Appendix Three: Text Example

Question 3 [15p]
Your family runs a clothing shop in a shopping center, it was quite promising. However, recently due
to high cost of leasing and economic recession, the margin is much less than expected. Therefore
you want to transform your family business to an online shop.

Considering that you need to transform traditional logistics to e-logistics, what will the differences
be? Give at least 3 and give argumentation. (3p each)

RBS June 2016 Module description IBLLOG03R3 – 2016-2017 – p.8

Appendix Four: Answering model/Score Form

Question 3 [15p] - Chapter 2: Logistics, Bowersox

Answer:
1. Stocks: stock control as part of e-business is maybe even more critical than stock control in a
traditional environment, because the customer has less alternatives (than in a shop) and
therefore a quick delivery is very important.
2. Warehousing: only for a sufficient critical mass in a traditional environment it is worth investing
in fully automated or robotized order-picking systems that are able to pick by the name of the
final user. E-business results in the customer order uncoupling point (CODP) shifting upstream
strongly. This results in large amounts of small orders. In this case investments in fully
automated picking systems are not always worth investing.
3. Transport: in a traditional environment, flows are bulkier and goods are delivered directly to the
customer. E-business has made the logistic flows between trade and industry thinner and
thinner, but more high-frequent. Direct distribution is becoming less rewarding. This problem
occurs more strongly in e-business toward consumers and industrial buyers. Logistic
collaboration between suppliers is considered a good solution by manufacturers as well as
retailers for condensing logistic flows
4. Lead time
5. Reverse logistics/return policy

Mentioned any 3 of above + argumentation, 4points each. 3point for bonus if all
are good.
