Q. 1. Why depots are needed and what are
its functions?Explain.
Q. 2.Explain why geographic region is
important in logistics.
Answer: The
growing flows of freight have been a fundamental component of contemporary
changes in economic systems at the global, regional and local scales. These
changes are not merely quantitative with more freight in circulation, but also
structural and operational. Structural changes mainly involve manufacturing
systems with their expanded geography of production, while operational changes
mainly concern freight transportation with its geography of distribution,
namely intermodal transport systems. As such, the fundamental question does not

movements, but how this freight is moving. New modes of production are

Logistics strategy is the set of guiding principles, driving forces and
ingrained attitudes that help to coordinate goals, plans and policies between
partners across a given supply chain.

requiring a little more from logistics service providers than movement of
products from factory to distribution centre to retail outlet. Over time, the
scope of customer needs has broadened.
Today, logistics
operations have become much more complex as companies find it extremely
difficult to maintain their competitive advantage purely on the basis of
innovative strategies relating to the product, price, place, or promotion.
Since these

6. Explain how logistics is integrated within an organization.
Answer: Prior to the
1950s, functions now accepted as logistics were generally viewed as
facilitating or support work. Organization responsibility for logistics was
typically dispersed throughout the firm. Such fragmented responsibility often
meant that aspects of logistical work were performed without coordination,
often resulting in duplication and waste. Logistical information was typically
fragmented, distorted or delayed, and lines of authority and responsibility for
overall logistics was diffused throughout the organization. Managers,
