The multiple modes of transport and means of supply focused on the planning, organization, management, control and implementation of transport and direct shipping operations within the supply chain, and the distribution and productivity institutions rely heavily on the efficiency and the quality of the supply system to regulate the transfer of materials operations and commodities within the Middle East networks and abroad with the assertion that multiple modes of transport has become the industry itself and has experienced rapid growth over the past years. This book aims to identify workers in international trade and logistics developments that have occurred in this sector field and its role in the development of trade and transport of goods in the Middle East where there is a real competition between Jordan and Dubai to be one logistics service center at the global level and in the region, especially since the Levant region Arab has become the center of attention by international companies under the right environment provides that Jordan is on track to be a logistics and transit services for international trade center from Europe to the Far East by virtue of its geographical location. The logistics business is an integrated holistic system depends on other management concepts such as production management, operations, marketing management, sales, warehouse management, procurement and management of public relations and fund management, financial and marketing information systems and risk and crisis management, research and development and other in order to integrate these functions in the company in practical viable by frame companies in order to improve its performance and raise the level of performance in the flow and the flow of the transmission and the movement of goods and services to markets.

 

The customer service is the focus of logistics business activity which is a quality which is made by the management of the flow of traffic and the flow of goods and services offered by the company to the customer operations level are the final results of specific activities and functions of the logistics business in the company which is related to respond to orders, which offer the customer by logistics providers .

 

The economic importance of the work of the logistics has come at the local national level, international and global level in providing suitable for a large number of workers' jobs, as some studies have indicated that the sector was able to attract the proportion of up to24% of employment in size as is the case in the United States .

a.Air transportation : This enables quick delivery particularly useful in case of perishable commodities.

Logistics services comprise physical activities (e.g. transport, storage) as well as non-physical activities (e.g. supply chain design, selection of contractors, freightage negotiations). Most activities of logistics services are bi-direction. Information systems include modelling and management of decision making, and more important issues are tracking and tracing. It provides essential data and consultation in each step of the interaction among logistics services and the target stations. Infrastructure comprises human resources, financial resources, packaging materials, warehouses, transport and communications. Most fixed capital is for building those infrastructures. They are concrete foundations and basements within logistics systems.  Furthermore, the different modes used are:

1.      Air transportation which infact enables rapid delivery of materials specially those including perishable commodities.

2.      Water transportation that is transferring of goods involving ocean liners and ships. This is a very effective mode of transportation. However, it very costly and time consuming.

3.      Surface transportation, this involves railway and highway transportation which are considered to be the easiest and cheapest way of transportation within a country.

4.      Pipelines are used to transport oil and natural gas. Liquids and gases are transported in pipelines as well as chemically stable substances. Pipelines exist for the easy transportation of refined petroleum.

 

5.      Internet carriers-Through the internet service provider we are able communicate worldwide. This is considered to be a sort of transportation which consumes less time to provide a good deal between producers and consumers. In fact via satellite we can use devices and telephone wires to carry digital information and products from producer to consumer.

Any method used to transfer goods or services from one point to another, from maker to user, is a mode of logistic function.  Cannot think of any other mode to add to the list of modes already mentioned by all learned gentlemen here.
