    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    International supply chains are an ever more prominent feature of global commerce.The production of manufactured goods is organized increasingly through global

    value or supply chains, with goods being processed (value being added) in multiplecountries that are part of the chain. Plants in each country specialize in specificprocessing activities that make up a final product. Economists call the processvertical specialization. One implication is that more than half of world trade todaycomprises intermediate inputs. For the world as a whole, the import content of exports has been estimated to be about 30% (Daudin, Rifflart and Schweisguth,2011).

    Freight Mode share:

    In the world as a whole the supply chain industry the major players included areDHL, FEDEX, BLUE DART, TNT, GATI, and many more. Major Indian logisticcompanies are DTDC, PACKERS & MOVERS, OM LOGISTICS, CONCOR etc.

    In 2010 Deustche Post was Indias top logistics firm claiming a market share of 40%was estimated at $100 billion.

    According to a Cushman & Wakefield report, Indias logistics industry is expected togrow at 15-20% per annum, reaching revenues of US$ 385 billion by 2015. Demandfor focused supply chain services has been fuelled by industries with a highpropensity to outsource: including the automobile, consumer packaged goods, hi-tech, telecom and retail industries. The movement of basic commodities, for

    HISTORY OF DHL

    1969 Founding of DHL

    Just a few months after Neil Armstrong took the first step on the moon, AdrianDalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn in San Francisco take a step destined toalter the global economy: In 1969, they founded the company DHL the three lettersstand for the initials of their last names.

    1971 DHL expands its networkDHL expands its network at high speed. Following expansion in the Far East and inthe Pacific Rim (1971), DHL also begins offering services in Japan, Hong Kong,Singapore and Australia (1972) and later in Europe (1974), Latin America (1977),the Middle East and Africa (1978).

    1979 DHL offers parcel deliveryDHL adds parcel delivery to its list of services. Until this time, the company offereddelivery of documents only .

    1986 DHL in ChinaDHL enters into a joint venture with the Peoples Republic of China, making it thefirst express company to operate inside of China .

    1989 Deutsche BundespostPostdienst, DBP Postbank and DBPTelekom are established under the first postal reformThe Law concerning the Structure of Posts and Telecommunications of July 1,1989, stipulates the restructuring of the former Deutsche Bundespost (Postalreform I). The new structure brings about the following organizational andregulatory changes:Separation of Deutsche Bundespost into three sectors DeutscheBundespostPostdienst, Deutsche Bundespost Postbank and Deutsche BundespostTelekomSeparation of the regulatory/political area from the managerial/operational areaEstablishment of management and supervisory boards for the public companiesCreation of a Board of Directors to which the management board chairpersons of the three companies belong.

    1990 Reunification also with the PostThe East German Deutsche Post is incorporated into DeutscheBundespost.

    1995 Deutsche Post AG, Deutsche Postbank AG and DeutscheTelekom AG are established under the second postal reformThe second postal reform, primarily administrative in nature, goes into effect in early1995 based on the Posts and Telecommunications Reorganization Act. The threecompanies that emerged from Deutsche Bundespost are converted into stockcompanies under private law. Although the federal government initially retained allshares, they were gradually offered for sale to private shareholders, with the federalgovernment retaining the majority stake for at least five years. The Federal Postsand Telecommunications Agency was founded at the same time. It represents thefederal governments interests as a shareholder in the three stock corporations and

    performs supervisory and coordinating tasks. The federal regulatory tasks that werestill necessary were initially assumed by a department in the Federal Posts andTelecommunications Agency (dissolved in 1997).

    1996 Fast parcel delivery thanks to extensive investmentMassive investments in state-of-the-art logistics technology pave the way for faster delivery of letters and parcels throughout Germany. Thanks to reorganization andmodernization of production at 33 parcel centers, Deutsche Post is able tosignificantly speed up the distribution process.

    Another comprehensive, large-scale investment program was aimed at modernizingthe infrastructure of the mail centers. When investment was completed in 1998, thenetwork consisted of 83 high-tech production centers.

    A high level of automation and standardization improves service quality and boostsproductivity. Mail is one example. While less than 25 percent of letters were sorted bymachine in the early 1990s, 90 percent of all items at mail centers are nowprocessed fully automatically. Ninety-five percent of letters posted in Germany beforefinal collection reach their recipient in just one day.

    1997 The age of globalization dawns at Deutsche PostFollowing the successful domestic restructuring of the company, Deutsche Post AGbegins setting the course for global expansion. Globalization of business activitiescomes in response to the growing number of customers seeking a single serviceprovider for their national and international shipping needs. The strategy is toestablish Deutsche Post internationally with targeted acquisitions, investments andpartnering agreements as well as to steadily expand the market position throughintegrated services.

    1998 Letter 2000 concept becomes realityThe last of 83 mail centers throughout Germany is opened in Regensburg onDecember 4, 1998, giving Deutsche Post one of the most modern mail transportnetworks in the world. Customers benefit from the substantial improvements in mailtransit times: 95 out of 100 letters in Germany reach their recipient in just one day(day of posting + 1), more than 99 percent reach their destination within two days.The new mail centers replace approximately 1,000 mail processing offices whereletters were sorted for the most part manually until the early 1990s. Over 85 percentof all letters are now processed by machine. The modern mail sorting systems canautomatically scan and sort up to 36,000 letters per hour. Deutsche Posts largestmail centers are located in the urban centers of Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurtand Dsseldorf.

AEI is integratedinto the Intercontinental division of Danzas. As a full-service provider, the mergedcompanies provide Deutsche Post with a dense transport network as well as animpressive portfolio of value-added services.

    2000 Deutsche Post AG goes publicOn November 20, 2000, Deutsche Post AG goes public. The largest IPO of the year in Germany and the third-largest worldwide proves a resounding success. An initialtotal of 29 percent of the share capital of Deutsche Post AG is sold. The immensedemand, as evidenced by an eight-fold oversubscription to the shares offered in theIPO, clearly demonstrate that the Groups strategy has convinced investors and thecapital market alike.

    2001 Deutsche Post AGs first Annual General Meeting after theIPOOne June 27, 2001, Deutsche Post AG holds its first Annual General Meeting after the IPO in the Klnarena with approximately 6,000 shareholders.

    GoGreen - a success story

    Recent Management Initiatives

    HR planning and recruitment

    In many countries throughout the world, demographic changes have become an

    important factor in our personnel planning. In Europe, the aging workforce is the

    main demographic challenge for HR managers. In the highly populated emerging

    economies of Asia or South America, on the other hand, the challenge is to promote

    the development of young talents by way of education and training. Targeted HR

    marketing and efficient recruitment around the world are of great strategicimportance to our future.Strategic workforce management allows us to manage age-related and capacityrisks, address additional training needs, identify transfer opportunities, andeffectively implement long-term succession planning. Following the successfulcompletion of three pilot projects in Germany and Mexico, the methodology will nowbe transferred to additional countries and divisions.

    and study opportunities, depending on their level of education and individualinterests. We also offer young people attractive career training opportunities outsideGermany.

    When hiring interns, we comply with the quality standards established by the "Fair Company" initiative. This includes appropriate compensation, a focus on full-time

    jobs rather than internships, and avoiding vague promises of future employment.In 2012, Deutsche Post DHL employed approximately 4,900 trainees and studentsworldwide. In Germany alone, 2,106 young people began a vocational trainingprogram or an integrated degree program (DualeHochschule ) within the Group. Weoffered nearly 80 % of our trainees continued employment and, with that, avaluable career opportunity .

    Second chance for young people still seeking vocational training positions

    In 2012, our "Perspektive Gelb" job entrance program provided approximately 450internship positions in the MAILdivision to young people who had not yet beenaccepted into a vocational training program. These internships last at least sixmonths. They are designed to prepare participants for the formal Courier, Expressand Postal Services Specialist vocational training program. So far, Deutsche Posthas offered vocational training positions to 75 % of these interns.

    Procedure and methodology

    Warehouse Layout

    Locations in a warehouse are grouped into Location Types based on the operationalfunction being satisfied by the location. A typical warehouse layout may consist of Location Types such as: Receiving, Quarantine, Reserve, Picking, Work In Processand Finished Goods. Each Location Type typically contains multiple locations.Products, customer orders and bill of material work orders flow in and out of LocationTypes during their life cycle .

    Inbound/Outbound Modules

    Inbound modules process items coming into the warehouse (purchase orders,receiving, put away, replenishment, physical inventory control, finished goods andinventory movements). Outbound modules process items going out of thewarehouse (customer orders, bill of material work orders, work in process, picking,packing and shipping).

    General Product Flow

    Products are received into a staging location in the Receiving Area. They are thenmoved from the Receiving Area into locations in the Reserve Stock Area. Next,Picking Area locations that have been depleted are replenished by moving inventoryfrom Reserve Stock locations into Picking Locations. As orders and work orders areprocessed through Picking, Verification Packing and Shipping, product inventory isreduced.

    General Order Flow

    Purchase Orders and Pending Invoices are imported from the host accounting or order entry system. Inventory items are allocated to the orders through a selectionprocess. The inventory location containing the items to be picked is identified andselected in logical picking order. Pick sheets are printed for each order and the order items are picked, packed and shipped

    Products

    Within a warehouse, a unique product number identifies each product. This productnumber is typically referred to as an SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) and can also bereferred to as an Item Number or Item Id.

    Perpetual Inventory

    Perpetual inventory is the term used to describe the continuous real-time tracking of quantities of a product. Perpetual quantities must take into account any activity thatincreases or decreases inventory from a specific location / bin. This includesreceiving, put-away, replenishment, order picking, bill of material picking, inventorymovements and inventory adjustments. Individual quantities must be maintained for every bin that contains the product.

    As product is moved from one bin to another, or from a bin to customer order or billof material, quantities must be balanced and Units of Measure (see below) must betaken into account. The sum of the quantities of all the bins containing the product is

    known as the Warehouse, Facility or Logistic Center Total.Units of Measure (UOMs)

    The way a product is physically packaged can vary. A product may be purchased ina Pallet, stored in inventory as Cases and sold by the each. These physicallydifferent packages of the same product are known as Units of Measure (UOMs). Aproduct sold as an each that has 12 items in a case and 12 cases on a pallet willhave the following UOM configuration: an Each contains a quantity of 1, a Casecontains a quantity of 12 and a Pallet contains a quantity of 144. A product has thesame SKU number for all Units of Measure.

    Locations

    Locations (also known as bins) allow products to be organized within Location Typeswithin a warehouse and have static location names such as Area A - Rack 2 - Shelf

    A - Bin 3. They may contain one specific product or multiple products. If a locationcontains multiple products, it is known as SKU Mixing.

    As product is assigned to a Picking bin, an ROP (Re-Order Point) quantity is set for the product. This number is used to automatically identify when a bin needs to bereplenished.

    Inventory moves are used for putting away inventory after it has been received andfor replenishing picking locations after order picking or bill of material work ordershave depleted them.

    Inventory Adjustments
