Lufthansa is the largest airline in Europe in terms of passengers carried. By 2002, Lufthansa had become of the strongest airlines and top aviations groups in the world. Lufthansa had undergone a decade of fundamental change. Lufthansa was transformed from a state-owned, unprofitable national airline into one of the most profitable, privately owned aviation groups in the industry. The group turned a record loss of €350 million in 1992 into a pre-tax profit of €952 million in 2002. This financial result reflected Lufthansa’s major competitive advantage-its ability to respond rapidly, act flexibly, and withstand crises. Lufthansa proved its unique change management competence when it coped with September 11th, the

Due to the large quantity of freight and the long distance that it must travel to arrive to its destination exporters and importers alike have found logistic service providers essential to engage in international trade (Rodriguez, Comtois, Slack, 2013). While some Logistics service providers focus only on the area of transportation others specialize in freight consolidation, distribution management, and warehousing (Robinson, 2014). They have enough market knowledge, information and communication systems to offer supply chain solutions tailored to the specific needs of any company be it small or large (Rodriguez, Comtois, Slack,

This was an accident involving military assets however; the cargo was loaded and secured by the contractor National Air Cargo. Not only did they operated the aircraft but also they was in charge of loading the cargo fully. In the investigation the FAA and NTSB was involved not the DoD. However, I think the DoD could have provided better oversight or visibility to insure that the contractor was loading DoD assets in according with the applicable regulation or guidance. Otherwise, we might not be talking about the loss of lives and DoD due to oversight or failure to adhere to standards.

Regulations imposed on the motor carrier industry have two sided effects on the US economy. The motor carrier industry is a vital aspect of the US economy, transporting goods all across the world. First let’s explore the term regulation this is a law or rule placed into effect by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) this administration creates and implements the regulations for various reasons, safety, driver qualifications, hours of service, fuel costs and fuel standards and emissions.

Today we are going to explain and possibly solve Lynden Transport’s problem of more inbound freight than out-bound. While our solution is not necessarily out-bound freight in the true sense, it is a way for the company to save money. This problem is not unique to Lynden Transport and with them possibly leading the way in the use of our solution, they can continue to be at the forefront of the transportation industry.

Indeed use of third-party logistics (3PL) firms in transportation helps firms to meet complexities of global trade, worldwide increased competition, as well as the constant downward pressure in terms of prices and margins. This is in a bid to build up better logistic systems that can fulfill their needs for better services at a lower cost. Among the reasons as to why companies use 3PL firms is to outsource non-strategic activities which enables organizations to concentrate on the major competencies as well as to exploit external logistics expertise, (Ivan Su Hertz, Susanne, 2009). These third party firms have the capability of developing unique assets, acquiring the necessary resources and achieving superior logistics performance using 3PL relations. Companies therefore find it efficient and effective method of achieving the needed service with no engaging so much in investing new capabilities and in assets upon entering into a relationship with 3PL firms.

The transportation and logistics industry is one of the key components of modern life. It provides the framework through which every raw material and finished consumer good is moved through the supply chain into the hands of consumers. This industry is generally taken for granted by consumers. When consumers do think about the industry it is thought of in terms of unchanging and stagnate transportation modes. This vision of the industry is not an accurate reflection of the reality of modern transportation industry. During the last several decades the technological innovations that have changed the face of modern life, have also had far reaching effects on the transportation industry. The pressures driving innovation in the industry
