Answer.
Intermodal
transportation
It is a combination of
at least two or more modes of transportation. For example, a manufacturer using
water transport to ship goods from one country to another, and then using the
road transport to get the goods to a customer. It is one of the most important
modes of transportation as it becomes essential in situations where one mode of
transportation is not enough. When there are more than two modes of
transportation involved, it is called a multimodal transportation.

Answer.
Lead
time reduction
Lead time reduction is
one of the powerful methods to reduce cost throughout the supply chain. It also
helps to enhance the customer satisfaction. Increase in uncertainty, increase
in inventory costs and decrease in response time to customer needs are some of
the negative impact of longer lead time.
We can obtain the
following benefits by reducing the lead time:
·
Fulfil
customer orders quickly
·
Reduce
bullwhip effect
·
Create
accurate forecasts
·
Reduce
finished products inventory levels

What is standardisation? Explain the four approaches to standardisation?
(Explanation
of standardization, Description of the approaches to standardization)2, 8 (2
marks for each approach)
Answer.
Standardization
Standardisation is a
process of using a standard product in place of a family of products.
Standardisation helps to achieve economies of scale by doing an activity once
and repeating it many times.
Generally, lead time
can be shortened by reducing inventory levels and increasing forecast accuracy.
However, after a certain stage it cannot be achieved in the same way (stock out
issue), but standardisation can be used to further reduce the lead time. There
are four different approaches (identified by Jayashankar M. Swaminathan, an
expert in the global supply-chain management and mass customisation) to
standardisation. They are:

E-commerce impacts SCM
in the following ways:
Cost efficiency – E-commerce facilitates
transportation companies of all sizes to exchange data over the Internet
regarding the cargo. It allows shippers, firms associated with trucking and
freight forwarders to update their documents related to cash and time
investments that are necessary for the traditional paper work system.
