1.7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
activities of freighting function in industry among the industry are
the same throughout the country. They have problems and objective
exception policies and management style which are at individual
discretion. Since, the project explores how the needs for the impact of
containerization in international purchasing improve the level of
productivity in the organization. However, there are a lot of industries
in reigned and as a result it will be extremely difficult and
impossible for the researcher to study all of them considering the time
space given. I decided to use the top company above to enable me carry
on in depth study of the organization.
1.8 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The limitation of the study includes
i. Inadequate financial and material resources with which to carry out such an elaborate product.
ii. Inability of the product ie those interviewed to give the relevant information on variable under study.
iii. Insufficient time. Since the researcher still had to attend lectures for the competion of this course works.
iv. Natural factor, natural factors like rainfall, sun hampered the researcher’s movement in bid to collect data/information.
v. Unsteady power supply by the power holding company in which questionnaire and respond.
1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS
CONTAINERISATION:
Is an advancement of the concept of unit load. A container in a box
with steel framework, a strong floor base, paneled sides and a roof.
Containers can equally be classified according to their sizes we have
the (ISO) that is the International Standard Organization. Standard
Container of 8x8ff. Containers vary with respect to length. The length
are 10ft, 20ft and 40ft are used to suit a particular need.
THE
DISTRIBUTION PROCESS: Begin when a supplier receives an order from a
customer. The customer is not too concerned with the design of the
suppliers distributing system, nor in any supply problems.
ORDER
PROCESSING: This is the first in logical process. The efficiency of
order processing has a direct effect on lead time. Orders are received
from the sales team through the sales department. Many companies
establish regular supply performs satisfactorily very often contracts
are drawn up and repeat orders forming part of the initial contract are
made at regular interval during the contract period.
INVENTORY: If is
a critical area of international purchasing) because stock levels have a
direct effect on levels of services and customer satisfaction. The
optimum stock level in a function of the type of market in which the
company operates, few companies can say that they never run out of
stock, but if stock outs happens regularly, their market share will be
lost to more efficient competitors. Techniques for determining optimum
stock levels are illustrated later in this chapter, the key lies in
ascertaining the re-order point.
WAREHOUSING: International marketing
texts pays more attention to warehousing than do local once. This is
mainly because of the relatively longer distance involved in
distributing internationally, where it can sometimes days, weeks, month
to get to customers. The logistics’ of warehouse can therefore be
corresponding more complicated. However, the principles remains the same
and indeed the European Union should be viewed as a large home market,
currently, many companies function adequately with their own on-site
warehouse from where goods are dispatched direct to customers.
