ANSWERS TO END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONS
CHAPTER 1: LOGISTICS AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN
1. Did it surpri you that logistics can be such an important component in a country’s economic system? Why or why not?
它构成了一个国家至少10%的GDP、对于经济增长有很重要的作用
The answer to this question likely depends on a student’s prior exposure to logistics. A “typical” student in an undergraduate basic logistics cour likely has had limited exposure to and knowledge about logistics and thus would likely be unaware as to logistics’ impact on a country’s economic system. As such, she/he might be pleasantly surprid to learn that logistics often accounts for at least 10% of a country’s GDP and also is important for economic growth and development.
2.Distinguish between posssion, form, time, and place utility.
lunPosssion utility refers to the value or ufulness that comes from a customer being able to take posssion of a product and can be influenced by the relevant payment terms. Form utility refers to a product’s being in a form that (1) can be ud by the customer and (2) is of value to the customer. Time utility refers to having products available when they are needed by customers while place utility refers to having products available where they are needed by customers.

时间效用：不同产品有不同的时间敏感度，香蕉和铅笔；地点效用：把产品从价至少的地方运到价值大的地方。
Logistics contributes to time utility by recognizing that different products have different nsitivities to time. For example, a three-day late delivery of bananas likely has more rious conquences than a three-day late delivery of a box of pencils. As for place utility, logistics facilitates products being moved from points of lesr value to points of greater value.

4.How can a particular logistics system be effective but not efficient?
能不能实现 实现得好不好
Effectiveness can be thought of as “how well a company does what they say they’re going to do;” efficiency focus on how well (or poorly) company resources are ud to achieve what a company promis they can do. There are a multitude of examples that would illustrate an effective, but not efficient, logistics system. For example, some companies routinely u premium and/or expedited transportation—which increa transportation costs—to meet customer delivery requirements. As such, the company could be considered effective (meeting delivery deadlines) but perhaps not efficient (incread transportation costs).
5.Explain the significance of the fact that the purpo of logistics is to meet customer requirements.
公司要想发展必须和客户交流，知道他们的需求而不是猜测；不同的客户有不同的需求，
apart from不能用单一类型单一规格的服务来对所有顾客。
One reason for this significance is that meeting customer requirements means that companies must know—rather than assume—customer needs and wants. This knowledge is facilitated by communication between companies and their customers. Even today some companies are hesitant to communicate with customers. In addition, meeting customer requirements means that a “one size fits all” approach to logistics will result in some customers being overrved and others being underrved. As a result, companies should consider a “tailored logistics” approach, where groups of customers with similar logistical needs and wants are provided with the appropriate logistical rvices.
6.Explain how an understanding of logistics management could be relevant to your favorite charitable organization.慈善机构
例如9。11 例如印度洋海啸 如果物流不好的话慈善机构就无法在短时间内正常救援，物流能带来药品、食物、衣物等
There are any number of examples that can be ud. Consider the Asian tsunami of late 2004. In a relatively short time, a variety of humanitarian organizations, with the help of private ctor companies, were able to get relief supplies as well as food and medicine into the region and distribute them to the affected population.
7.Discuss 常用英语900句three reasons for why logistics has become more important since 1980.
经济管制的减少；消费者行为的改变；科学技术的发展；零售商力量的崛起；全球化
One reason for the incread importance of logistics involves a reduction in economic regulation. This allowed individual carriers flexibility in terms of pricing and rvice and provided them with an opportunity to break away from a “one size fits all” approach. Second, changes in consumer behavior, such as an increasing number of market gments, necessitate flexible rather than rigid logistics systems. Third, technological advances have allowed logisticians to make faster, more informed, and more accurate decisions. The chapter also discuss the growing power of retailers and globalization of trade as reasons for the incread importance of logistics.
