ADKINS SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION

Shipping and transportation of resources and finished goods makes up 4 out of the 11 steps in the sample flowchart provided (steps 4, 6, 8, and 10). The shipping process is a very important step in getting goods to the shelf for us to buy. If there were no large domestic and international shipping networks, we would never be able to purchase and experience the goods we have today. We would be stuck with only what could be made locally from our natural resources. You should trace what type of transportation (train, plane, truck, boat, etc) was used to ship the products to the next step in the flow chart. Identify the ports involved, the trucking terminals, etc. In our pulley example, the iron ore it is made from can be shipped by train to the manufacturing plant and then the finished pulleys are trucked to their distributors. Contact the respective shipping companies and inquire about the internal operating procedures used in organizing and consolidating cargo shipments from one point..
