Key Terms to Review (17)

Customs clearance: Customs clearance is the process of passing goods through customs so they can enter or leave a country. It involves the submission of documentation and payment of duties and taxes, ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met before goods can be released for distribution.
Direct Distribution: Direct distribution is a method of delivering products from manufacturers straight to consumers without intermediaries like wholesalers or retailers. This strategy allows companies to maintain greater control over their products, enhance customer relationships, and reduce costs associated with third-party distribution channels.
Distribution center model: The distribution center model is a logistics framework that focuses on the storage and distribution of goods from a central location, enabling efficient inventory management and product delivery. This model plays a crucial role in optimizing supply chain processes by consolidating inventory, reducing transportation costs, and improving service levels across various markets.
Distributor: A distributor is an intermediary entity that purchases products from manufacturers and sells them to retailers or directly to consumers. Distributors play a vital role in the supply chain by managing the logistics, storage, and transportation of goods, which helps to ensure that products are available in the right places at the right times, making them essential to global distribution strategies.
E-commerce logistics: E-commerce logistics refers to the processes involved in managing the flow of goods and services from the point of origin to the end consumer in the context of online shopping. This includes warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and transportation, all tailored to meet the demands of digital retailing. The efficiency of e-commerce logistics is critical for ensuring timely delivery, maintaining customer satisfaction, and optimizing operational costs in a highly competitive market.
Freight forwarding: Freight forwarding is the process of organizing and coordinating the transportation of goods from one place to another on behalf of shippers. This involves managing logistics, documentation, customs clearance, and various transportation methods to ensure that goods arrive at their destination efficiently and safely. Freight forwarders serve as intermediaries between shippers and carriers, allowing businesses to navigate complex global supply chains effectively.
Hub-and-spoke model: The hub-and-spoke model is a logistics and transportation network design where a central hub serves as the main point for connecting multiple spokes, or routes, to various destinations. This model enhances efficiency and reduces costs by consolidating shipments at the hub before distributing them to their final destinations. It is particularly effective for managing large volumes of goods or passengers, allowing for streamlined operations and improved service levels.
Import/export regulations: Import/export regulations are the laws and rules that govern the movement of goods across international borders. These regulations ensure that trade is conducted safely, fairly, and in compliance with local and international laws. They encompass various aspects such as tariffs, quotas, customs procedures, and documentation requirements, which directly impact how businesses operate in global markets.
Indirect distribution: Indirect distribution refers to the method of delivering goods and services to consumers through intermediaries, such as wholesalers, distributors, or retailers, instead of selling directly to the end users. This approach allows companies to reach a broader audience by leveraging the established networks and expertise of these intermediaries, enhancing market penetration and customer access.
Inventory Management: Inventory management is the process of overseeing and controlling the ordering, storage, and use of a company's inventory. This includes managing raw materials, work-in-progress items, and finished goods to ensure that the right amount of products is available at the right time. Effective inventory management connects various elements like visibility systems, distribution strategies, shipping logistics, supply chain integration, and optimization techniques to enhance operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Lead Time: Lead time is the total time it takes from the initiation of a process to its completion, especially in the context of supply chain management. It encompasses all phases, including ordering, production, and delivery, and is crucial for effective planning and efficiency within operations.
Order Fulfillment Rate: Order fulfillment rate is a key performance indicator that measures the efficiency and effectiveness of a supply chain in delivering products to customers on time and in full. A high order fulfillment rate indicates strong supply chain processes and customer satisfaction, while a low rate can highlight issues in inventory management, logistics, or customer service.
Supply chain resilience: Supply chain resilience refers to the ability of a supply chain to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from unexpected disruptions. This concept is critical in today's globalized economy, where supply chains face various challenges that can threaten their stability and efficiency.
Third-Party Logistics Provider: A third-party logistics provider (3PL) is a company that offers logistics services to other businesses, managing aspects of their supply chain such as transportation, warehousing, and distribution. These providers enable companies to focus on their core competencies by outsourcing logistics functions, which can lead to cost savings, improved service levels, and enhanced flexibility in the global marketplace.
Trade compliance: Trade compliance refers to the adherence to laws, regulations, and guidelines governing international trade activities. It involves ensuring that all aspects of the supply chain, from procurement to distribution, align with national and international trade laws, including customs regulations and export controls. Effective trade compliance minimizes risks associated with penalties and fines while facilitating smoother global transactions.
Transportation Management System: A Transportation Management System (TMS) is a software platform designed to manage and optimize the transportation of goods. It facilitates the planning, execution, and analysis of the physical movement of products, allowing businesses to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction. By automating processes such as route planning, freight auditing, and carrier selection, a TMS plays a critical role in global distribution strategies.
Warehouse management system: A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software solution that helps organizations manage and optimize their warehouse operations, including inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and shipping logistics. By providing real-time data and insights, a WMS enhances efficiency and accuracy in the management of goods, making it an essential tool for global distribution strategies.
