1. Read the next text. Then, answer the comprehension questions.
Note: Make use, at least, one collocation per answer.
Taken from: http://www.vkok.eeLOGISTICSLogistics can be defined as the management of the flow of goods, information and other resou
engineering. The re-engineering process considers the following factors: the nature of the product,
the optimal or preferred location of source or manufacture, freight and transport costs and the
destination market, seasonal trends, import and export regulations, customs duties and taxes,
etc. A professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician. The
main functions of a qualified logistician include, among other things, inventory
management, purchasing, transportation, warehousing, consultation and organizing and
planning of these activities. Logisticians are responsible for the life cycle and supply chain
operations of a variety of products. They are also responsible for customs documentation.
They regularly work with other departments to ensure that the customers’ needs
and requirements are met.
2. In the previous text, there are 29 underlined words; take them out in a list
and classify them according to their syllable stress using the next chart. Add as many rows
as necessary.
3. Read the next text. Then, prepare a presentation in PowePoint (.ppt) outlining the
main ideas. Check the learning material to develop this presentation. Finally,
record yourself on a video (.mp4) making the
presentation.
Taken from: www.ddilogistics.comImprove Logistics EfficiencyWhen it comes to business logistics, continuous improvement is necessary t
adequate and well-trained warehouse staff, strategic sequencing (to only move products the
minimum required number of times), and use of vertical storage to fully utilize available space. Carefully
scrutinizing ordering patterns to ensure quick delivery of products, as well as effective space utilization,
is also important.
Optimize transportation. The rising cost of transportation accounts for increased prices in virtually every
industry. To reduce transportation costs, companies should examine every factor that might increase or
decrease expenses.
1. This starts with the design of products and packaging for optimal size and weight.
2. Proper load and delivery route planning ensures trucks are always carrying full loads.
3. Finally, identify and utilize the most cost-effective packaging and shipping methods for
products.
Automate communication technologies. Logistics management software communicates between the
warehouse and accounting departments and allows for the delivery of timely updates to the
customer. This significantly streamlines the entire process, from storage through shipment, and requires
minimal staffing.
Encourage feedback. The success of a company depends on input from all of its employees or
teams, regardless of their role in the logistics process. Carefully consider feedback and suggestions
from staff concerning practices that could further improve logistics efficiency.
While logistics management is a complex process, utilizing the above strategies can help you make
the most of all warehousing, staffing, transportation, and communication resources. The
improvement of logistics planning will inevitably lead to higher productivity, happier
customers, and a more profitable company. (Diversified Distribution
Services Inc. 2016)
