While I find myself agreeing with the decision of the court to uphold the New Jersey transportation program, I have found that in the reasoning of the decision I do not agree. In my view today’s ruling took a dramatic departing from the jurisprudence established in the opinion. Thus, clarification is needed for the claimed unanimous understanding of the Establishment Clause, and the division in the way this particular case was ruled. In the case of Everson we were asked to examine the constitutionality of the transportation program of New Jersey as it is seen in violation of the First and Fourteenth Amendments. As a court, we decided that the program would remain as is and this is something that I agreed with. Justice Black delivered an

The evolution of the express mail industry had become a quick on-time shipping and delivery of packages. The service had become effective, reliable, and prompt, which most of the top companies could deliver on these guaranteed promises 96-99% of the time. But, delivery services were only a portion of the services being offered to their customers. Carriers had mastered information management that they shared with their customers. Customers were now able to fill out labels, track the route of their package, and assisted in billing using both via carrier provided software or the Internet.

The importance metrics to drive performance has been well established (Emami, S., Doolen, T.L., 2015). A balanced score card would be a key resource to the process improvement program.

Sustainability has become a great topic of interest in many arenas. Particularly, leading organizations are recognizing sustainability needs to be an essential aspect of their long term strategies. With this recognition, better business practices are being sought by investors as well as sustainability is becoming a driving force for better efficiencies and innovation. Two organizations, Wal-Mart and Starbucks, have both took on sustainability as long term initiatives to address their customer needs and affect how their suppliers operate.

Sustainable innovations can be achieved through proper management rather than through happenstance or chance management of innovations.

Truck transportation has been the backbone of freight movements in the United States and across the globe for decades. While utilizing trucks is an economical way to move freight for short hauls of less than a 1,000 miles, there are high environmental and infrastructure costs for utilizing this mode of transportation. According to Lowe, road transportation’s use of energy resources rose 103 per cent in the period since 1970 (2005). Additionally, Lowe points out that road transportation’s emission of green house gasses, “increased by 76% between 1971 and 1989” (Lowe, 2005, p. 112). Furthermore, road transportation is the largest polluter in the industry. It utilizes “over 80% of the total energy used in the transport sector and contributes over 75% of its total CO2 output (Lowe, 2005, p. 113). Finally, freight transportation by heavy vehicles causes pavement damage at significantly higher rates than passenger traffic (SSTI, 2011).
