LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

Doç. Dr. Bülent SEZEN

What is Logistics?
Logistics is the . . . ³process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.³
Council of Logistics Management

Is it different from SCM?
Not really! ³Supply Chain Management deals with the management of materials, information, and financial flows in a network consisting of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers.´ (Stanford Supply Chain Forum) So, Logistics and Supply Chain are equivalent terms.

Bonded Warehouse (In Turkish: ³Antrepo´) ³Antrepo´
Bonded warehouse is a warehouse in which goods are stored without customs duties being paid until they are removed from the warehouse. Such warehouses are used for the storage of import merchandise, subject to duty, until the duties are paid or the goods reshipped without entry.

Bonded Warehouse« Warehouse«
In accordance with the limitations and authorities defined by laws of customs, bonded warehouse stores merchandise, not subject to free circulation, under internationally acclaimed standards prior to nationalization. Operations in the warehouse may include assembly, manipulation or storage but usually not manufacturing.

Cross Docking
a logistics activity that attempts to reduce costs and total lead time. breaks down received items on the loading dock and immediately matches them with outgoing shipment requirements, instead of stocking the items in warehouse locations and returning to pick for orders at a later time.

Cross Docking« Docking«
eliminates the need to place inventory in storage. This can mean moving pallets across the docking areas (hence the name) for loading onto delivery vehicles.

Cross Docking« Docking«
Crossdocking essentially eliminates the inventory-holding function of a warehouse while still allowing it to serve its consolidation and shipping functions. The idea is to transfer incoming shipments directly to outgoing trailers without storing them in between.

Cross Docking« Docking«
In a traditional warehouse, goods are received from vendors and stored in devices like pallet racks or shelving. When a customer (e.g., the consumer or perhaps a retail outlet) requests an item, workers pick it from the shelves and send it to the destination.

Cross Docking« Docking«
In a crossdock, goods arriving from the vendor already have a customer assigned, so workers need only move the shipment from the inbound trailer to an outbound trailer bound for the appropriate destination. The already part should make you think of information system requirements--a chief obstacle to implementing crossdocking successfully.

Cross Docking«(classification)
One way to classify crossdocking operations is according to when the customer is assigned to an individual pallet or product. In pre-distribution crossdocking, the customer is assigned before the shipment leaves the vendor, so it arrives to the crossdock bagged and tagged for transfer. In post-distribution crossdocking, the crossdock itself allocates material to its stores.

Cross Docking«(classification)
Pre-distribution is definitely more difficult to implement because the vendors of the crossdock must know which customers of the crossdock need what before they send the shipment. This involves quite a bit of information transfer, system integration, and coordination. For a distributor with hundreds of vendors, the problem is big, big, big!

Logistics Experience will be different from one sector to another
Textiles
± speed and variety due to seasonality concerns

Retailing (FMCG)
± prevents stores from having empty shelves or shelves with overstocks ± Frozen storage and transportation

Health
± hygienic, have limited shelf life, require special storage conditions and entertain high inventory risks

Automotive
± just in time (JIT), delivering parts from thousands of kilometers, special packaging

Fuel and Petroleum Transportation
± very special tanker security systems

Fuel and Petroleum Transportation


Fuel tankers have bodies, including the chassis, made of aluminum alloy and are the lightest tankers in weight and highest in volume (20.000 to 38.000 liters). The tanks have a bottom loading and unloading system and all the necessary security equipments for overloading.



Fuel and Petroleum Transportation« Transportation«


The tanks have capacities between 20.000 and 38.000 liters, 4 to 7 compartments and 3.200 to 7.000 liters of compartment capacities. Along with these tankers there are three-level security systems, bottom loading equipments, anti-rolling system, a security system locking the brakes when the API drum is opened and the valves when it is closed, emergency buttons at three sides and an EBS brake system.



Fuel and Petroleum Transportation« Transportation«
There are also:
Emergency power switch, Emergency valve locking switch, 6 rear-view mirrors

Fuel and Petroleum Transportation« Transportation«
The drivers clothes have long sleeves and long trousers. The fabric is 100% cotton to avoid static electricity. In addition, all drivers wear anti-static shoes. The drivers¶ equipments also include gloves resistant to the material they carry, a helmet compliant to EN norms and glasses against the material vapor.

Case Studies with EKOL: Intra Medikal
Intra Medikal used to perform inventory, warehouse and distribution management internally before Ekol partnership. After a comprehensive project, logistics processes are outsourced to Ekol. The first value obtained by this project was eliminating the short distance transportation costs of bonded goods from customs area to warehouse.

Case Studies with EKOL: Intra Medikal« Medikal«
The inventory records database enables a systematical display of shelf lives and other product specific information. Before export and internal distribution, products are barcode labeled according to the accepting criteria of customers and hospitals. Customers in Istanbul receive daily deliveries, while customers out of Istanbul receive cargo shipments.

Case Studies with EKOL: Çar (Boyner)
Cars , one of Turkey's leading retailer chain stores, has become a pioneer in the field of logistics outsourcing. On its quest for a logistics partner, Cars looked out for many candidates and finally preferred Ekol. By consolidating Cars store supply strategies according to the product groups as "cross-dock", "flow thru" and "replenishment" strategies, EKOL achieved inventory minimization and delivery efficiency.

Case Studies with EKOL: Çar (Boyner)«
Interfaces have been built between EKOL and Cars softwares which have different infrastructures running independently and a data processing structure has been established enabling both parties to monitor all processes, create work orders and report the results simultaneously. Thanks to this system, any data Cars keys in to the software can be utilized for generating work orders to EKOL.

Case Studies with EKOL: Braun
Operating within Gillette group, Braun is the world's largest electric shaving machines, small kitchen appliances and blood pressure and fever measurement devices provider. Braun was working with a company for supplying spare parts, after sales support and product change under insurance coverage. Spare parts purchased by service supplier from Braun's center in Germany were later transported by freight forwarder companies.

Case Studies with EKOL: Braun«
After being cleared of customs by customs broker firms they were sent to Braun technical services via cargo companies. There was hardly any integration achieved on these steps, and no advantage of automation technologies for computer and product flow. Transportation, customs handling, stock and order management is taken over by Ekol providing roofconsolidation.

Case Studies with EKOL: Braun«
Taking 3rd Party Logistic service provider concept one step further, EKOL imports Braun products and takes the burden of all inventory and financial costs and risks. In this context, EKOL proved that Third Party Logistic service suppliers can be relied on, in maintaining minimum inventory levels, financing inventory keeping costs, assuming stock risks, and making direct sales decisions.

What is Ro-Ro? Ro-Ro?
Roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ships are designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trailers or railway carriages. This is in contrast to lo-lo (lift on-lift off) vessels which use a crane to load and unload cargo.

What is Ro-Ro? Ro-Ro?
RORO vessels have built-in ramps which allow the cargo to be efficiently "rolled on" and "rolled off" the vessel when in port. While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances still often have built-in ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for larger ocean-going vessels.

What is Intermodal (Combined) Transport?
It is a transport method that more than one transport mode is used for the same transport container. The process can also be defined as a transportation method where transport mode changes for the same transport container or land vehicle, but the goods themselves are not handled during these changes.

What is Intermodal (Combined) Transport?
In other words, it is a transport method that integrates advantages of different transport modes. In intermodal transport, the aim is to achieve an effective combination of cost, delivery time and service quality.

Features of Intermodal Transport
Using standard transport units (like standard containers, trailers or pallet). The suitability of the transport units for loading, carriage and unloading. The compatibility of the technological, legal and organizational parts of the process chain within the transport system. The goods inside the transportation container are not handled

Advantages of Land-Railway LandIntermodal Transport
Guarentee of long-term fixed price Secure shipping Minimum interference by weather conditions and traffic constraints Easier border crossing Cost and equipment supply advantage in high volume and planned shippings

What is a Freight Forwarder?
An independent business that handles export/import shipments for a fee. A freight forwarder is among the best sources of information and assistance on export regulations and documentation, shipping methods, and foreign import regulations. Forwarder assembles, collects and consolidates less-than-truckload (LTL) freight .

What is a Freight Forwarder?... Forwarder?...
Forwarder consolidates freight for many shippers, arranges for shipment and delivery via LTL carriers and gets lower (freight) rates based on volume than the individual shippers could obtain. At the request of the shipper, the forwarder makes the actual arrangements and provides the necessary services for expediting the shipment to its overseas destination. It also clears the freight through customs.

What is a Freight Forwarder?... Forwarder?...
The freight forwarder does not actually carry the cargo or conduct business for the ship. It is an intermediary between carrier and owner of goods being transported. The forwarding agent assists the exporter in finding the most economic and efficient methods of transporting and storing cargo.
