Read the following passages and answer the questions .( 30 points )

Passage 1

When changes occur indirectly within your commpany without your knowledge,and it negatively impacts

your Key Result Areas(KRAs),that’s not only frustrating but it’s a warming sign that your transportation

team has been passive in terms of its internal leadership.

Here are some examples:

1.The carriers are reporting that the warehouse leaders have decided to reduce a shift to control cost and require your carriers to make appointments.If the drivers are late they must go to the back of the line.Your cost effective carries now don’t want to go back to those plants.

2.An initiative to significantly reduce inbound transportation has hit a snag at a plant.The plant has decided not to proceed with your project because they don’t have a budget for the pump and the electricity needed to operate a special unit that you negotiated for.So, your planned transportation annual savings initiative of ＄500,000 was scrapped （废弃）because the plant wouldn’t budget for ＄15,000/year in additional energy.

3.Other plant initiatives to reduce inbound freight are on hold because one plant wanted tu split the savings but their accountant said“NO.”The second plant insists that only their local carrier knows how the plant works and any other carrier(espcially a lower cost carrier)will cripple their operation.Company cost saving are lost.

4.The marketing team has announced a new package desige.Unfortunately the new design takes up more weight and cube than the last one.In turn ,the damage claims have increased and the transportation cost per pound has increased by 5 percent.This negated the saving that you had committed.

So,how could some of these situations be avoided or at least mitigated?It has become my belief overtime,and reinforced since I retired,that the transportation leader must be the most active member of the supply chain and almost to the point of acting as its de facto(事实上的)leader.

The examples cited above could have been avoided if there was a “greater good ”policy rule inplace.My counser is that transportationg leaders must write this policy/rule with guidelines,protocols,and with sufficient illustrations to demonstrate how everyone in the company wins.

B.accountants

C.carriers

D.transport leaders

C.A logisties consulting firm

D.A pubblishing house
