PERSONALIZED LOGISTICS SERVICES


Many of us would have heard or at some point of time claim that, we are customer oriented, we love our customers, customers are always right or etc. But deep down our heart, let us ask ourselves if we really act or take ownership as what we allege.
Even if we are truly customer oriented, we must always be confident in fulfilling customer's needs without jeopardizing our own interests. When we are confident, customer's confidence will be earned. Customers needs to know every additional pain & efforts taken onto ourselves to make a successful delivery.
Here are some of the some common questions & answers that are good examples to increase the level of 'can do' attitude in us.

Q : How far would you go to satisfy a customer?
A : We will go furthest possible distance to get closest to the customers.
Q : Do you believe in providing good service quality?
A : Yes, of course we believe in good service quality but we deliver the best.
Q : How much resources are you willing to spend for personalized services to the customers?
A : As much as customers are willing to spend for best personalized services with us.
Q : What would you do please an angry customer?
A : Put the customer in our shoes with transparency & promise ourselves to walk hand in hand with the customer.
Q : Would you spend time to win a lost customer again?
A : A short phone call or a visit once a month will not be much of a spend as compared to the gains if we get lucky.
On the other hand, if we go on bowing down to all unworkable demands, it will just lead to undesirable results for us. It is crucial for us to grow along with our customers to build sustainable business & not to collapse. Treat customer just as good as how we would treat our business partners & see how it will be beneficial.

About the light manufacturing Assembly industry in Cambodia

 About the light manufacturing Assembly industry in Cambodia

  • Cambodia’s light manufacturing assembly sector, located primarily but not exclusively in special economic zones, covers principally labour intensive operations.
  • This includes in bicycle manufacturing, electronics and electronic manufacturing and assembly, and a mix of other light manufacturing products.
  • Global light manufacturing trade in electrical and electrical equipment was worth approximately $2.3 million in 2012.
  • In 2013, Cambodia’s bicycle exports showed a 55% increase to 1.8 million making it the second largest exporter to Europe after Taiwan. Currently there are six bicycle manufacturers in Cambodia, five of which are of Taiwanese origin. At the time of print, 2014 figures could not be found.
  • Low labour costs make Cambodia attractive for the labour intensive stages of light manufacturing production tasks such as wire harness, structural blocks for digital information appliances, chassis and auto body components.
  • Most components, parts and raw materials are sourced from neighbouring countries including Thailand, Vietnam, China and Malaysia.
  • Duty-free status for exports to Europe for a number of manufactured goods such as bicycles has brought investors to move production from neighbouring countries to Cambodia.Cambodia’s light manufacturing assembly sector, located primarily but not exclusively in special economic zones, covers principally labour intensive operations. 

About the agriculture industry in Cambodia

 about the agriculture industry in Cambodia

  • About 80% of Cambodia’s population is engaged in agriculture.
  • The sector accounted for about 36% of GDP in 2012 and thus the Cambodian government encourages investment in agriculture.
  • Products are intensively traded with neighbouring regional countries.
  • Agricultural growth in 2014 decelerated in response to declining world agricultural prices, according to the latest World Bank economic outlook on the region.
  • They expect growth in the sector will continue to be affected by dampening agricultural commodity prices in the international market.
  • To assist the recovery of the sector, the World Bank suggests increasing public investment in farm advisory services, seed development and irrigation infrastructure to enhance shock resilience, and improving rice milling and logistical costs, which would help, improve competitiveness.
  • Most of the current demand for water pumps, well drilling machines, tractors, tilling equipment, rice milling, drying, packaging equipment, fertilizers, insecticides and seeds comes from private agribusiness investors and NGOs.
  • There is significant potential to expand the production and processing of high yield varieties of rice, cashews, corn and other crops. Several investment projects in palm oil, tapioca, rubber and cassava are underway.
  • Rice milling is also an emerging industry.
The growing export market for Cambodian organic produce presents many new opportunities, especially in rice, pepper and moringa. 

Rice 

  • Rice is a traditional crop of cultural and historical significance and its production is extensive and widespread.
  • The cost of rice paddy production is one of the lowest in the world.
  • Duty-free access granted to Cambodia by the EU and Russia has been a key driver of rapid export growth since 2009.
  • Cambodia’s rice exports between January and May 2014 increased by 1 % from the same time last year, to 148,262 metric tonnes according to figures from the Federation of Cambodian Rice Exporters.
  • The main rice export destinations are Malaysia, France, Poland, Gabon and China. Global trade in milled rice is expected to remain at near record volumes over medium term at 30+ million metric tonnes per year.
  • However, Myanmar is likely to re-emerge as a large low cost rice exporter and major competitor as it gained its duty-free status from July 2014.

Rubber 

  • Cambodia has a long history of rubber cultivation that began in French colonial times and it remains an important crop.
  • There has been a 34% rise in dry rubber exports in 2013 according to Ministry of Commence figures released at the start of 2014, thanks to rising global demand.
  • The revenue earned through rubber equates approximately $170 million up from $160 million the year before.
  • The main trading partners for rubber are China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and some European countries.
  • The sector is also seeing an increasing number of domestic farmers as well as foreign investors who use land- concessions to build large scale rubber plantations.  

Cassava

Cambodia exported 300,000 tonnes of fresh and dry cassava in 2013, down 58% compared with the 720,000 tonnes in 2012, according to recent figures released by the Ministry of Commence. Cassava, which is used to produce animal feed and ethanol, has been sold mainly to Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea and China. The decline was explained by the previous years’ flooding which destroyed many crops, however, farmers are discouraged to continue growing these types of crops. These crops are also subject to disease.

LOGISTICIANS ARE MESSENGERS OF LOVE?

The entire world is relying on logistics to ensure sufficient roses, chocolates & gifts are made available in the market throughout the world. This is just ensure none of the lovers are deprived in receiving their lovely love on the worldly day of lovers every year, the Valentine's day.
Hence, as much as we logisticians would like to pride in fulfilling the need of the lovers, let us not forget about the ones we love or the one who loves us. A simple advise is not to use logistics services as 'cupids' to deliver your gifts. Deliver the gifts & flowers to your loved ones in a special way you can think of, yourselves.
The most important message here is, that you 'deliver' yourselves to your lovers on this day. And by making your presence physically, none of the messenger services nor expensive gifts nor roses can surpass the satisfaction feeling of being in love.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

In view of the high logistics costs and poor logistics performance

Most developing countries in the region are still at the nascent stage of developing their logistics systems and face challenges of high logistics costs and poor logistics performance.
In view of the high logistics costs and poor logistics performance of many countries of the region there is clearly a need to identify and address the issuesand challenges that they are facing at both the national and international levels. At the national level, the key issues and challenges include developing logistics infrastructure (transport modes and intermodal logistics facilities as well as information and communications technology (ICT)), establishing suitable regulatory regimes and institutional arrangements, and enhancing the professionalism and competence of logistics service providers.
