Market Access Initiative for the less developed countries (LDC) and related Issues: A Canada perspective (Part-2)

Posted on by ikram

Introduction:

LDCs are countries with poverty, human resource weakness, and economic vulnerability. Which conditions and criteria are reviewed by a UN and Social Council (ECOSOC) committee every three years. In International trade LDCs get some tariff and market access facilities.
Canada is also providing some tariff and market access facilities to the LDCs,which includes many third world countries including Bangladesh, a country in the South Asian region. Hope the following narratives will discuss about custom aspects of the
 market access initiatives, which could be beneficial to exporters, importers and people handling customs related issues in Bangladesh, as well as other LDCs and other areas of the world especially related to Canada Economy.
Bangladesh can be treated as an exemplary country in the LDCs and Canada as an exemplary first world country, who provides similar (not same) facilities to the LDCs.

A Global Consensus:

There is a global consensus that economic development & growth can help to decease poverty. Starting from February, 2002, Canada government was exploring the idea to give greater access to their economy. Which would reduce  poverty among the poorest countries. Promote investment  and development; enhance economic development through reduced trade barriers and greater market access to Canada economy.

Bullwhip_Effect_1

A discussion about lack of supply chain coordination and the bullwhip effect

In SCM, a supply chain manager coordinates the logistics of all the aspects of the supply chain which consists of five parts: the plan or strategy, the source of raw materials and services, manufacturing, i.e., productivity and efficiency, delivery and logistics, the return system for defective and unwanted goods etc. The phenomenon that fluctuation in orders increases as one moves up the supply chain from retailers to wholesalers to manufacturers to suppliers is referred to the bullwhip effect. Managers can help achieve coordination in supply chain by aligning goals and incentives across different functions and stages of the supply chain. When supply chain moves from retailers to wholesalers to manufacturers to suppliers, the bullwhip effect occurs. It results in different stages optimizing local objectives instead of total supply chain profits. The bullwhip effect results in costs in the supply chain and decrease in levels of customer service.

Logistical drivers in a supply chain include facilities, inventory, and transportation, while cross-functional drivers include information, sourcing, and pricing. Facilities store and process inventory, while transportation moves it. Information analyzes inventory, transportation, and facilities, while sourcing determines internal or outsourced functions. Pricing determines the price of goods and services.
