MODE : Air | RATING: 3
Parameters Ratings Reasons
reach of air is quite good but when it comes to the
3 small towns or cities the contains might affect the
Reach mode of transportations. It is good for big cities
where airports are well-built but not those interiors
where there is a lack of infrastructure.
the availability of air is not there in every cities or
AVAILABILITY 3 towns, where the infrastructure supports this mode
of transport it is good there but again due to high
cost many opt out from such services.
RELIABILITY 1 reliability in transporting the product is high in this
case with less number of damages and manhandling.
flexibility through air is not up to the mark. When a
flight is scheduled it follows certain coordinates to
FLEXIBILITY TO 4 reach the destination it may happen that there might
CHANGE THE ROUTE be trouble in the destination changing the route for
the air mode of transport is not that fast. Even the
landing is also a factor which may or may not be
granted by the neighboring airport.
FIXED COST (COST

MODE OF
TRANSPORT OR
REACHING THE 5 the cost in the air mode of transport is very high in
PLACE WHERETHE this case.
MODE OF

AVAILABLE.)
VARIABLE COST 4 the variable cost is also high in this mode of transport.
DOCUMENTATION 3 in air mode of transportation, the documentation is quite
CONVENIENCE high as it goes through a lot of checking and cross-
checking procedures.
SUITABILITY FOR 1 transportation through this mode is very much suitable as
PRODUCT there is minimal chances of getting damaged
TRAVELLING TIME 1 through air the travelling time is also minimum, and the
product can reach the destination at a quick time.
OPERATIONAL 3 it is not that convenient or that hard to operate and it
CONVENIENCE takes less people to supervise the whole operation from
place of origin to place of destination.
MODE : WATER | RATING: 4
Parameters Ratings Reasons
the transport through water takes a lot of time and for the
4 land locked countries access to water ways are difficult.
Reach Moreover, inland water ways trading is now obsolete due
to irregularity in the river flows.
the availability is also a question when it comes to water
AVAILABILITY 4 ways as it is not always available and not everywhere. For
example, places like Saudi Arabia water ways is next to
impossible.
RELIABILITY 3 well though transport through waterways are free from
traffic and all but cyclones in the oceans can also cost a bit
damage to the products that are being transported.

FLEXIBILITY TO 3 well the ships do travel following a coordinate through

VARIABLE COST 4 variable cost is also not that much when it comes to water
transport. Cost related to loading and unloading is what is
incurred.
DOCUMENTATION 3 when goods approach the ports bill of lading is required
CONVENIENCE for the clearance and the papers are duly singed which can
facilitate for the free and fast movement of the goods.
SUITABILITY FOR 3 water ways is quite suitable for sending a large amount of
PRODUCT products but at the same time the damages that is
incurred are also minimum and only during the time of
loading/unloading.
TRAVELLING TIME 5 travelling through water ways is very time-consuming. For
the company which are situated closed to the port can get
the product quite faster compared to those who are
 situated bit far from the cost areas.
OPERATIONAL 4 a lot of people are required in the loading and unloading
CONVENIENCE of the products that have reached the port.

MODE :RAIL |RATING : 2

Parameters Ratings Reasons
this type of transport is which is available in almost all the
2 parts of the country. Special tracks are laid for the heavy
Reach industry where the mode of transport solely depends on
railways.
almost everywhere this part is available and easily
AVAILABILITY 1 accessible at low cost.

RELIABILITY 3 goods transported are safe but sometimes do mishandling

happen which may damage the product.

FLEXIBILITY TO 4 once a route is taken like from Mumbai to Pune change of

CHANGE THE ROUTE tracks is not possible but an alternative route can be
designed but at that point instantly it is not possible.

FIXED COST (COST

FOR CREATING THE
MODE OF
TRANSPORT OR
REACHING THE 2 the cost of the transport by rail is low as only the freight
PLACE WHERETHE charges are what requires
MODE OF
TRANSPORT IS
AVAILABLE.)
VARIABLE COST 2 again at very less cost the goods can be sent to and forth.
DOCUMENTATION 3 dispatch of the goods is not that problematic unless there
CONVENIENCE is trouble and troubleshooting becomes a problem
SUITABILITY FOR in transit many at times it has being reported that the
PRODUCT 4 product got destroyed and also negligence on the part of
the personnel is also responsible for such act.
TRAVELLING TIME 3 the time also vary from place to place as rail takes time to
 travel
OPERATIONAL it’s easy to operate as since the supplier can send the
CONVENIENCE 2 goods to the customers and the customer can arrange for
himself his own transportation to carry the goods.

Parameters Ratings Reasons

5 Reach is very bad in pipeline because it can transport only
Reach where pipeline infrastructure is good enough.

AVAILABILITY 5 Availability is also not good because it is not available

everywhere.
RELIABILITY 3 More or less, it is reliable mode.

FLEXIBILITY TO 5 route cannot be changed it has to flow through the

CHANGE THE ROUTE pipeline only.

FIXED COST (COST

MODE OF
TRANSPORT OR
REACHING THE 2 Fixed cost is not much in pipeline.

VARIABLE COST 1 Variable cost is also not much more.
DOCUMENTATION
CONVENIENCE 1 Much documentation is not required.
SUITABILITY FOR Suitability of product is very bad because it is usually made
PRODUCT 5 to transport water, natural gas , petrol etc.
TRAVELLING TIME 3 Travelling time is not very bad and not very good at the
same time
OPERATIONAL Operational convenience is good. It is convenient to
CONVENIENCE 2 operate pipeline.

OPERATIONAL only the driver and one helper can be suitable for loading
