Proszę przeczytać i przetłumaczyć podany tekst, następnie wykonać
ćwiczenia.
Today, efficient logistics and transportation system are
important prerequisites of the development of any economy.
In modern competitive environment, it is not enough to offer
a product that meet customers’ requirements. The way of its delivery
is also very important. The art and science of delivering goods with
speed and precision can help businesses operate more efficiently,
lower costs and gain new customers.
Logistics has evolved throughout centuries to become an
integral part of every business. Logistics has been performed since
the beginning of civilization. Raw materials and finished products
had always to be moved, though on a small scale. Gradually, people
began moving from rural to urban areas; the geographical distance
between the point of production and the point of consumption
increased considerably.
There was a time when companies used to develop a product
range, plan their distribution channels, schedule marketing
campaigns and deliver the finished product to their retailers
themselves. However, since the early 1990’s logistics operations
have become much more complex. The global logistics market has
grown radically over the years.
The major benefits of efficient logistics operations can be
summarized as follows:
• Cost savings by centralizing inventory management.
• Faster order fulfilment by relying on a global transportation
network.
• Improved cash flow.
• Flexibility to change distribution patterns for new products
based on ever-changing customer demands.
The main customer groups (market segments) served by
the logistics industry are the following:
• Parcel and documents express delivery services.
• Freight by air, ocean, road or rail.
• Warehousing and distribution.
• Supply chain solutions.
Logistics is one of the spheres, which still have potential as
far as improving performance is concerned. There are large unused
capacities in logistics processes in terms of costs reduction and
quality of service.
