Critically evaluate how port operators, shipping lines and freight forwarders can have impact on this new era of the consumer – driven global supply chain through container logistics, environmental concern and JIT supply

Students are expected to answer both tasks below by assuming the position of a Global Supply Chain Advisor. The answer to each task must be presented under a separate heading, but in one single academic report. This report includes a front page and an executive summary at the beginning. Students are required to answer all tasks, as each task has a separate word count and marking share. The front page of the report must include the ID number, the programme name, the module name, the module code, the module tutor and the word count per task. Task 1 (Max 1000 Words) (40% Mark)

Critically evaluate how port operators, shipping lines and freight forwarders can have impact on this new era of the consumer – driven global supply chain through container logistics, environmental concern and JIT supply.

– 10% of the marks are assigned to the presentation of the assignment and also to referencing (references must be a minimum of 30 from good quality journal articles and books). It is strongly advised to use references appropriately in the text by using them where required. Also consider that some references may be used more than once in the text. Therefore, it is not just the matter of the quantity, it is also the matter of the quality of the references that are used and how you used them).

– 10% of the marks are assigned to the executive summary (Max 500 words).
This is about an overall understanding about both tasks. The integration of the three tasks in the summary is important. You are required to have a very good understanding of all of the questions to link them together in your summary.
