Describe how you feel you improved your knowledge, skills, abilities, and yourself in this class.
In this class, I have learned many things about intermodal logistics. Despite having some experiences in the field, I have navigated different logistics trends, which can be applied to different organizations. Depending on different businesses, the management can make the changes accordingly. I can understand and identify the mode of transformation due to the concepts, which are taught and navigated. I know different means of transportation for different product deliveries, and this is a huge benefit I gained from the class. Concerning the intermodal transportation, I have improved my knowledge, skills, and abilities through applying some new trends, which have been studied or experienced in the class.
Assess the course objectives you still do not understand and suggest how to improve the course to meet those objectives.
Still, there are many course objectives, which have not been understood. Regarding the intermodal transportation, the objective of the course is to contain some practical implications. Thus, the navigated examples are not up to the mark, as it seems tough to derive insights from these oral examples. The course can be improved through increasing some practical activities to let students understand things, which are necessary to complete the course and meet objectives. The objective is to prepare students to work effectively in the companies. To attain this, the improvements can be visible through some real case studies and practice.
List ways you might measure the future effects of what you have learned in this course or your future progress/improvement.
When working in the supply chain department of the company, the big measure regarding the effect will be the integration level with the production department. Obviously, I can integrate with the production managers to decide what modes of transportation can be used to sustain the quality of the products. In addition, another measure is time accuracy. For Instance, in the class, I have learned and understood that an appropriate mode of transportations plays a big role in reaching the destination on time. Thus, big measure for me is the timely delivered product. These are big improvements, which are in the best interest of the company.
