填空题Logistical Operating Arrangements The 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 performance, 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) 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 to 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 break-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 consumer 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 performance. This combination of capabilities, designed into the order delivery cycle, (14) Examples of direct shipments are plant-to-customer truckload shipments, direct store delivery, and various forms of direct-to-consumer fulfillment required to support Internet shopping~ Direct logistical structures are also commonly used for inbound components and materials to manufacturing plants because the average shipment size is typically large. A. In contrast to inventory echeloning are logistical systems designed to ship products direct to customer's destination from one or a limited number of centrally located inventories B. proceeds through a common arrangement of firms and facilities as it moves from origin to final destination C. A consolidation warehouse operates in a reverse profile D. reduces time delays and overcomes geographical separation from customers E. The use of echelons usually implies that total cost analysis justifies stocking some level of inventory or performing specific activities at consecutive levels of a supply chain F. When one considers the variety of logistical systems used throughout the world to service widely diverse markets G. These two characteristics tend to create commonly observed operating arrangements H. Typical echelon systems utilize either break-bulk or consolidation warehouses

填空题A Regular European business travellers view travelling on commercial airlines as inefficient and inconvenient. Mostly it is not the airlines' fault but the infrastructure they have to work with. Private aircraft are being bought primarily not to save money on tickets but to save time. Scheduled flights in Europe cover only 10 per cent of the destinations available. Delays, more likely than not in European travel these days , waste precious time. The number of hours top executives with huge salaries waste has a direct impact on cost-effectiveness. B The gradual completion of Europe's single market means that more and more executives are criss-crossing Europe to look for business. With European domestic air fares extremely high, a corporate jet looks more attractive for executives flying three or four times a month. Even some of Europe's smaller companies are investigating it. However, the larger European airports operate priority regulations which govern slot allocation for take-off and create delays; airlines have first priority, chartered flights come second, air taxis third and business jets are fourth on the list. Smaller airports pose problems of access and a risk of inadequate ground handling. C Most businesses will not discuss their corporate aircraft or even reveal whether the already high-earning chief executive has an aircraft, for fear of shareholder reaction. There is still some stigma attached to ownership of a business jet. With new planes costing anything from $5 million upwards plus extra comforts in the interior, many companies feel they can't justify the expense to shareholders and employees. For some European managers a private jet is seen as an unacceptable perk indicating serious problems in a company's management. D The market for private aircraft fall into two sectors, the no-expense-spared rich man's plaything-the popular image-and the serious business tool owned by corporations. Manufacturers deliver the former as what is called a "green" aircraft-a plane that is unfinished except for a green corrosive-resistant paint which covers the bare metal. Owners personalize the plane with telephones, dining areas and even cinemas. The latter sector is very different and planes are normally bought with straightforward seating. E Fractional ownership of aircraft has opened up the market, as the low acquisition costs and predictable monthly fees are more palatable to shareholders, and to first-time buyers. Some of the biggest names in the business jet industry have launched their own fractional ownership schemes. Several smaller companies are also getting in on the act and are trying to beat the larger companies down the runway by offering cheaper prices. Yet critics claim that fractional ownership is untested and faces the customer with a wide range of liabilities.
