9、rating ArrangementsThe potential for logistical services to favorably impact customers is directly related to operating system design. The many different facets of logistical performance requirements make operational design a complex task, as an operating structure must offer a balance of performanc

10、e, cost, and flexibility. (9) ,it is astonishing that any structural similarity exists. But keep in mind that all logistical arrangements have two common characteristics. First, they are designed to manage inventory. Second, the range of logistics alternatives is limited by available technology. (10

11、) Three widely utilized structures are echelon, direct, and combined.Echelon systems utilize warehouses to create inventory assortments and achieve consolidation economies associated with large-volume transportation shipments. Inventories positioned in warehouses are available for rapid deployment t

12、o meet customer requirements. (11) A break bulk facility typically receives large-volume shipments from a variety of suppliers. Inventory is sorted and stored in anticipation of future customer requirements. Food distribution centers operated by major grocery chains and wholesalers are examples of b

13、reak-bulk warehouses. (12) Consolidation is typically required by manufacturing firms that have plants at different geographical locations. Products manufactured at different plants are consolidated at a central warehouse facility to allow the firm to ship full-line assortments to customers. Major c

14、onsumer product manufacturers are prime examples of enterprises using echeloned systems for full-line consolidation.(13) Direct distribution typically uses the expedited services of premium transport combined with information technology to rapidly process customer orders and achieve delivery perform

20、areas related to supply chain management. Sometimes referred to as just-in-time purchasing, and frequently referred to as just-in-time delivery, the goal of JIT is to time-phase activities so that purchased materials and components arrive at the manufacturing or assembly point just at the time they

21、are required for the transformation process. Ideally, raw material and work- in-process inventories are minimized as a result of reducing or eliminating reserve stocks. The key to JIT operations is that demand for components and materials depends on the finalized production schedule. Requirements ca

22、n be determined by focusing on the finished product being manufactured. Once the production schedule is established, just-in-time arrival of components and materials can be planned to coincide with those requirements, resulting in reduced handling and minimal inventories. The implications of JIT are

23、 numerous. Obviously, it is necessary to deal with suppliers who have high and consistent levels of quality, as their components will go directly in to the finished product. Absolutely reliable logistical performance is required and eliminates, or at least reduces, the need for buffer stocks of mate

24、rials. JIT generally requires more frequent deliveries of smaller quantities of purchased inputs, which may require modification of in bound transportation. Clearly, to make JIT work, there must be very close cooperation and communication between manufacturers purchasing organization and suppliers.

25、In JIT operations, companies attempt to gain the benefits of backward vertical integration but avoid the formal tie of ownership. They achieve many of the same ends through coordination and process integration with suppliers.Originally, JIT was applied to manufacturing processes characterized as MTP

26、, since the effective functioning of the system is dependent upon a finalized production schedule. However, as manufacturing strategies have evolved with more emphasis on flexibility, reduced lot-size production quantities, and quick changeovers, JIT concepts have evolved to accommodate ATO and MTO

27、manufacturing as well and in manufacturing is now referred to as lean, as discussed above. In many situations, lead suppliers are used by manufacturers to sort, segregate, and sequence materials as they flow into assembly operations. The goal is to reduce handling and facilitate continuous JIT.Some

28、organizations, seeing the benefits of JIT systems and recognizing the benefits of supplier integration, have gone so far as to bring their suppliers personnel into their production plants. The supplier personnel are empowered to use the customers purchase orders, have full access to production sched

29、ules, and have responsibility for scheduling arrival of materials.（分数：6.00）(1).By the word “work-in-process“ (line 5, paragraph 1), the author meansA. partly completed productsB. products being assembledC. semi-manufactured productsD. made-up products（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What do JIT operations depen

34、tation. The risks associated with (21) inventory increase as products move down the supply chain closer to the customer because the potential of having the product in the wrong place or form increases and costs have been (22) to distribute the product. In addition to the risk of lost sales due to (2

35、3) because adequate inventory is not available, other risks include obsolescence, pilferage, and damage. Further, the cost of carrying inventory is significantly influenced by the cost of the capital (24) up in the inventory. Geographic specialization, decoupling, supply/demand balancing, and buffer

36、ing uncertainty provide the basic rationale for maintaining inventory. While there is (25) interest in reducing overall supply chain inventory, inventory does add value and can result in lower overall supply chain costs with appropriate trade-offs.From a supply chain logistics perspective, the major

37、 (26) inventory elements are replenishment cycle stock, safety stock, and in-transit stock. The appropriate replenishment cycle stock can be determined using an EOQ formula to reflect the trade-off between storage and ordering cost. Safety stock depends on the mean and variance of demand and the rep

38、lenishment cycle. In transit stock depends on the transport (27)Inventory management uses a combination of reactive and planning logics. Reactive logic is most appropriate for items with low volume, high demand, and high performance cycle uncertainty because it (28) the risk of inventory speculation

39、. Inventory planning logic is appropriate for high-volume items with relatively (29) demand. Inventory planning methods offer the potential for effective inventory management because they take (30) of improved information and economies of scale.（分数：10.00）(1).A. holding B. supporting C. maintaining D

Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory,

43、warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and often security.Logistics as a business concept evolved in the 1950s (33) to the increasing complexity of supplying businesses with materials and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, leading to a call for experts called s

44、upply chain logisticians. Business logistics can be defined as “having the right item in the right quantity at the right (34) at the right place for the right price in the right condition to the right customer“, and is the science of process and incorporates all industry sectors. The goal of logisti

45、cs work is to manage the fruition of project life cycles, supply chains and resultant efficiencies.In business, logistics may have (35) internal focus, or external focus covering the flow and storage of materials (36) point of origin to point of consumption. The (37) functions of a qualified logisti

46、cian include inventory management, purchasing, transportation, ware housing, consultation and the organizing and planning of these activities. Logisticians combine a professional knowledge of each of these functions (38) coordinate resources in an organization. There are two fundamentally different

47、forms of logistics: one optimizes a steady flow of material through a network of transport links and storage nodes; the (39) coordinates a sequence of resources to (40) out some project.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_六、PART SIX(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Logistic
