Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing three primary questions that must be answered before being able to arrive at a workable supply chain in terms of global transport of materials. The questions are: what types of goods are being moved; how quickly each shipment is needed; and what types of infrastructure exists in remote locations throughout the world. Each of these can directly affect results. The paper discusses RFID tags to conclude that continued technical developments will better enable supply chain managers to orchestrate physical movement of goods relative to the three major questions that must be considered with every product class. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

until goods in their final form reach the ultimate end user. "Logistics" formerly was that area of the organization to which underperforming individuals were sent rather than being terminated.
They arranged through excruciatingly slow methods the transport and receipt of the organizations goods at various stages of the supply chain. Goods physically moved in much the same
ways they do today, but the methods of arranging that movement have changed dramatically in the early years of the new century. Supply chain applications in e-business certainly were
not unknown prior to 2000, but it has been only after that time that the "new" approach of managing the supply chain in the electronic environment has come to be
viewed as the standard approach to moving goods from one place to another along any specific organizations supply chain (Swaminathan and Tayur, 2003).
Three primary questions that must be answered before being able to arrive at a workable supply chain in terms of transport of materials include what types of goods are being
moved; how quickly each shipment is needed; and what types of infrastructure exists in remote locations throughout the world. Each of these can directly affect results. Direct Questions Types
of Goods Perishable items or goods containing elements that global transporters (such as airlines) can see as being hazardous obviously cannot be transported
by any available means. Refrigerated transport can be difficult in some areas of the world; other items including some electronic components or batteries can be difficult to transport in
