Overview of Plunkett's Transportation, Supply Chain & Logistics Industry coverage | |
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.

- Ocean shipping and ports.
- Rail transportation.
- Logistics services and outsourcing.

- Changes in retail store chains’ logistics and direct-to-store inventory methods.

- Challenges faced by major airports.
