The cost associated with the physical transfer of goods is an essential piece of information in the negotiation of an international trade transaction. To maintain a product’s competitiveness, the seller must make sure that his cost is as low as possible.

These elements cannot always be clearly quantified beforehand.

After the attacks on September 11th, 2001 the United States was forced to reassess its policies over the defense of the country within its borders. Until that time the United States’ homeland security was under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice (Masse, O’Neil, & Rollins, 2007). After the attack the Executive branch of the government created a new organization that would be responsible for deciding where the biggest threats to the country were. This was the birth of the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for assessing all risk to the Nation within its borders and developing way to mitigate these threats before a disaster can take place.

After the September 11 terrorist attacks, the United States and other developed countries changed their assumed view of the threat from terrorism. Massive amount of resources were mobilized in a very short time to counter the perceived and actual threat from terrorists and terrorist organizations. In the U.S., this change was pushed as a necessity for what was called "Homeland Security”. It went through the enactment of hundreds of statutes and regulations, substantial changes in policy initiatives, the most massive governmental reorganization since 1947, and brought the new business of homeland security to the face of American awareness. Soon after the terrorist attacks, Congress passed various new laws and enhanced some existing ones

A description of the main issues raised in the case from the point of view of logistics management

Belgium is a country located in central Western Europe. It has seen many ups and downs. However, today it is one of Europe’s, and one of the world’s top logistic countries. First, we will review over Belgium’s population, geography, economy, and technology. Then, we will discuss how the supply chain and logistics work in Belgium. This includes transportation, trade within Belgium, trade with other countries, and supply chain risks. There is much to discuss on Belgium’s logistics.

Although it is a clever and efficient way to manage the supply chain, what kind of risks will be faced in extended supply chain? There are two categories of risk affecting extended supply chain: one is the risk emerging from the problem of coordinating supply and demand, and the second risk is came from disruption. (Kleindorfer and Saad, 2004) Disruption risks include operational risks, which basically refer to equipment malfunctions, unforeseen discontinuities in supply, and human-centered issues from strikes to fraud, and as well as Natural hazards risks. And coordination risk is exposed in process of procurement, production and

Transportation is a key element in the logistic chain. It joins together those components that are considered to be separated. In order for transportation and logistics to work together successfully, there must be good management between them. It plays a

Acts of terrorism has greatly affected multiple countries, including the United States. The horrific events that took place on 9/11 left the American people shocked, devastated, and furious. Many innocent American’s lost their lives on this infamous day. While airports and airlines are not free from security breaches, a set of new security measures and requirements have been implemented by the International Air Transport Association and the International Civil Aviation Organization (Beirman, 2011). Increased security at airports and airlines, have left terrorists to target more vulnerable areas such as tourist destinations. Attacking tourists’ spots such as hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, conference venues and other forms

Transport plays a critical role in the supply chain and according to Bhattacharya et al. (2014) it is becoming one of the key components of the whole supply chain valuation for many organizations. Transportation is the movement of good from one location to another. Supply chain is a network of individuals, organizations, activities, resources and technology that is involved in formation and sale of a product, which is from the delivery of source materials from the supplier to the manufacturer, through to the end user. Hopkins (2007) states that supply chain professionals look at whole business procedures, which is from raw materials to manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing. And by
