Logistics in Aviation Industry

The United States Army utilizes a logistics system for aviation known as Unit Level Logistics System-Aviation (Enhanced). This logistics system is used in Army aviation for a multitude of highly important practices and processes required to keep Army aircraft flying. The United States Army depends on this logistical system both home and abroad to remain the most combat ready and advanced warfighter in the world. An important aspect of the technologically advanced logistics system is the ability to interface with all other Army logistic systems and advanced aircraft. Other Army logistic systems will be discussed in this research paper to show how all the different logistic systems work together. Army aviators, aircraft crewmembers, managers,

Logistics is a vital component of supply chain management. Both involve the planning, carrying out and management of goods, services and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Logistics aligns the multifaceted pattern of traffic and transportation, shipping and receiving, import and export operations, warehousing, inventory management, purchasing, production planning and customer service. Organizations, like the one I work for, see logistics as a critical design of the supply chain. When organizations incorporate logistics as a key component of the business plan, they can use it to manage, coordinate and monitor resources needed to move products in a smooth, timely, cost effective and reliable manner.

In business, the term “distribution” refers broadly to the process of delivering the product to the customer. For airlines, the product is the ticket or cargo waybill. Driven by rising costs and competitive pressures, and empowered by new technologies, carriers have continued to make headway in expanding their distribution offerings to business and non-business consumers. In doing so, the airlines have increased productivity and reduced expenses.

In the vast industry that is transportation and logistics management, has a lot of influence on the economy of the United States. One of the reasons for the close connection of the industry and U.S economy is because of globalization, and in the content of this paper we will examine different segments of the industry, and how they affect the economy in different ways. Addressing specific segments of the industry tells us just how important each segment is to the economy, instead of speaking of the industry in general. Throughout this research paper we will be looking at five specific transportation and logistics operation within the industry. The airline industry is very important to the many cities within the United States, creating a number of jobs because of the ability that airports have to connect cities to the rest of the world. Job created through the air transport systems that help boost a cities economy is tourisms and airport jobs, which can help to transform a city. The cruise ship industry also help boost cities, which operates port of call for the cruises that operate from them. Cruises also generates many jobs in the tourism sector as people sometimes have to fly and overnight from different cities to board these cruises. Another major factor that is affecting the industry is globalization and how it is able to create jobs and help improve the economy. Other areas in the transportation and logistics industry that has an affect on the economy is the overuse of
