Total Quality Management/Service Excellence in Container Shipping Industry
Service quality (SQ) is an important factor in sustaining relationships with your clients in the container shipping industry. Clients who request containership services have transportation needs that prioritize punctuality, reliability, connectivity, and other criteria over low freight rates. To put it another way, clients that utilize container shipping are more concerned about SQ; thus, total quality management (TQM) practices must be implemented to ensure high SQ levels that meet customer expectations. To do so, shipping firms must coordinate six TQM practices: managerial leadership, employee involvement, customer focus, process management, training, and supplier quality management in order to improve five SQ dimensions: tangibility, reliability, empathy, assurance, and responsiveness. This will help them perform better financially.

Computer modeling and simulation is a particularly useful method to examine supply chain operational issues because it can solve operational complexities that are challenging and time consuming to analyze. Manufacturing companies fear losing valuable time and assets during the manufacturing process; the inaccurate estimation of raw materials, human capital, or physical infrastructure not only leads to monetary loss for the manufacturing unit, but also has a detrimental effect on the environment.
