Description of The Critical Audiences
You are completing your project planning activities for the project you have been assigned to manage. The remaining component is the communication plan that you need to present to your project sponsor at the end of the week. Using the library, determine the necessary components of an effective project communication plan. Then go to the Discussion Board and post a 2-paragraph description of the critical audiences that must be included in your communication plan. Next, choose 3 of those audiences, and answer the following questions for each audience:
What information must be shared with this audience?
What is the mechanism you will use for each type of information?
What is the frequency with which you must share information?
What will you do if the communications are not proving to be effective?
What technology will you use for your communication?
At what point could communication about the project become an ethical or legal issue?
integrated approach to logistics and distribution management
Probably one of the main reasons why the adoption of an integrated approach to logistics and distribution management has proved so difficult for many companies is the lack of appropriate cost information. The need to manage the total distribu- tion activity as a complete system, having regard for the effects of decisions taken in one cost area upon other cost areas, has implications for the cost accounting systems of the organisation. Typically, conventional accounting systems group costs into broad, aggregated categories which do not then allow the more detailed analysis necessary to identify the true costs of servicing customers buying particu- lar product mixes. Without this facility to analyse aggregated cost data, it becomes impossible to reveal the potential for cost trade-offs that may exist within the logis- tics system. Generally the effects of trade-offs are assessed in two ways: from the point of view of their impact on total costs and their impact on sales revenue. For example, it may be possible to trade off costs in such a way that total costs increase, yet because of the better service now being offered, sales revenue also increases. If the difference between revenue and costs is greater than before, the trade-off may be regarded as leading to an improvement in cost effectiveness. However, without an adequate logistics-oriented cost accounting system it is extremely difficult to identify the extent to which a particular trade-off is cost-beneficial.
The concept of total cost analysis
Many problems at the operational level in logistics management arise because all the impacts of specific decisions, both direct and indirect, are not taken into account throughout the corporate system. Too often decisions taken in one area can lead to unforeseen results in other areas. Changes in policy on minimum order value, for example, may influence customer ordering patterns and lead to additional costs. Similarly, changes in production schedules that aim to improve production efficiency may lead to fluctuations in finished stock availability and thus affect customer service. The problems associated with identifying the total system impact of distri- bution policies are immense. By its very nature logistics cuts across traditional company organisation functions with cost impacts on most of those functions. Conventional accounting systems do not usually assist in the identification of these company-wide impacts, frequently absorbing logistics-related costs in other cost elements. The cost of processing orders, for example, is an amalgam of specific costs incurred in different functional areas of the business which generally prove extremely difficult to bring together. Figure 3.6 outlines the various cost elements
Because logistics management is a flow-oriented concept with the objective
of integrating resources across a pipeline which extends from suppliers
to final customers, it is desirable to have a means whereby costs and
performance of that pipeline flow can be assessed.
