warehousing of raw materials of working technique in stock and moreover the finished items are
traded from the place of creation to the point of usage and this system is known as logistics and
supply chain management (Schorsch, Wallenburg and Wieland, 2017). The prime goal of the

Main problems with current logistics network in NSW
Logistics comprises displacement of goods and products from one place to another (from the
place of manufacturing to the required destination). This entire mechanism is based on the needs
of customers or consumers (Jabbour et al., 2017). The process consists of transportation of all
types of goods like all the food items, beverages, household products and animals. Such tasks
require two things; a feasible plan and its proper execution. In order to plan the entire process
one must have control over the complete procedure and also the auto tracking of the journey. It
becomes the duty of the company to transport the goods at their destination safely without any
damage. So in order to achieve this, they have to put an effort to train their staff and let them
have the information of the entire process like transportation. Logistic management is not an
easy task, and after analyzing the scenario it has been evaluated that ACFS faces a lot of
difficulties in the process and many a factors are responsible for that. This factor contributes
largely in the economy of the country. But currently the sector is facing many difficulties and is
becoming more complex to operate. The below mentioned are the issues that will be faced by
ACFS;
Transferring of such large amount of goods at such long distances requires huge efforts. And for
doing so the business corporation will have to manage a large amount of data that will further
create a lot of work (Junior and Mendes, 2017). Information needs to be transferred at the
receiver end and the entire journey needs to be tracked. This large amount of data becomes
complicated to manage and it will require a large amount of staff to get the work done on time.
Not only the staff, is the main focus on the planning of the journey, which route should be taken
