3. W HY THINK ABOUT LEGALITIES ? Many agencies/ departments affect trade The number of regulating bodies multiplies when you move into international trade The governing body becomes even more nebulous when several bodies compete for control

4. D OMESTIC TRADE US Constitution Art. 1, Sec.8: Congress shall have the power “To Regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes” Art. 1 Sec. 9: “No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.” and “No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another; nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.”

D OMESTIC R EGULATING A GENCIES U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Maritime Administration (MARAD) Surface Transportation Board (STB) Florida Department of Transportation Department of Highway safety and Motor Vehicles Seaport Office Office Motor Carriers Compliance Office of Forms and Procedures

6. D OMESTIC R EGULATING A GENCIES ( CONT.) National Transportation Safety Board Charged with determining the cause of transportation accidents and regulate what can be done to make transportation safer. Includes vehicular and conveyance transportation Department of Commerce Regulates what can be traded to/with foreign countries. Department of Homeland Security Houses Customs and Border Protection Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulates the impact companies can have on the environment and public lands Federal Trade Commission Regulates against monopolies, anti-competitiveness, and deceptive business practices National Labor Relations Board Regulates Labor unions and employer/ employee relations

7. N ON -G OVERNMENTAL “R EGULATORS ” Not affiliated with the government but make recommendations that government often use when making regulation or negotiate on behalf of labor groups. National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Insurance Institute of Highway Safety Labor Unions Teamsters Transport workers Union

15. Modes of Transportation primary modes of transportation truck rail air water pipeline intermodal transportation

16. Modes of Transportation Motor Carriers widely used mode of transportation in the domestic supply chain economic structure of the motor carrier industry contributes to the vast number of carriers in the industry comprised of for-hire and private fleet operations Truckload carriers. Less-than-truckload (LTL) Small package carriers Low fixed cost, high variable Railroads Activity levels have been achieved despite a lack of direct accessibility to all parts of the supply chain Railroads are “natural monopolies” Two carrier types: Line haul Shoreline carriers High fixed, low variable

17. Modes of Transportation Water Major facilitator of international trade High variable and low fixed cost Two primary carrier types Liner Charter Options include Container ships Bulk carriers Tankers General cargo ships Roll-on, roll-off (RO–RO) vessels Air Carriers 491 air cargo carriers Combination carriers Air cargo carriers Integrated carriers Nonintegrated carriers Domestic market is dominated by 14 major carriers High variable and low fixed cost

18. Pipeline Unique mode of transportation as the equipment is fixed in place and the product moves through it in high volume 174 operators of hazardous liquid pipelines that primarily carry crude oil and petroleum products Three primary types Gathering lines Trunk lines Refined product pipelines High fixed versus low variable

20. Modal Selection Accessibility Accessibility advantage: Motor carriage Accessibility disadvantage: Air, rail, and water Transit Time Transit time advantage: Air and motor carriage Transit time disadvantage: Rail, water, and pipeline Reliability Reliability advantage: Motor carriers and air carriers Reliability disadvantage: Water carriers and rail carriers

21. Modal Selection Product Safety Safety advantage: Air transportation and motor carriage Safety disadvantage: Rail and water Cost Cost advantage: The cost of transportation service varies greatly between and within the modes Cost disadvantage: Motor carriage and air transportation

22. Carrier Selection selecting the individual transportation service providers within the mode major difference between modal and carrier selection is the number of options difference is the frequency of the decision type of service provided within a mode impacts carrier selection most carriers have the capabilities to provide a similar level of service Core carrier limited number of carriers leverage its purchasing dollars

23. MAKING AND RECEIVING SHIPMENTS This refers to tactical planning and control of shipments along with supervision of freight loading and unloading. Consolidating small Shipments: Defined as those that weigh more than 150 pounds and less than 500 pounds.

24. P IC FROM SCANNER

25. S MALLER S HIPMENTS A RE P ROBLEMATIC Carrier Perspective: - Require a high degree of manual labor. - Increasing labor costs. - Lose money on small shipments because the revenues from them don’t sufficiently reflect cost considerations. - Transportation Manager Perspective: - - Large number of small shipments means that there needs to be an information system capable of keeping track of each shipments statues. - -It’s easier to keep track of one shipment of 10 units than to keep track of 10 shipments of one unit. - - Accumulate 10 units would increased the time then, could result in poorer service to the final customer.

27. S OLUTIONS ( E XAMPLE 10 U NITS ) 1- Consolidation across Time: - Accomplished through volume guidelines ( minimum shipment of 8 units which would mean a shipment on the fourth day) or time guidelines (ship every third day in which case the shipment volume would be 6 units). 2- Consolidation across Place: The transportation manager looks to build volume with shipments going to a similar destination or similar destinations and this often involves looking outside one’s firm. Transportation specialist such as freight forwarders, shippers’ associations, and transportation brokers can be helpful in achieving consolidation across place.

28. Demurrage: Is a penalty payment made by the shipper or consignee to a railroad for keeping a railcar beyond the time when it should be released back to the carrier. Detention: Is basically the same concept as demurrage, except that it usually refers to the trucking industry. Diversion: Occurs when the shipper notifies the carrier prior to the shipments arrival in the destination city, of a change destination. Reconsignment: Is similar to diversion, but it occurs after the shipment has arrived in the destination city.

29. Tracing Refers to determining a shipment’s location during the course of its move. Expediting Involves the need to rapidly move a shipment to its final destination.

32. W HY TMS? Efficiency and productivity in daily operations Enable companies to centralize the logistics function, providing support across their entire organization. Adhering to and enforcing business rules and processes to ensure proper execution. Order processing is automated through the point of load costing, carrier selection, tendering, carrier acceptance and shipment visibility. TMS systems improve carrier communications through EDI, Internet portals, and the use of email. Access to data through standard reports and additional report writers for customized reporting and tracking of data such as Freight accruals, fuel surcharge, and accessorial charges. Automated electronic reconciliation improves the speed and accuracy of freight bill audit and payment. Reduced costs through carrier selection compliance and optimization Improved customer service levels through consistent and expected delivery..

34. TMS - MANAGE THREE KEY PROCESSES OF TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT : 1. Planing and Decision Making TMS will define the most efficient transport schemes according to given parameters, which have a lower or higher importance according to the user policy: transport cost, shorter lead-time, fewer stops possible to insure quality, flows regrouping coefficient… 2. Transport follow-up TMS will allow following any physical or administrative operation regarding transportation: traceability of transport event by event (shipping from A, arrival at B, customs clearance…), editing of reception, custom clearance, invoicing and booking documents, sending of transport alerts (delay, accident, non-forecast stops…)

35. TMS - MANAGE THREE KEY PROCESSES OF TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT : 3. Measurement TMS have or need to have a Logistics KPI reporting function for transport. Various functions of a TMS: Planning and optimizing of terrestrial transport rounds Transportation mode and carrier selection Management of air and maritime transport Real time vehicles tracking Service quality control Vehicle Load and Route optimization Transport costs and scheme simulation Shipment batching of orders Cost control, KPI (Key performance indicators) reporting and statisticsKey performance indicators Typical KPIs include but not limited to: % of On Time Pick Up or Delivery Performance relative to requested Cost Per Metric - mile; km; Weight; Cube; Pallet
