III.Listen to the interview, and answer to the following questions：TapescriptProf. GARY GEREFFI: Wal-Mart, as an efficiency machine, has just done better than any other U.S. retailer, or perhaps any other U.S. company in history.HEDRICK SMITH: With other mass retail chains, like Target and K-Mart,Wal-Mart generated a revolution in how goods are produced, a shift from what's called "push production" to "pull production."Prof. EDNA BONACICH, U.C. Riverside: The push system involved manufacturers deciding what they're going to produce and then trying to get retailers to buy it and sell it for them. The pull system involves retailers deciding what is being sold, collecting information on what is being sold, and then telling manufacturers what to produce and when to produce it based on what is actually being sold.HEDRICK SMITH: Wal-Mart's pull is so powerful that here in Bentonville, manufacturers have set up satellite sales offices. In what's now known as Vendorville, I found a Who's Who of Wal-Mart vendors. In one corporate office park, I found a sock manufacturer, Kentucky Derby Hosiery. Its CEO is Bill Nichol.BILL NICHOL, CEO, Kentucky Derby Hosiery: Yes. If you want to sellWal-Mart, you know, you need to come to Bentonville. It's been that way for a long time. I don't see that that's going to change. So people who travel a lot found it maybe more convenient just to have an office here, that they were continuously coming to Bentonville, so a lot of them just moved here, or at least opened an office here. HEDRICK SMITH: The suppliers come in droves, hungry for big contracts. They get herded into little rooms for bargaining sessions with Wal-Mart buyers.BILL NICHOL: They force all of us, by really good business discipline, to be sure we're paying attention at all times to what their customers want to buy. It serves the purpose of saying, "This is what they want, and they want to buy it at this price." Therefore, that's what we'd better be doing, our little company.HEDRICK SMITH: The focus is on what matters most to Wal-Mart: prices.JON LEHMAN, Former Wal-Mart Store Manager: Well, it's very one-sided. There is no negotiation. There's not much negotiation at all. The manufacturer walks into the room. I've been in these little cubicles, I've seen it happen. The buyer says, "Look, we want you to sell it to us for 5 percent on a dollar – at cost – lower this year than you did last year."They know every fact and figure that these manufacturers have. They know their books. They know their costs. They know their business practices– everything, you know? So what's a manufacturer left to do? They sit naked in front of Wal-Mart. You know, Wal-Mart calls the shots. "If you want to do business with us, if you want tostay in business, then you're going to do it our way." And it's all about driving down the cost of goods.Prof. NELSON LICHTENSTEIN: The power of Wal-Mart is such, it's reversed a 100-year history in which the manufacturer was powerful and the retailer was sort of the vassal. It's changed that. It turned that around entirely. Now the retailer, the mass global retailer, is at the center. That's the power. And the manufacturer becomes the serf, the vassal, the underling who has to do the bidding of the retailer. That's a new thing.第2课I Phrases translation供应链战略supply chain strategy 多供应商战略many suppliers strategy 少数供应商战略few suppliers strategy 纵向整合战略vertical integration企业集团keiretsu networks 虚拟企业virtual company前向整合forward integration 后向整合backward integration 规模经济economy of scale成本降低cost reductionII Fill in the blank and put the sentence into Chinese1、demands, specifications, low bidder, supplier在多供应商战略中，各供应商对采购方的报价要求中的需求和规格做出回应，订单往往是为报价较低者所获得。

Listen to the conversation and answer the question or complete the sentencesTapescriptHEDRICK SMITH: As the world's largest company, Wal-Mart has tremendous power and influence. It is now the model not just for retailing but for companies all across the corporate landscape.Prof. NELSON LICHTENSTEIN, U.C. Santa Barbara: In the 19th century, it was the Pennsylvania Railroad, which called itself the standard of the world. Early 20th century, it might have been U.S. Steel. General Motors, of course, in the mid-20th century. But clearly, Wal-Mart today is setting a sort of a– a new standard that other firms have to follow if they hope to compete. And more than just other firms, it's setting standards for the nation as a whole.HEDRICK SMITH: By figuring out how to exploit two powerful forces that converged in the '90s, the rise of information technology and the explosion of the global economy, Wal-Mart has changed the balance of power in the world of business.Prof. GARY GEREFFI, Duke University: It used to be that manufacturers – big multi-national manufacturers – had the most power, companies like General Motors and General Electric. Today, I think that global retailers actually have become the most powerful companies in the global economy.HEDRICK SMITH: To understand Wal-Mart and how a company with such humble roots has managed to build a global empire, I headed for Bentonville, Arkansas. It's an overgrown crossroads town tucked into the Bible and barbecue belt of northwest Arkansas. Here, in the heart of the old town, sits the five-and-dime store that Sam Walton opened in 1950. A few blocks away I found the Wal-Mart of today, theWal-Mart we've come to know as consumers, a cornucopia of thousands of different items all under one roof, the epitome of one-stop shopping. Every week, Wal-Mart says, 100 million American shoppers stream into its 3,400 storesSHOPPER: It's very convenient for me to be able to get a one-stop shop. SHOPPER: I know I don't have to look and see where I can save the most money. I know when I come in here, I can save money.SHOPPER: Good prices, good quality of stuff.SHOPPER: I'm sort of thinking of having my Social Security check deposited directly to wal-Mart since I buy everything at Wal-Mart.BOB McADAM, VP, Wal-Mart Gov't Relations: What makes Wal-Mart successful, what keeps us motivated and what really challenges us every day, whether it was from the day one when Wal-Mart began or till today, I think it's the same, that we really strive in everything we do to keep our costs as low as possible, so that we can provide the customer a value and still make a reasonable profit for our company.HEDRICK SMITH: That was Sam Walton's formula: Buy cheap, sell for less than the other guy, and make your profit on high volume and fast turnover. Sounds simple, but this supercenter is a world away from Sam's five-and-dime. How do they keep track of it all? How do they know what to stock? How do they keep prices so low?第2课I Phrases translation物流成本logistics cost销售损失lost sale退货处理成本costs of return goods handling 潜在的销售potential future sale运输成本transportation cost进货渠道inbound channel出货渠道outbound channel订单处理成本order processing cost需求预测demanding forecasting销售沟通distribution communication 电子数据交换系统electronic data interchange 卫星数据传输satellite data transmission 条码bar coding内部成本internal cost外部成本external cost订单传输order transmittal订单输入order entry批量成本lot quantity cost缺货stockout库存持有成本inventory carry cost 资金成本capital cost仓储空间成本storage space cost 风险成本risk costII Fill in the blank and put the sentence into Chinese1、order fulfillment客户服务成本是指用来支持客户服务的费用，包括订单执行、零配件和服务支持成本。

The main types of transport documents are shipper’s letter of instruction, booking note, shipping order, mat e’s receipt, dock receipt, container load plan, bill of lading, delivery order, equipment interchange receipt, sea waybill, air waybill, railway bill, road waybill, cargo manifest, forwarders’ certificate of receipt, forwarders’ certificate of transport, etc.2. The main types of shipping documents are booking note, shipping order, stowage plan, tally sheet, mate’s receipt, cargo manifest, freight manifest, outturn report, bill of lading, and delivery order, etc.3. The circulation of the relevant shipping documents is as follows:(1) The shipper (or consignor) makes an application to a shipping company or its agent for the shipment of goods by filling in a booking note (B/N).(2) After the acceptance of the booking note, the shipping company issues a shipping order (S/O) to the shipper, advising him of when and where to deliver the goods alongside the named ship.(3) The shipper, on the strength of the S/O, goes through the customs declaration formalities for outward goods and gets the goods ready for shipment.(4) The agent prepares a loading list for the ship according to the S/O.(5) The chief officer works out a stowage plan. A number of copies are sent to thetally company and stevedoring company through the agent for the arrangement of loading and discharge.(6) The chief tallyman checks all goods loaded on board against the tally sheets and signs the S/O.(7) The chief officer, by reference to the tally, endorses the S/O, which then automatically becomes the mate’s receipt (M/R) to be issued to the shipper after loading.(8) After paying for the freight (prepaid), the shipper turns over the M/R to the shipping company or agent in exchange for the bill of lading.(9) The shipper sends the B/L and other relevant documents to the bank for negotiation of payment.(10) The agent makes out for the ship a suitable number of copies of the export manifest (M/F) and freight manifest (F/M), which are required by the customs at the local port as well as other ports of call.(11) The consignee secures the B/L from the bank by effecting the payment for goods.(12) The consignee presents the B/L to the shipping company or agent in exchange for the delivery order (D/O), by which he takes delivery of goods at the warehouse.4.

Bill of lading is a transport document issued by the carrier or its agent to the shipper admitting that goods have been received for shipment to a particular destination and stating the terms on which the goods are to be carried.3. bill of lading functions as a receipt of goods by the carrier evidencing receipt of the goods from the consignor, evidence of a contract of carriage between the shipper and the carrier containing the conditions on which transport is made, and a document of title to the goods in the sense that the lawful holder/owner of the B/L is the lawful owner of the goods and the carrier will only release the goods at the stipulated port of destination against the presentation of the original B/L.4. Fifteen types of marine B/L are mentioned in this part. They can be classified into the following categories in accordance with different criteria.(1) In terms of whether or not the goods are on boardShipped B/L (or On Board B/L) is issued by the carrier or its agent when all the goods are loaded on board the ship, and must bear the name of the ship and the date of shipment.Received for Shipment B/L is issued by the carrier or its agent when the goods are under his control before loaded on board the ship. The importer does not favor it, and usually the L/C will require the exporter to present shipped B/L for negotiation at the bank. However, with the development of container transport, received for shipment Bs/L are being increasingly applied.(2) On the basis of the apparent condition of goods notedW hen the shipping company writes on the B/L “The goods loaded are in apparent good order”, this B/L is a Clean B/L or an Unclaused B/L.When the shipping line gives such an indication as “The goods loaded are not in apparent good order” or “The packing is broken or … is polluted, etc.”, this B/L is a n Unclean B/L or a foul B/L or a claused B/L, and non-negotiable at the bank.(3) In the light of different characteristics of consigneesStraight B/L has a specified name in the column of consignee, which means that the goods can only be received by the specified person and the B/L cannot be transferred to a third person.Order B/L does not have a specified name but the phraseology of “To orde r”, or “To the order of …” in the column of consignee. This kind of B/L can be transferred to others by endorsement, thus called negotiable B/L, and widely used in international trade.Open B/L has neither the consignee’s name nor the phraseology of “To order” fill in the column of consignee. This type of B/L is also called negotiable B/L, and can be negotiable without endorsement, and ownership of the goods passes when the B/L is handed over to anyone. Owing to the exceedingly high risk involved, this B/L is rarely used.(4) In accordance with modes of transportUnder Direct B/L, the goods will be directly carried to the port of destination without transshipment. Under Transshipment B/L, the goods will be transshipped in transit.Through B/L is a development of these two Bs/L. Under Through B/L, the goods will at least be carried by two different modes of transport as sea-land or land-sea and taken charge of by different carriers during transport before arriving at the port of destination. A multimodal transport operator responsible for the whole voyage issues Combined Transport B/L, involving two or more different kinds of transport. This kind of B/L is usually used in container transport and may be a Received for Shipment B/L, but a Through B/L must be a Clean Shipped B/L.(5) In conformity with the detailed or simplified clausesLong Form B/L has detailed clauses printed on its back concerning the transport of goods so as to solve any possible transport disputes, while short Form B/L does not have such clauses on its back.(6) In compliance with the types of vesselLiner B/L is issued by the carrier when the goods are shipped on a regular liner vessel with scheduled route and reserved berth at destination, while charter party B/L is issued by a charterer of a ship to the exporter.5. Straight B/L has a specified name in the column of consignee, which means that the goods can only be received by the specified person and the B/L cannot be transferred to a third person. So it is also called non-negotiable B/L, and thus it is not commonly used in international trade and normally applies to high-value shipments or goods for special purposes.V. Make out the B/L according to the L/C given below略第3课 TRANSPORT DOCUMENTS (3)I. Translate the following Chinese terms into Englishmultimodal transport consignment note multimodal transport contract express delivery service courier receipt dock receipt multimodal transport document take delivery of goods port authority document for clearance Atlantic route short trafficsII. Translate the following English terms into Chinese航空运输克尽职责货运指示用于清关的源单据邮政特快专递服务敦豪速递公司联邦快递联合包裹服务公司铁路运单《国际公路货物运输公约》《国际铁路货物运输公约》III. Challenging questions for discussion1. The air waybill is approximately equivalent to the sea freight B/L, but it is not a document of title to goods or a negotiable instrument in the same way as is an ocean B/Lbecause the cargo would arrive at the destination airport days or sometimes weeks before the air waybill’s arrival via the banking system. Therefore, the consignee is allowed to take delivery of the goods before receiving the air waybill.2. A multimodal transport document evidences the contract of carriage of goods by at least two modes of transport, such as shipping by rail and by sea, issued by a multimodal transport operator under a multimodal transport contract.3. The difference between an MTD and a through B/L is as follows: Through B/L used for ocean transport always covers sea transport together with any other modes of transport, but multimodal transport document(MTD) may be applied to any kind of combined transport，not necessary connected with sea transport. This document can be either negotiable or non-negotiable, and usually non-negotiable.4. The function of a dock receipt is used to transfer responsibility when the export goods is moved by the domestic carrier to the port of shipment and left with the international carrier for movement to its final destination.IV. Be familiar with each column of the transport documents given below 略。

Read this articles about the logistics information system. Are this statements true(T) or false(F)?Increasingly, it seems that successful companies have one thing in common—their use of information and information technology (IT) to achieve quick response. Information systems are re-shaping the organization and also the nature of the linkages between organizations. Information has always been central to the efficient management of logistics but now, enabled by technology, it is providing the driving force for competitive logistics strategy.We are now starting to see the emergence of integrated logistics system that link the operations of the business, such as production and distribution, with the supplier’s operations on the one hand and the customer on the other. These systems are often referred to generically as Enterprise Planning Systems or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Already it is the case that companies can literally link the replenishment of product in the marketplace with their upstream operations and those of their suppliers through the use of shared information. The use of these systems has the potential to convert supply chains into demand chains in the sense that the system can now respond to known demand rather than having to anticipate that demand through a forecast.1.
