FedEx created overnight delivery service and second-day delivery service in order to satisfy customers’ need in a way that its competitors cannot. Both services guaranteed delivery time to every customer, they willing to pay the premium price. In this case, customers self-select the option based on their preferences, depending on the relative values of prices or their situational needs. If there is an urgent package, the customer can select overnight service. However, a second-day delivery is a cheaper choice for customers if they do not need to send the package right away. However, these services are still not much different from its rival such as UPS or DHL. FedEx has to add capacity control strategy, which allows it to maintain its revenue.

Currently, the shipping and receiving departments have materials coming in and going out at the same time. With the rail handling shipping and receiving, this is creating a bottleneck of materials. By creating certain shipping and receiving times that do not conflict, this will allow for a smooth process that will help the supply chain. (Russell, R., et al., pg. 423) Not only does the actual manufacturing process need to run smoothly, but the shipping and receiving of materials needs to run the same.

UPS uses many different approaches to shipping goods and information. The company owns and operates a fleet of vehicles and it also has a fleet of airplanes as well. However, a main component of how the company differentiates itself from its competitors is how it has Supply Chain Management offerings.

Reading the short section of The NORTON SAMPLER SHORT ESSAYS for COMPOSITION was a beneficial reminder of all the different writing techniques I learned in the past even if it had monotonous moments. I enjoyed being reminded of all the past lessons I have taken to improve and perfect my writing skills. It also helped bring a sense of structure to my academic life.

When you think of sending a package, the first thing that strikes your mind is efficient and prompt delivery. This is the major trait you look for in a courier company by which you are sending your shipments.

By 1976, at a volume of 1,300 packages per day, FedEx’s Courier Pack service was only fulfilling one tenth of a percent of the “emergency rush” market, which totaled 870,000 packages delivered per day. By comparison, at 13,400 deliveries per day, the company’s Priority One “emergency rush” service accounted for one percent of the total market. Clearly both services have potential to gain more share of the rush delivery market, but the Courier Pack’s untapped potential is nearly limitless. Surely, the remaining 98 percent or so of customers using competing services for emergency rush delivery, including Emery Air Freight and USPS Express Service, are not familiar with Fed Ex’s less expensive, and more consistent Courier Pack service, and would switch brands with heightened awareness gained through careful marketing.
