Question

In the logistics-systems design matrix, volume, cost and speed of delivery are three variables (assume three levels: low, moderate or high) used to describe attributes of transportation modes. Rail is associated with____________

Answer 1

Answer:

High volume

Low cost

Moderate speed of delivery.

Explanation:

High - volume : The train can a large volume of goods at a single time as high number of coaches can be added to the train.

Low - cost : As the volume of goods carried in a single time by train is very large therefore the cost of transportation reduces to lowest than other means like air logistics.

Moderate speed of delivery : The speed of logistic delivery from one part to another part is comparatively lower than the air logistics transport system but is more than the road  logistics transport system in terms of long distance like in different states.
