to you and getting it to its destination – on time, within
budget, and undamaged – is critical. Focus on manufacturing and creating top-
notch products and the best service possible for your customers. Let an established,
quality-oriented logistics company handle the rest.

 BASIC STEPS TO IMPORT
Import trade refers to the purchase of goods from a foreign country. The procedure
for import trade differs from country to country depending upon the import policy,
statutory requirements and customs policies of different countries. In almost all
countries of the world import trade is controlled by the government. The objectives
of these controls are proper use of foreign exchange restrictions, protection of
indigenous industries etc. The imports of goods have to follow a procedure.

1. Decide the country

Different countries have different export/import regulations. While the material

itself might be cheap to buy from a certain country, there might be other factors
which might add up to the cost. Requirements for importing specific commodities
depend on a wide variety of criteria. Some information, such as whether an item is
subject to quota restrictions, eligible for reduced rates of duty, or restricted from
entry because they originate in an embargoed country, can be determined only if
you know the item’s Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification number.

2. Search for suppliers

If you are new importer, there are government agencies that are ready to answer
your questions. The International Trade Administration and US Business
Administration are few of the many organizations that are there to help you. Use
online sources, consult trade and professional associations, and join domestic and
international trade shows. Once you have made the contact with an overseas
supplier, it is always good idea to go meet the supplier in their country.

3. Search the duty and taxes

Import duty can be calculated in a variety of ways, but most import duties are
figured as a percentage of the declared value of the commodity. Import duty differs
from product to product and is dependent on the commodity being imported, its
declared value, its country of origin, and other factors like anti-dumping legislation
and quota controls. Import duty values can be as low as zero or as high as 100%
(or more) of the product’s declared value. Import duties are collected to generate
revenue and to protect local markets.

4. Find a reliable freight forwarder and customs broker

You already have too much to worry about. Do not add shipping procedure and
documentation to the list. Always work with a reliable freight forwarder or NVO
that will provide you with daily updates from the moment you place the order with
your shipper. This will give you time to concentrate more on your business.

5. Ship the goods on time

Do not ship your goods last minute. This might cost you more than you need to
pay. However, by shipping early you may end up paying inventory costs. Always
consider that delays might happen during the process, such as goods might not be
produced on time, the vessel might not sail as scheduled, goods might be held by
the customs both in origin country and here USA. Be prepared for all this and plan
accordingly.

The last step in the import trade procedure is closing the transaction. If the goods
are to the satisfaction of the importer, the transaction is closed. But if he is not
satisfied with the quality of goods or if there is any shortage, he will write to the
exporter and settle the matter. In case the goods have been damaged in transit, he
will claim compensation from the insurance company. The insurance company will
pay him the compensation under an advice to the exporter.

 CASE STUDY
AMAZON LOGISTICS
• The Amazon Logistics infrastructure can either help or hurt third-party
sellers, drastically improving their ability to serve customers and deliver
goods or significantly hurting their feedback scores and subsequently their
online reputation.

• The result varies by seller, and it really comes down to how each seller
utilizes the Amazon Logistics program, as well as how proactive they are in
their approach.

• Amazon Logistics is a shipping and delivery service meant to complement

existing providers like UPS, USPS and FedEx.

• It offers 7-day and same-day delivery options, and it utilizes a host of third-
party logistics partners across the country to make it happen – including
walkers, bicyclists and motorcyclists in some areas.

• They are separate logistics providers contracted to pick up deliveries at

Amazon warehouses and sorting centers for distribution. They use Amazon
tech to guide their deliveries, but they enjoy flexible schedules and pick up
shipments at-will.
PROS AND CONS OF AMAZON LOGISTICS FOR THIRD-PARTY
SELLERS:
• CON: For one, late or mishandled deliveries can impact a seller’s feedback
score. Not only does this score play a role in whether customers decide to
buy from that seller or not, but it can also influence the merchant’s ability to
win the buy box – a crucial placement when multiple sellers offer the same
product.

• CON: Sellers also have no control of Amazon Logistics. They can’t pick
and choose which providers they want to use – even if they’ve been burned
by one before.

• PRO: Still, there are advantages to Amazon Logistics. It allows you to take
advantage of Amazon’s cutting-edge programs like Lockers, Fresh, Flex and
Prime Air, and it gives you the chance to offer expedited, same-day and even
two-hour shipping in certain geographic areas.

• PRO: Amazon Logistics can also offer an advantage in times of high

shipping volume when services like USPS are backed up and bogged down.
