MT435 Operations Management


The primary purpose of a business is to maximize profits, so it needs to think about

globalization. Global supply chain management aims to generate an optimum level of customer

services and goods to maximize its business profits. Three categories must incorporate in global

supply chain management include Logistics, Transportation, and Security.


Logistics is everything from acquired, stored, transported, inventory, packaging, supplies,

warehouse, etc. It sounds complicated, but without logistics, there is no global supply chain

management. "Logistics is the transportation and distribution of goods and services." Taylor,

2019. Suppose management has an exemplary process of planning and executing. In that case,

logistics will be efficient from point A to B. Logistics is important to many businesses because it

can help cut on the product's cost and time from point A to point B.


Transportation is the movement of goods from one location to another, according to

Taylor, 2019. There are plenty of transportation modes such as rail, trucking, air, water,

intermodal, and pipeline. Depending on which type of business you are in, transportation is key

to getting the goods to the customer at the less cost possible. Global transportation is costly

because it is overseas. There are pros and cons to transportation globally. The advantages of

transportation globally are enhanced network and cost reduction. Enhanced network – there are

so many companies out there wanting to do business to take your business's logistic needs. Cost

reduction – due to cheap labor from other countries like China, India, etc., the cost will be less on

a product so that transportation will be less. The disadvantages of global transportation are cost

and legality. Cost – Cost increases due to weather and disaster; these will increase cost in

transportation. Legality – Politic plays a major role in this because tax tariffs can affect expenses

up or down.
