The research topic chosen in this research is importance of
innovative alternatives to parcel carrier services in supply chain
and logistics organisations. A case study of Terra Logistics.
Introduction
Supply chain performance can be greatly influenced by innovation. In recent decades, the
overall productivity of logistics providers has been based on the widespread use of
computers, with software with embedded algorithms laying the groundwork for optimising
and automating the delivery company process. Future tech innovations such as the Iot., big
data analytics, Data center space but rather services, and so-called IT self-learning 12 systems
are being actively used by the courier industry. The utilisation of delivery services is affected
to some extent by the adoption of these technologies. They are at the heart of digitising the
logistics operational processes and ushering in a whole new level of customer-provider
interaction. Here are five features of the supply network that can be improved to meet the
needs of consumers while also saving money: Manufacturing Design: Create the product that
it is simple to manufacture, lowering costs of production. Design for Assembly: Reduce the
amount of components in the product to make assembly easier. This frequently leads to the
creation of easier-to-assemble subsystems. Design for Product Service life: Make the product
as simple to assemble, disassemble, and reuse as possible. When compared to products
assembled with larger components, which make individual parts more difficult to obtain,
these products are often easier to repair.
Design for Six Sigma: Create a product that eliminates errors, increases uniformity, and
lowers costs. For example, an appliance manufacturer may choose to use a single type of
light cord throughout its goods rather than a dozen different types.

3

customer service is unwavering. Import and export by air, seafloor re - export, and ground
transportation have all been options.
Background of the research
Customers - including private individuals - can now book and use courier services more
easily. Senders and recipients can also track the progress of their packages in real time thanks
to web communications technology. The rising cost of transportation is one cloud on the
horizon that is likely to continue to influence the courier industry. Fuel prices continue to rise
well ahead of inflation each year, and 'pay as you drive' road pricing appears to be becoming
more and more likely on major highways in the future. According to government statistics,
the number of companies engaged in courier services has increased in recent years. This
indicates that there is a strong demand for courier services, but it also means that you will be
up against stiff competition.
State the aim
The aim of this study is to analyse the importance of innovative alternatives to parcel carrier
services in supply chain and logistics organisations
State Objectives of the research
• To understand need of innovative delivery in supply chain and logistics
organisations
• To evaluate impact upon marketing effectiveness due to innovative delivery
• To recommend ways for initiating innovative delivery alternative within logistics
and supply chain organisations.
Outline the research questions
• Explain need of innovative delivery in supply chain and logistics organisations
• What is the impact upon marketing effectiveness due to innovative delivery in
supply chain organisations?
• Recommend ways for initiating innovative delivery alternative within logistics
and supply chain organisations.
