Question

The air cargo system consists of everything related to air cargo and the air cargo industry: aircraft, aircraft roller and locking systems, terminals, ground handling equipment, personnel, documentation, and regulations. You are to analyze a surface cargo system. Please consider the other four modes of transportation.

Note: Please number and state each requirement and give each answer its own separate paragraph(s).

1. Provide a brief synopsis of the Surface Cargo System you picked.

2. Compare the Air Cargo System components to your Surface Cargo System components.

3.Describe in detail similar components and different components.

4. Consider the management concerns of incorporating intermodal operations between the two systems.

Answer 1

1-

Railroad transport is a type of surface cargo system. Railway transportation has been used very widely in an environment to decrease the overall cost of logistics and increasing the adaptability of the specific system with the organisation to provide adequate level of support to the operational capabilities. This type of approach does not only enables an organisation to provide extensive level of support to its business operations but also increases its adaptability in the respective region by providing extensive support to availability of opportunities by delivering great value for money..

This type of system is used for carrying heavy load across long distances at a cost effective manner. This type of cargo system enables organisations to reduce the overall cost in Logistic systems and to increase their adaptability by reaching extensive level of land and increase their transportation reach.

2-

Air cargo systems have an availability of transporting goods Overseas which is a great advantage of system over rail road transport system. Delhi transport systems provide extensive level of load carrying capacity where air cargo systems have limited availability of carrying load. Reach of rail road transportation system is totally dependent on the level of rain roads but air cargo systems are usually operating at International levels which is very beneficial in terms of having extensive reach over different regions. Overall cost in operation for air cargo system is extensively huge as compared to the railroad systems which incorporates less carrying cost as compared to the railway Transportation system.

3-

Availability of material for transportation logistics usually come from the same sources. E-commerce heavily used both of the transportation systems for getting their supplies. Both of the systems are highly efficient as they carry huge load across extensive level of distances and reduce the overall burden on the organisation by providing adequate level of service support.

4-

Intermodal operations are heavily compatible with railroad system but as the containers used in transportation regarding airline industry art design for aircrafts, possibility of intermodal transportation is relatively very tough. This type of implementation of intermodal transportation capability directly increases the adaptability of railroad transportation in the respective environment and provide adequate level of support to its overall organisational structure.
