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

10. 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.)
