Optimizing Inventory/Transportation

SLP 3 – Transportation in the Supply Chain

In this SLP you will identify where the major transportation modes are used in the EESC from SLP3: rail, inland water, ocean steamer, and/or OTR.

There are five basic transportation modes: rail, inland water ways, ocean, over-the-road, and air. We will not be concerned about air transport in this SLP as it is the least used and most expensive in general supply chain transportation.

Review and read these resources on these three transportation modes: rail, inland water, and OTR. Ocean is not included in these readings since it is mainly used for importing and exporting. This will be covered in more detail in LOG502. But you are asked to identify where ocean transport is used, but not in detail.

RESOURCES – SEE SLP 3 RESOURCES IN BACKGROUND PAGE

Session Long Project

Review the EESC from SLP2. Identify in the EESC where each of the four modes of transportation are used: rail, inland water, ocean, and OTR. You can use topic headings for each mode. Identify the materials being transported from which industry to which industry. Discuss why this mode is being used and what the costs are on a per ton-mile basis.

SLP Assignment Expectations

The paper should include:

• Background: Briefly review and discuss the targeted product, company, and industry
• Diagram: Include the diagram of the EESC
• Transportation Discussion: Discuss each of the four transportation modes (rail, inland water, ocean, OTR) in the EESC and where each one is used. Discuss why this mode is used and the costs of using.
• Clarity and Organization: The paper should be well organized and clearly discuss the various topics and issues in depth and breadth.
• Use of references and citations: at least six (6) proper references should be used correctly, cited in the text, and listed in the references using proper APA format.
• Length: The paper should be three to four pages – the body of the paper excluding title page and references page.

NOTE: You can use the transportation resources. You should also do independent research and find at least two additional appropriate references, for a total of at least six.

I need a 3-5 page dynamic simulation model for energy policy in Australia to test various policy scenarios. One page should contain the visual representation of all the contributing factors. The other 3-4 pages should contain an explanation of the model, opposing government views, common arguments between government groups and unions and accurate investment pathways going forward for businesses.

This model should be an analytical tool which businesses can use to evaluate energy policy in Australia. The paper should contain a Harvard-style reference list as well as in text references.

A taxonomy, put simply, is a defined method for identifying and classifying things. Applied to a high risk organization, taxonomies are used to identify and classify things that are unsafe and that need attention. For example, if you review the reading on HFACS, which is a classification system, you’ll see how a general category, “Unsafe Acts,” is broken down into “Errors” and “Violations.” That is an important distinction to make according to the HFACS taxonomy, and each one is broken down even further.


Instructions

Taxonomies are useful tools, but they need to be well defined. In this activity consider the previous scenario of taking a drive in a modern car through a busy street in 1890. For this assignment create a list of a few categories and sub categories that you could use to create a taxonomy. TEM provides a simple example that is easy to use by identifying threats, errors, and undesired aircraft states. You could adapt this model, or you could classify events based on interactions with pedestrians, trains, or other automobiles. Would you classify events based on locations such as residential areas or highways? In addition explain how other drivers could use this taxonomy as they embark on adventures in their own automobiles. Finally, consider how you would go about using your defined taxonomy in order to increase safety.

Grading 10 Points – List and explain at least three categories. You can include sub categories if needed for clarification, but you don’t need to.

20 Points – Provide examples for each category in your taxonomy and provide sufficient detail that someone else could also use your taxonomy.

15 Points – Describe how you would implement the use of your taxonomy. Remember that taxonomies are used for classification, which is mainly for gathering information. Just gathering information will not improve safety, you have to use it somehow.

5 Points – Your response is well written and free of any significant grammatical or spelling errors.
