2LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

3LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Introduction
In the words of Papadopoulos et al. (2017), logistics plays an important role in case of
developing an effective business model. It helps to control the storage flow and input and output
proves in a business. It cannot be denied that logistic management plays an influential part in can
of managing the developing process in transport industry. The purpose of this stud is to highlight
the importance of logistic industry in case of handling the emerging challenges in Melbourne
Airport industry due to increasing number of passengers. It has been identified that due to
technological advancement and safety rules and regulations, the numbers of passengers have
increased. Due to frequent aircraft movement, it has become necessary for the industry to
develop effective logistics management in the workplace. As Melbourne is being considered as
one of the busiest airport in the global therefore, with the increasing numbers of freight
movements, passengers, car trips and aircraft movements, managing the entire input and output
process have become major concern for the authority (Yazdani et al. 2017). Aim of the study is
to shed light on the current operational challenges and develop the effective operational initiative
with proper impact discuss so that the entire business process can get benefited.
Operational procedure
Strategies
As stated by Reefke and Sundaram (2017), in case of managing the optimized inventory
in the aviation industry, the supply chain initiatives are required. it cannot be denied that capacity
management, cost management, maintaining the higher level of inventory accuracy as well a
delivering the standard quality of performance have become important for the aviation industry
in Melbourne. Due to increasing numbers of customers and aircraft movements, it has become
major concern for the airline authority to deliver the organizational benefits to the stakeholders.

4LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Due to this reason, the increasing air traffic, delay in flying, increasing customer complaints
and issues regarding the missing luggage have increased (Infrastructure.gov.au 2018). In this
situation, the industry needs to focus on providing the employment and commercial
opportunities so that the logistics providers as well as the stakeholders can be satisfied. In case
of bringing the operational modification the pick- up ones and drop-off zones can be expanded.
In case of avoiding the risk and hazards, training needs to be provided to the air clearance staffs.
As the study has already discussed that increasing passengers and lower capacity are major
concerns for the airport authority, therefore, in case of dealing with the situation, the new
domestic terminal needs to be developed. Microeconomics issues have become common in the
Australian aviation industry. In case of avoiding the air traffic, the additional runway can be
introduced so that large numbers of customers can get benefited (Industry.nsw.gov.au 2018). It
can be assumed that with the initiative of operational procedure, the customers as well as the
employees will get benefited. It will bring the job opportunities for the candidates. On the other
hand, with the training initiatives, efficiency can be increased. The operational goals are as
follows-
 To increase the efficiency of the employees for better performance
 To design an additional runway for reducing the air traffic
 To increase the employment and commercial opportunities for engaging the local
community
 To develop an effective budget for reducing the transport cost
Procedure outline
It cannot be denied that the operational resources and outsourcing components are very
important in case of implementing the operational initiatives (Dodd, Orlitzky and Nelson 2018).

5LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Capacities, safety hazards, mechanism and environmental policies play an effective role in case
of implementing the operational procedure related strategies. Analyzing the availability of
resources, which are required for the logistics management, further process will be started. In
case of implementing the operational strategies, permission regarding the licensing and
budgeting are needed (Christopher 2017). As environmental legislations are strict in the aviation
industry, therefore, in case of developing new management plan, below stages needed to be
followed.
