Here are some examples: 1.The carriers are reporting that the warehouse leaders have decided to reduce a shift to control cost and require your carriers to make appointments.If the drivers are late they must go to the back of the line.Your cost effective carries now don’t want to go back to those plants. 2.An initiative to significantly reduce inbound transportation has hit a snag at a plant.The plant has decided not to proceed with your project because they don’t have a budget for the pump and the electricity needed to operate a special unit that you negotiated for.So, your planned transportation annual savings initiative of ＄500,000 was scrapped（废弃）because the plant wouldn’t budget for ＄15,000/year in additional energy. 3.Other plant initiatives to reduce inbound freight are on hold because one plant wanted tu split the savings but their accountant said“NO.”The second plant insists that only their local carrier knows how the plant works and any other carrier(espcially a lower cost carrier)will cripple their operation.Company cost saving are lost. 4.The marketing team has announced a new package desige.Unfortunately the new design takes up more weight and cube than the last one.In turn ,the damage claims have increased and the transportation cost per pound has increased by 5 percent.This negated the saving that you had committed. So,how could some of these situations be avoided or at least mitigated?It has become my belief overtime,and reinforced since I retired,that the transportation leader must be the most active member of the supply chain and almost to the point of acting as its de facto(事实上的)leader. The examples cited above could have been avoided if there was a “greater good ”policy rule inplace.My counser is that transportationg leaders must write this policy/rule with guidelines,protocols,and with sufficient illustrations to demonstrate how everyone in the company wins. 21.“You”or“your”in this passage refers to . A.warehouse leaders B.accountants C.carriers D.transport leaders 22.From the four examples,we can see that the focus is . A.an initiative B.budget and cost C.package D.supply chain 23.“Hit a snag”in this passage means“ .” A.met with a difficulty B.succeeded C.solved the problem D.hoped for the best 24.The measure to avoid those situations in the examples is . A.to write a policy/rule B.to report to CEO C.to open a meeting with all parties involved D.to argue with the leader 25.Which business was the author most likely in before he retired? A.A law firm B.An audit office C.A logisties consulting firm D.A pubblishing house Passage 2 The progression of packaging demand is influenced by a wide range of factors,from year to year and also factors with longer-term influence.While the economy plays a central role in influencing the size and growth of the market,there are a number of other factors which can be seen as having a direct or at least indirect influence on packing demand or,at any rate,the nature of this demand,irrespective of the performance of the economy.These include: The ageing of the world population The trend towards smaller households The increasing awareness among consumers The trend towards “on-the-go”lifestyles among increasingly time-poor consumers Growing requierments for brand enhancement/differentiationg in an increasingly competitive environment New packaging material development The more towards smaller pack sizes as the incidence of families eating together at the dinner table becomes less common Increasing awarencss of environmental issues,and the adoption of new regulatory requirements on packaging recycling Out of all these factors,health awareness wa regarded as the single most important driver to growth in the packaging industry in a Pira survey of the WPO membership.The ageing of the populations throughout the world was considered the least important driver to growth in the market,although even in this case,more than half of all respondents considered this to be important to some degree. 26.The advancement of packaging demand is influenced by . A.economy B.time C.people’s awareness of protecting environment D.all of the above 27.When the author says“While the economy plays a central role in influencing the size and growth of the market….”,he means that . A.economy influences the packaging industry a lot B.economy does not influence the packaging industry at all C.economy is a factor influencing the packaging industry D.economy is centered on packaging industry 28.From the factors listed in the passage with bullets,what is the most important driving force to the growth of packaging industry?

A.Work Place Organization B.World Packaging Organization C.Wet Peroxide Oxidation D.The Washington Post Company Passage 3 A company’s supply chain will incorporate some warehousing function.This can be companyowned,owned by a third party logistics(3PL) company or could be a public warehouse.At certaintimes,ertra warehouse space is required due to any number of factors including:seasonal inventory,warehouse re-organization or warehouse damage.Whatever the reason the use of pubblic warehousing is a useful tool for the supply chain manageer as they try to find the greatest efficiencies in the supply chain. The public warehouse is not only a facility where a company can store their products,but the public warehouse offers inventory management,physical inventory counts and shipping functionality.The pubblic warehouse charges their clinets for a certain rate for the goods stored,the volume of the warehouse used and the services the client wishes to use. The company using the public warehouse does not have to employ warehouse staff,dose not require any inventory software or ware house equipment.The owner of the public warehouse is responsible for the costs and passer this on to their clients based on the rete they are charged. Although most companies see pubblic warehousing as a short-term solution it can often turn into a long-term relationship as companies become accustomed to convenience of the public warehouse services.Companies that own and operate public warehouse,invest significantly in modern facilities to remain competitive.They offer clients increasing levels of flexibility in order to retain and attract additional clients.Public warehouses offer companies a range of labor solutions including picking,packing ,inventory control software and dedicated workfore.Public warehouse will also allow clients to bring in their own ERP or warehouse software so that the public warehouse becomes a satellite loctaion with realtime d
