Logistics Planning WFP Logistics, We Deliver

Lesson Plan: Logistics Planning LEARNING OBJECTIVES: By the end of the session, participants will be able to: Explain how plans are developed from programme requirements and sourcing strategies Explain how logistics networks are designed and configured Describe the primary cost drivers in logistics networks Structure Timing Activities Introduction 5 minutes Explain lesson objectives Time-line of a Logistics Response Operation 10 minutes Mode phase in/out, set-up. Examples of timeline for preparedness (Nepal) Logistics Plan Development Outline the elements of a logistics plan. required resources and tools to develop the plan. Cover the constraints and information requirements to develop the plan. Transport Mode Selection and Comparison 40 minutes Select and Compare the different modes of transport in terms Time, Cost, Size, Flexibility, Availability, Advantages/Disadvantages Logistics Networks Design Cost drivers and logistics network consideration and distribution networks (hub and spoke vs direct delivery etc.) Implementing a Plan Discuss the process of implementing a plan in an emergency situation and mechanisms for incremental implementation of the plan Lesson End/Plenary EVALUATION / RECAP QUESTIONS: The facilitator should ask the questions below, or similar questions to the class to recap the lesson to ensure participants have understood the lesson content. What are the most important factors in designing a logistics network? What are the primary drivers of logistics costs? What are the benefits of using air transport in an emergency, what are the constraints? Total Lesson Length 90 minutes   This slide is for the facilitators reference only.

Exercise: Transport Mode Selection In groups, list what might be the advantages and disadvantages for each of the modes of transport 20 minutes to list / 10 minutes to discuss Mode Advantages Disadvantages DO NOT PRINT IN WORKBOOK

Exercise: Transport Mode Selection Advantages Disadvantages Airline (passenger, all-cargo) Quick/reliable for urgent items Can reach far away places Increase proximity to area of operations High costs Dependent on weather conditions Landing requirements Land in difficult areas More versatile than planes Limited cargo space High cost Dedicated fleet, TL or LTL Carrier Highly flexible Inexpensive Readily available Point to point Dependent on passible roads Travel dangers (landslides, floods etc.) DO NOT PRINT IN WORKBOOK Container, Car, Unit Train Large load capacity Low cost Awkward loading/offloading Need additional transport to warehouse/end point Container Tanker Barge Large load capacity Economical Slow Need additional transport to warehouse/end point Low Cost Access to areas unreachable by other transport Small load capacity Dependent on waterway characteristics Low cost Access difficult areas Limited load capacity slow
