What is Logistics?
Logistics is the . . . process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.

Bonded Warehouse
In accordance with the limitations and authorities defined by laws of customs, bonded warehouse stores merchandise, not subject to free circulation, under internationally acclaimed standards prior to nationalization. Operations in the warehouse may include assembly, manipulation or storage but usually not manufacturing.
Cross Docking
a logistics activity that attempts to reduce costs and total lead time. breaks down received items on the loading dock and immediately matches them with outgoing shipment requirements, instead of stocking the items in warehouse locations and returning to pick for orders at a later time.
Cross Docking
eliminates the need to place inventory in storage. This can mean moving pallets across the docking areas (hence the name) for loading onto delivery vehicles.
Cross Docking
Crossdocking essentially eliminates the inventory-holding function of a warehouse while still allowing it to serve its consolidation and shipping functions. The idea is to transfer incoming shipments directly to outgoing trailers without storing them in between.
Cross Docking
In a traditional warehouse, goods are received from vendors and stored in devices like pallet racks or shelving. When a customer (e.g., the consumer or perhaps a retail outlet) requests an item, workers pick it from the shelves and send it to the destination.
Cross Docking
In a crossdock, goods arriving from the vendor already have a customer assigned, so workers need only move the shipment from the inbound trailer to an outbound trailer bound for the appropriate destination. The already part should make you think of information system requirements--a chief obstacle to implementing crossdocking successfully.
Cross Docking(classification)
One way to classify crossdocking operations is according to when the customer is assigned to an individual pallet or product. In pre-distribution crossdocking, the customer is assigned before the shipment leaves the vendor, so it arrives to the crossdock bagged and tagged for transfer. In post-distribution crossdocking, the crossdock itself allocates material to its stores.
Cross Docking(classification)
Pre-distribution is definitely more difficult to implement because the vendors of the crossdock must know which customers of the crossdock need what before they send the shipment. This involves quite a bit of information transfer, system integration, and coordination. For a distributor with hundreds of vendors, the problem is big, big, big!

What is Ro-Ro?
Roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ships are designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trailers or railway carriages. This is in contrast to lo-lo (lift on-lift off) vessels which use a crane to load and unload cargo.
What is Ro-Ro?
RORO vessels have built-in ramps which allow the cargo to be efficiently "rolled on" and "rolled off" the vessel when in port. While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances still often have built-in ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for larger ocean-going vessels.
