(30 points)Passage OneOne of the advantages of using 3PL results from economies of scale (merits from large truck fleets, warehouses, etc.) and economies of scope, which encourage companies to increase net value by reducing costs. The effects of these economies are obtained depending on the type of 3PL provider (e.g. IT-equipped, marketing-based, non-asset-based (and then flexible), etc.) Competent 3PL providers possess high coordination ability, enabling them to search for reliable partners or sub-contractors, and to manage efficiently the inter-firm flow of goods. Such ability can be developed through experiences as a 3PL.Likewise, by outsourcing logistics activities, companies can save on capital investments, and thus reduce financial risks. Investment in logistics assets, such as physical distribution centers or information networks, usually needs large and lump sum costs, which involves financial risks. Furthermore, the 3PL providers can spread the risks by outsourcing to sub-contractors.Although there are several advantages of using 3PL, some drawbacks also exist. It is not easy to establish a reliable and cost-effective partnership between the firm and the 3PL provider. In order to establish reliable partnership, efforts should be made in two stages: 3PL provider selection and contract signing. Firstly, in the stage of selecting a new 3PL partner, it is important to select the 3PL provider who has the ability to provide better services. If the firms cannot select reliable 3PL providers, they may suffer from economic losses. It is not easy for firms to judge the ability of the 3PL provider during the selection stage owing to the issue of information asymmetry (不对称) between the firm (principal) and the 3PL provider (agent). To solve this problem, complex selection procedures are necessary to identify their ability. However, the complex selectionprocedures may involve additional transaction costs. Secondly, it is important to establish a system to maintain their reliable partnership once the 3PL partner is selected. Information sharing and apparent risk sharing between the parties is always required. Concerning information sharing, it is needless to say that smoother information exchange will result in a more efficient logistics activity.( ) 56.What does the underlined phrase(line 3, para 2)mean?A. Total sumB. Large sumC. Small sumD. Separated sum( ) 57. Which one of the following is not true?A. Complex selection procedures are necessary to identi fy the clients’ ability and theymay involve additional costs.B. By outsourcing logistics activities, TPL providers can save on capital investments,and thus reduce their financial risks.C. 3PL providers can spread the risks by outsourcing to sub-contractors.D. Information sharing and apparent risk sharing between the parties is always requiredand smoother information exchange will result in a more efficiency.( ) 58. Which one of the following is not true about coordination ability?A. It can be developed through experiencesB. Enable 3PL companies to search for reliable partners or sub-contractorsC. Manage efficiently the inter-firm flow of goodsD. Companies can save on capital investments( ) 59. Complex selection procedures are necessary to identify their ability, because .A. There is information asymmetryB. It is not easy for firms to judge the ability of the 3PL providerC. Otherwise firms may suffer from economic lossesD. The 3PL provider who has the ability to provide better services( ) 60. What is not needed to maintain their reliable partnership?A. Information sharingB. Profit sharing mechanismC. Apparent risk sharingD. Smoother information exchangePassage TwoThe first task of site selection is to identify both the general and then the specific warehouse location. The general area concerns the broad geography where an active warehouse makes sense from a service, economic, and strategic perspective. The general question focuses on the broader geographic area as illustrated by the need to place a warehouse in the Midwest, which generally implies having a facility in Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin. In contrast, a retailer such as Target or Home Depot typically selects a warehouse location that is central to a prerequisite number of retail store locations. Thus, the selection and number of retail outlets drive the support warehouse location.Once the general warehouse location is determined, a specific building site must be identified. Typical areas in a community for locating warehouses are commercial developments and outlying or suburban areas. The factors driving site selection are service availability and cost. Land cost is the most important factor. A warehouse need not be located in a major industrial area. In many cities, warehouses are among industrial plants and in areas zoned for light or heavy industry. Most warehouses can operate legally under the restrictions placed upon general commercial property.Beyond procurement cost, setup, and operating expenses such as transport access, utility hookups, taxes, and insurance rates require evaluation. The cost of essential services may vary extensively between sites. For example, a food-distribution firm recently rejected what otherwise appeared to be a totally satisfactory warehouse site because of projected insurance rates. The site was located near the end of a water main. During most of the day, adequate water pressure was available to handle operational and emergency requirements. However, a water problem was possible during two short periods each day. For 6:30 A.M. to 8:30 A.M. and from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. the overall demand for water along the line was so great that a sufficient pressure was not available to handle emergencies. Because of this deficiency, abnormally high insurance rates were required and the site was rejected.Several other requirements must be satisfied before a site is purchased. The site must offer adequate room for expansion. Necessary utilities must be available. The soil must be capable ofsupporting the structure. The site must be sufficiently high to afford proper water drainage. Additional requirements may be situationally necessary, depending upon the structure to be constructed. For these reasons and others, the final selection of the site should be preceded by extensive analysis.( ) 61. What is the core factor for a retailer such as Target or Home Depot when typically selecting a warehouse location to consider? ______A. the broad geography of a warehouseB. both the general and then the specific warehouse locationC. the service, economic, and strategic perspectiveD. the number of retail outlets locations( ) 62.. Which of the followings is not an ideal building site selection for a warehouse?A. a major industrial area with great expansion where numerous industrial plants arelocatedB. commercial developmentsC. commercial centersD. zones from light and heavy industries( ) 63. The “commercial developments” in Para. 2 are usually located in ______ areas.A. remote countrysideB. downtownC. industrialD. outlying or suburban( ) 64. To evaluate factors of site selection, the most crucial element taken into consideration is _______.A. transport accessB. taxes and insurance ratesC. land costD. utility hookups( ) 65. The main reason that accounts for the rejection of a seemingly satisfactory warehouse site is _______.A. a water problem was possible during two short periods each dayB. the abnormally high insurance rates were requiredC. the site was located near the end of a water mainD. the overall demand for water along the line during two short periods may bring aboutemergenciesPassage threeThere are three types of stock that a business can hold:1.Stocks of raw materials (inputs brought from suppliers waiting to be used in theproduction process)2.Work in progress (incomplete products still in the process of being made)3.Stocks of finished products (finished goods of acceptable quality waiting to be soldto customers)The aim of stock control is to minimize the cost of holding these stocks whilst ensuring that there are enough materials for production to continue and be able to meet customer demand. Obtaining the correct balance is not easy and the stock control department will work closely with the purchasing and marketing departments.The marketing department should be able to provide sales forecasts for the coming weeks or months (this can be difficult if demand is seasonal or prone to unexpected fluctuation) and so allow stock control managers to judge the type, quantity and timing of stocks needed.It is the purchasing department’s responsibility to order the correct quantity and quality of these inputs, at a competitive price and from a reliable supplier who will deliver on time.As it is difficult to ensure that a business has exactly the correct amount of stock at any one time, the majority of firms will hold buffer stock. This is the “safe” amount of stock that needs to be held to cover unforeseen rises in demand or problems of reordering supplies.Good stock management by a firm will lower costs, improve efficiency and ensure production can meet fluctuations in customer demand. It will give the firm a competitive advantage as more efficient production can feed through to lower prices and also customers should always be satisfied as products will be available on demand.However, poor stock control can lead to problems associated with overstocking or stock-outs.If a business holds too much buffer stock (stock held in reserve) or overestimates the level of demand for its products, then it will overstock. Overstocking increase costs for businesses asholding stocks are an expense for firms for several reasons.1.Increases warehouse space needed2.Higher insurance costs needed3.Higher security costs needed to prevent theft4.Stocks may be damaged, become obsolete or perish (go out of date)5.Money spent buying the stocks could have been better spent elsewhereThe opposite of an overstock is a stock-out. This occurs when a businesses runs out of stocks. This can have severe consequences for the business:1.Loss of production (with workers still having to be paid but no products beingproduced)2.Potential loss of sales or missed orders. This can harm the reputation of thebusiness.In these circumstances a business may choose to increase the amount of stock they hold in reserve (buffer stock). There are advantages and disadvantages of increasing the stock level.( ) 66. The aim of stock control is _______.A. to minimize the cost of holding stocks and ensure productionB. to order the correct quantity and quality of stocksC. to provide sales forecasts for the coming weeks or monthsD. to judge the type, quantity and timing of stocks needed( ) 67. The word “buffer” in Line 19 probably means ________.A. protectionB. quantityC. reserveD. insurance( ) 68. The costs of overstocking include the following EXCEPT ___________.A. Increases warehouse space and higher insurance costs needed.B. Potential loss of sales or missed orders.C. Higher security costs needed to prevent theft.D. Stocks may be damaged, become obsolete or perish.( ) 69. Which of the following is one of the advantages of increasing the stock level?A. Costs of storage, rent and insuranceB. Less chance of loss of production time because of stock-outsC. Money tied up in stocks not being used elsewhere in the businessD. Large stocks subject to deterioration and theft( ) 70. Which of the following is not discussed in the passage?A. The types of stocks.B. The purpose of stock control.C. The importance of stock controlD. The methods of stock controlVI.

(30 points)Passage oneSupply chain management is managing the flow of materials across the supply chain, i. e, form preparing the raw materials to supplying the end product to the consumer ,as well as therelated counter flow of information, regarding controlling and recording of materials movement. Supply chain management refers to the managing of materials and products from source to the final users. Some of the activities in this system include: Sourcing;Purchasing;Manufacturing and its related activities of planning and scheduling;Distribution planning and management of warehouses;Inventory management;Inbound and outbound transaction;Linking all these with the customer services and marketing activities.These activities are the same as those of logistics and they illustrate the close relationship between logistics and supply chain management. Most organizations are simultaneously membersof a number of supply chains. An organization in a chain purchases materials and services from a number of suppliers, converts them into a range of products that they sell to other organizations. Successful companies use their logistics competence to optimize their operations in managing the materials flow through their companies. But it will no longer be necessary or desirable for eachsupply chain member organization to only manage its logistics activities on an independent basis.However it is most unlikely for any one company that all the supply chains in the diagramwill require formalized supply chain m anagement processes It is a requirement for that organization to focus its supply chain efforts on those networks that are critical to the successof the company.Internal Supply ChainsThese are portions of the overall supply chains that exist within an individual organization, and they can be quite complex due to organizations which have international and multi-functional businesses. .Your study of logistics has covered these aspects in great detail. External Supply ChainsExternal supply chains are the processes where internal supply chains can be extended to the total network that an organization finds itself in .The parts of the network to be focused upon byan individual company as mentioned above need to be carefully selected to maximize thebenefit that working with them will achieve.Benefits of Supply Chain CooperationAll parties working together in a formal supply chain receive a number of benefits from joint working, these are:Establishing valuable contacts across the supply chain;Gaining insights into how other organizations conduct their business, enabling them to improvetheir own;Identifying opportunities for joint research to improve the outputs of the supply chain.However supply chains do not just happen. It requires a great deal of management effortand cooperation to achieve a successful supply chain. A number of principles need to be followedin order to achieve success and we will be discussing them in more detail in the notes .These seven principles are listed below:Supply chain management begins with the end consumer;Managers must cooperate to manage the total logistics chain;Interface management must be controlled through a single channel;Sales and operations planning must be integrated;Manufacturing and sourcing must be optimized to achieve flexibility and efficiency;Supply chain partners must focus in relationship management;Performance measures must be customer driven.( A) 56. Which of the following is the starting point and ending point of a supply chain?A. Preparing the raw materials to supplying the end product to the consumer.B. Preparing the raw materials.C. Supplying the end product to the consumer.D. Manufacturing the raw materials.57.Which of the following is not included in supply chain management?A.sourcing DB.purchasingC.inventory managementD.looking for market58.Is it necessary for each supply chain member organization to only manage its Blogistics activities on an independent basis?A. absolutely necessaryB.no longer necessaryC. without doubtD. without proof59.What is the difference between internal supply chain and external supply chain?AA.External supply chains are the processes where internal supply chains canbe extended to the total network that an organization finds itself in.B.External supply chains are the inbound transaction.C.Internal supply chains are the outbound transaction.D.Distribution planning60.Which of the following supply chain regulation is wrong?BA.Interface management must be controlled through a single channel.B. Supply chain management begins with the first consumer.C. Sales and operations planning must be integrated.D. Performance measures must be customer driven.Passage TwoLogistics information systems (LIS) are the threads that link logistics activities into integrated process .The integration builds on four levels of functionality: transaction, management control, decision analysis, and strategic planning systems.The most basis level, the transaction system, initiates and records individual logistics activities. Transaction activities include order entry, inventory assignment, order selection, shipping, pricing, invoicing, and customer inquiry. For example, customer order receipt initiates a transaction as the order is entered into the information system. The order entry transaction initiates a second transaction as inventory is assigned to the order .A thirdtransaction is when generated to direct the materials handlings to select the order .A fourth transaction directs the movement, loading, and delivery of the order .The final transactionprints or transmits the invoice for payment. Throughout the process, order status information must be available when customers desire such information.The second level, management control, focuses on performance measurement and reporting. Performance measurement is necessary to provide management feedback regarding service level and resource utilization. Thus, management control is characterizedby an evaluative, tactical, intermediate –term focus that evaluates past performance and identifies alternatives. Common performance measures include financial, customer service, productivity, and quality indicators. As an example, specific performance measures includetransportation and warehousing cost per pound (cost measure),inventory turnover (asset measure),case fill rate (customer service measure ),cases per labor hour (productivitymeasure ),and customer perception (quality measure ). Another part defines thesemeasures in detail and illustrates additional ones.The third level, decision analysis, focuses on decision applications to assist managersin identifying, evaluating, and comparing logistics strategic and tactical alternatives. Typical analyses include vehicle routing and scheduling, inventory management, facility location, and cost –benefit analysis of operational tradeoffs and arrangements.Decision analysis LIS must include database maintenance, modeling and analysis, and reporting components for a wide range of potential alternatives. Similar to the management control level, decision analysis is characterized by a tactical, evaluative focus .Unlike management control, decision analysis focuses on evaluating future tactical alternative, and it needs to be relatively unstructured and flexible to allow consideration of a widerange of options.The final level, strategic planning, focuses on information support to develop and refine logistics strategy. These decisions are often extensions of the decision analysis levelbut are typically more abstract, less structured, and long-term in focus .Examples of strategic planning decision include synergies made possible through strategic alliances, development and refinement of firm capabilities and market opportunities, as well as customer responsiveness to improved service .The LIS strategic planning level mustincorporate lower-level data collection into a wide range of business planning and decision-making models that assist in evaluating the probabilities and payoffs of various strategies .In the past, most expenditure focused on improving transaction system efficiency, while these investments offered returns in terms of speed and somewhat lower o perating costs. Expected benefits in terms of cost reductions have not always been materialized. However, recent LIS applications focus on management control, decision analysis, and strategic planning components.Newer LIS applications are also being developed in conjunction with reengineered processes instead of simply automating logistics flow. Enterprises are reengineering theirlogistics procedures to reduce the number of cycles and sequential activities..( D) 61. On what levels of functionality should the integration of information be built?A. Transaction and management controlB. Decision analysisC. Strategic planning systemsD. All the above is correct.(D) 62. The integration builds on four levels of functionality. Which of the following isnot among the four levels of functionality?A transactionB management controlC decision analysisD market presence( A ) 63. What is the function of performance measurement?A. To provide management feedback regarding service level and resourceutilization.B. To move on to the next step.C. To make decisions about the future.D. To compete with others.( A ) 64. What is the difference between management control and decision analysis?A. Decision analysis focuses on evaluating future tactical alternative, and it needs to be relatively unstructured and flexible to allowconsideration of aB. Decision analysis is more abstract.C. Decision analysis is less structured.D. Decision analysis is long term in focus.( C ) 65. Which of the following is not the characteristics of strategic planning?A .more abstractB .less structuredC. short-term focusedD. extensions of the decision analysis levelPassage ThreeThe direct supply chain strategy is characterized as those supply chains where the most effective and efficient relationship is implemented through routine third-party logistics services. First, the full speculation strategy with a decentralized distribution system in this strategy group is characterized as those supply chains where distribution of products is decentralized and based for example on retail stores. Second, in the full postponement strategy, manufacturing and logistics operations are implemented after the customer order. This means that production is finalized in manufacturing sites, and after that products are distributed to retail stores. Thirdly, in the manufacturing postponement strategy, final production is executed in retail stores (for example the final color of paint is mixed in retail stores). In all three cases, routine TPL services add most value. The transportation method depends on the type of product, i.e. whether it is functional or innovative. Functional products are defined as those that satisfy basic needs, are sold in retail stores and have stable predictable demand, with long lifecycles and often low profit margins. Incontrast, innovative products enable higher margins, but demand is unpredictable and their lifecycle is short. The supply chain of functional products focuses on minimization of physicalsupply chain costs. On the other hand the supply chain of innovative products requires responsiveness to ensure that products reaching the markets match users ’needs; the suppliers, therefore, are chosen for their speed and flexibility. Regarding the use of routine logistics services, the type of product affects the mode of transportation. In the case of functional products, the chosen mode is based on cost minimization, i.e. low cost transportation modes (e.g. rail, sea,truck). On the other hand, more expensive transportation modes (e.g. air, overnight deliveries) match better with innovative products aiming at supply chain flexibility and speed.66.What is the characteristic of direct supply chain strategy?DA.A decentralized distribution system.B.A full postponement strategy.C.Final execution in retail stores.D.All of the above.67.Which one is not true about the functional products?CA. To satisfy basic needs and be sold in retail stores, having stable predictable demand, withlong life cycles.B.To focus on minimizing the supply chain costs.C. To ensure that products reaching the markets match users ’ needs.D. To choose transportation mode is based on cost minimization.68. Which adds most value?DA. The full speculation strategyB. The full postponement strategyC. The manufacturing postponement strategyD. Routine TPL service69. Which one is not true about the innovative products?DA. Enable higher marginsB. Demand is unpredictableC. Lifecycle is shortD. Less flexibility70. Rail transportation belongs to A .A. Low cost transportation modeB. More expensive transportation modeC. Innovative productD. Functional productsVI.

First of all, globalization and import in-exporting activities make most products necessary to be transferred from one country to another. Secondly, information revolution has propelled the manufacturing process and consumer behaviors to be changed drastically. Traditional transportation methods need to be upgraded to accommodate modern transportation demand, therefore, containerization and usage of information sharing system emerge.4.Storage is needed to manage the materials and store ready-for-market products in warehouses. There is new technology applied in the storage, for example, automatic ware house. Old-fashioned warehouse has become the distribution center where con tai ner trucks del i ver and pick up the goods.rmation system links al 1 logistics processes and integrates all information to cnsure al 1 the handl ing of 1 arge quanti ty of goods are delivered in an eff icicnt, cost-effective and accurate manner.
