Editor's Notes
- GLF Workshop Series on Leadership for Logistics The Four E’s of Excellence (Ethics,Enthusiasm, Evaluation and Empathy)– Controlling Others for Love and Money - James Quinn and Prof Philbert Suresh We live in a complex, adaptive system that is intricately interconnected. It is a multidimensional web of life. A small change in this seemingly chaotic soup can, and does, affect the whole when it is focused on key points. The late anticipatory design scientist R. Buckminster Fuller often talked about the trim tab factor. To understand this phenomenon, imagine a large ocean-going ship. In order to turn this vessel in a new direction one must first adjust the trim tab, which is a miniscule rudder on the larger rudder. This smaller rudder, which runs the length of the main rudder, is turned first and the larger rudder then follows. In fact, there are no mechanics yet devised that could turn the larger rudder against the momentum of such a massive vessel without it breaking off. Only by first applying pressure to the smaller rudder will the larger one even begin to move, thereby changing the direction of the ship.
- trim tab : The above diagram illustrates a "trim tab" located on the elevator. These control tabs may be located on other surfaces as well, such as a rudder control tab or a balance tab on the aileron. Nonetheless, the purpose of all these tabs is the same. In the previous section, we discussed that the horizontal stabilizer and elevator are used to provide stability and control in pitch. In order to keep a plane in a steady, level orientation, the elevator usually has to be deflected by some small amount. Since it would be very tiring for a pilot to physically hold the control stick in position to keep the elevator at that deflection angle for an entire flight, the elevator is fitted with a small "tab" that creates that elevator deflection automatically. The trim tab can be thought of almost as a "mini-elevator." By deflecting the tab up or down, it increases or decreases the downforce created by the elevator and forces the elevator to a certain position. The pilot can set the deflection of the trim tab which will cause the elevator to remain at the deflection required to remain trimmed. http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/design/q0101.shtml
- The rulers of yesteryears like Alexander The Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar etc dreamt of expanding their empires by capturing cities; today rapidly developing countries are in the forefront of expanding their economy into a fortress of knowledge, business, technology and trade. Take a look at this city building concept within modern states like Dubai from the following websites – www.dubaiinternetcity.com www.dubaimediacity.com www.jafza.co.ae www.dafza.gov.ae
- read computer-generated labels to affix to cartons. (1) • read packing slips to find out the goods' destination and to identify loose parts. (1) • use rate charts to determine the price of shipping a specific parcel. (2) • interpret Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) symbols and safety posters in the workplace. (1) • read bills of lading and order forms to obtain such information as the shipment contents, customer, transportation company, destination, reference numbers and billing instructions. (2) • read shipping lists to plan the timing of materials and trucks that will enter and exit the yard. (2) • read labels on cartons and verify the contents listed with invoices to ensure that they are accurate. (2) • read a schedule to monitor which employees are working on various jobs and to co-ordinate unloading the trucks. (2) • use a calendar to track shipments.

- Shippers and receivers: •may receive payment from customers and give the correct change when the payment is in cash. (money math) (1) •may approve invoices by checking the calculations for accuracy. (money math) (2) •may total bills including calculation of applicable discounts and taxes to prepare invoices for cash on delivery (C.O.D.) orders. (money math) (3) •may keep track of how much money is collected by recording it in an accounting book. (scheduling or budgeting and accounting math) (1) •may calculate the costs of shipping by various carriers to decide who offers the best value, considering such factors as price and delivery time. (scheduling or budgeting and accounting math) (3) •may take note of the time that a truck sits waiting to be loaded or unloaded, as this determines the charge for waiting time. (measurement and calculation math) (1) •may calculate the weight of a skid by placing each of the boxes on a scale and totaling their weight, or multiplying the weight of one box by the number of boxes. (measurement and calculation math) (2) •may calculate a shipping price using a rate chart. (measurement and calculation math) (2) •may calculate the area and volume of a parcel to inform a carrier how much space it will take. (measurement and calculation math) (2) •may estimate how much inventory is available to fill an order. (numerical estimation) (1) •may estimate shipping prices for prospective clients. (numerical estimation) (2) •may estimate the number of goods which can be ready for shipping, taking into consideration such factors as size, availability of loading materials and resources, and other scheduling priorities. The accuracy of these estimates contributes to profitability. (numerical estimation) (3)
- read and write, count, round off, add or subtract, multiply or divide whole numbers. For example, counting items to be shipped, or verifying invoices by multiplying the number of units in a box by the number of boxes. read and write, add or subtract fractions. For example, indicating what fraction of a skid is full. read and write, round off, add or subtract decimals, multiply or divide by a decimal, multiply or divide decimals. For example, reading and writing the price of a shipment, or multiplying by a decimal in order to calculate G.S.T. read and write percents, calculate the percent one number is of another, calculate a percent of a number. For example, calculating percentage discounts. convert between fractions and decimals or percentages, convert between decimals and percentages. For example, converting percent to decimals in order to multiply for tax calculations. solve problems by constructing and solving equations with one unknown.

- According to experts the Gulf will need to create 100 million jobs by 2030 but its education system is failing to produce students of the right calibre for business, the four men and one woman panel concluded. Move out of the circle of comfort and take entrepreneurial risks
- Take the "workforce for the future" issue. We’ve done quite a bit of work in this area. [Employers have] been accustomed to the U.S. labor force as being a very rich pool. They can dip their ladle in as they wish and out come exactly the sets of people they want and need. This seems like a no-brainer, but people have [simply been] filling positions rather than charting over a five-year or longer period what people they are going to need, where are they going to need them and what kinds of skills they are going need.
- How does a company develop senior executives on the fast track? Time was when a deep understanding of the business and corporate culture was essential to their growth.

- These problems, which caused Boeing to lose credibility with the U.S. department of Defense, a major customer, came at a time when the company was already under severe competitive pressure from Europe 's Airbus in the commercial aviation industry. To make matters worse, Boeing was also losing money in its satellite and space businesses .

- identifies conditions under which asymmetric equilibria may exist when carriers compete in designing their network configurations in a game-theoretical framework. Two carriers are assumed here, which are allowed to play three different strategies: point-to-point (PP), hub-and-spoke (HS) or multi-hub. We find two main stable outcomes, which depend on the size of the internal market. First, when the internal markets are small, PP network strategies are played by both carriers, while for a specific subset of parameters a collusive equilibrium in a HS configuration can be derived. Second, when the size of the internal markets is large, asymmetric configurations, where one carrier chooses a HS strategy and the other chooses a PP strategy, are the only stable equilibria. The result can be used to describe the coexistence of alternative business models that have recently emerged in the aviation industry: the established full-service model based on the HS system and the recent low-cost model based on the PP system.
