Introductory text Logistics is one of business terms which market economy brought into the Russian language. The word ‘logistics’ was used in ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires to denote the military’s need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position. With increasing development of trade and economy, it started to be used in business too. Moving raw materials to manufactures and then finished goods to customers used to be a simple job for men with strong backs and little education. Today senior management of a firm is concerned about improving transportation management and logistics as transportation represents a major expense item and freight transportation accounts for about 6 per cent of gross domestic product of a country. The goal of transportation is to ensure that all raw material arrive at the factory at the proper time and in good condition. To achieve that it is necessary to focus on improvements of operation that lead to a better service at the lower cost. They quote freight rates for salespeople, suggest quantity discounts, select carriers and routes for reliable delivery of products. The meaning of logistics is expanding. Now we speak about inbound, internal, outbound logistics, transport logistics, strategic logistics, warehousing logistics etc. Logistics is that part of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers’ requirements. Exporting When a country exports goods there are many problems it must consider, e.g. packaging, transportation, insurance and payment. First of all the goods must be packed carefully in containers to protect them from damage. The containers label show where they are going, also the label may show what the containers contain. Goods can be transported by sea or by air, by a shipping or by an airline. If the goods are shipped, then transit must be arranged from the factory to the docks (or quay). The shipment must be insured against loss or damage in transit. If the goods are damaged in transit the company is covered by the insurance. Obviously someone has to pay for all these things. While goods are in transit they are called freight (or cargo), so the company pays freight rates (or shipping costs) to the shipping company. The cargo is loaded at the dock and for this the company pays handling charges. Also the company must pay packaging charges. Exporting brings foreign currency into the country, so governments encourage export trade by giving assistance to exporters. Often companies borrow money from banks to finance exporting. This money is called export credit. Another form of government assistance is tax relief or tax advantage. Vocabulary notes. insurance -страхование handling -обработка грузов, данных tax relief -льготы по уплате налогов, налоговая скидка freight rates - транспортные тарифы, плата за перевозку handling charges -плата за погрузочно-разгрузочные работы; плата за обработку грузов encourage -поощрять, поддерживать Task 1.

Logistics The interest in logistics is immense now. The market demand for logistics managers is great. Transport logistics is the art of organizing the transfer of cargo from origin to destination. Marine engineering companies, port authorities and manufactures have joined shipping companies, freight forwarders and logistics operators in providing a service which is referred to as LOGISTICS. Logistic operators provide freight forwarding, warehousing, inventory management, stuffing and unstuffing of containers, palletizing, packaging and product configuration. The logistics industry is changing fast. Western logistics companies have begun offering new services to new markets: Eastern Europe, Russia and Asia. New transport routs by air, rail, road and sea are constantly turning up. Service chains are more comprehensive than ever before. An up-to-date logistic operator is a company which has a big warehouse and their own fleet of trucks shuttling containers back and forth between ports, railway hubs or airports and a logistic park. The company will offer consolidation, deconsolidation, customs clearance and other logistics services such as packing, palletizing and relabeling of goods. Normally in logistics if you can be the first, you have a large chance of taking the whole market. Vocabulary notes. transfer -перемещение, транспортирование freight forwarder -экспедитор warehouse -товарный склад stuffing - загрузка груза в контейнер («стафировка» груза), заполнение consolidation - консолидация груза customs clearance -таможенный досмотр palletizing - укладка (штабелирование) груза на поддоны, Task 1.

Freight Transport Logistics in Europe – the key to sustainable mobility Europe’s transport policy has been characterized by liberalization and harmonization over the years. This has slowly shaped the transport system into what it is today. The fast growth of freight transport – driven to a large extent by economic decisions – contributes to growth and employment but also causes congestion, accidents, noise and pollution, increase reliance on imported fossil fuels, and energy loss. Infrastructure resources are limited and any disruption in the supply chain has necessarily a negative impact on the UN economy. Without adequate measures, the situation will continue worsening and increasingly undermine Europe’s competitiveness and the environment that we all live in. To overcome such problems, Europe’s transport system needs to be optimized by means of advanced logistics solutions. Logistics can increase the efficiency of individual modes of transport and their combinations. As a result, fewer units of transport, such as vehicles, wagons, and vessels should carry more freight. Impact on the environment will decrease accordingly. Rail and inland waterways need to be modernized. Air freight should be more closely integrated in the system. The positive development of short sea shipping should be accelerated. Deep-sea shipping and its hinterland connections need to be enhanced. At the same time each transport mode must be optimized. All modes must become more environmentally friendly, safer, and more energy efficient. Vocabularynotes. shape (v) - формировать, создавать contribute (v) - содействовать, делать вклад congestion - загромождение fossil fuel - ископаемое, природное топливо undermine - разрушать, негативно сказываться disruption - разрыв, повреждение hinterland -прилегающая территория short sea shipping -каботажное судоходство enhance - улучшать, активизировать, совершенствовать Task 1.

Look through the text and find the information to answer the following questions: 1. What are the negative consequences of the fast growth of freight transport? 2. What should be done to overcome the problems of transport system?
Task 3. Read the following text from a logistic company magazine about new trends in third-party logistics. Then label the paragraphs with the correct headings from the list. Recent trends in 3PL (third-party logistics*) * Выполнение логистических операций третьим лицом (комплексная сторонняя логистика) Today’s role of major providers Changing logistics requirements for manufactures 3PL in the past New challenges for 3PL Change in logistic concepts 1. ________________ Until a few years ago, companies used to outsource only parts of their logistics operations to providers specializing in services such as distribution or warehousing. A single company sometimes had several third-party logistics providers. 2.________________ The globalization of trade and increasing demand for services has led to a drastic shift in logistic concept and management with an impact on producers and logistic providers. 3. _____________ For manufactures logistic management has become more complex. Many of them have learned that outsourcing single segments to different providers has not made their logistic operations more efficient. That is why they are looking for providers who can provide a higher level of service. 4. ____________ For 3PLs requirements are growing because customers are asking for a wider range of logistics solutions. Besides, logistics providers today are facing highly competitive market. In recent years, growing pressure on prices has led to a decrease in profit margins. In order to compensate for this, many third-party logistic providers offer new services for their customers. Due to competition in the 3PL market, experts predict that only the big international players will be able to work profitably in the future. 5. ______________ The big global players, also called super-3PLs, can provide their customers with end-to-end solutions*. These cervices usually include forwarding, transportation, consolidation, customs brokerage, warehousing and distribution. ________________________ * end-to-end solution – комплексное решение | |||||||
