Read and translate the text: History and Background of dhl
In order to understand the concepts of logistics in terms of practical usage and to glimpse into the how a real company or organization uses logistics as a formidable1 tool to gain customer satisfaction, reduce overall cost and increase efficiency we selected “DHL”, the world’s leading courier service company. But DHL is multi faceted and offers myriad types of services.
DHL are the first letters of the last names of the three company founders, Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn.
In 1969, just months after the world had marveled2 at Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the Moon; the three partners took another small step that would have a profound impact on the way the world does business.
The founders began to personally ship papers by airplane from San Francisco to Honolulu, beginning customs clearance of the ship’s cargo before the actual arrival of the ship and dramatically reducing waiting time in the harbor. Customers stood to save a fortune.
With this concept, a new industry was born: international air express, the rapid delivery of documents and shipments by airplane.
The DHL Network continued to grow at an incredible pace. The company expanded westward from Hawaii into the Far East and Pacific Rim3, then the Middle East, Africa and Europe. By 1988, DHL was already present in 170 countries and had 16,000 employees.
At the beginning of 2002, Deutsche Post World Net became the major shareholder in DHL. By the end of 2002, DHL was 100% owned by Deutsche Post World Net. In 2003, Deutsche Post World Net consolidated all of its express and logistics activities into one single brand, DHL.
DHL is the global market leader in international express, overland transport and air freight. It is also the world’s number 1 in ocean freight and contract logistics. DHL offers a full range of customized solutions – from express document shipping to supply chain management.
Below are the global facts and figures that show you the scale of the world's largest express and logistics network.
Number of Employees: around 285,000
Number of Offices: around 6,500
Number of Hubs, Warehouses & Terminals: more than 450
Number of Gateways: 240
Number of Aircraft: 420
Number of Vehicles: 76,200
Number of Countries & Territories: more than 220
Shipments per Year: more than 1.5 billion Destinations Covered: 120,000
The reason for the success of DHL is due to its very effective and efficient way of carrying out the process of project management.
Project Management
DHL manages projects according to a six-step process:
Initiation: The formal start of the project
Design: The formal agreement on how to approach the project and its deliverables
Planning: Following agreement, a detailed plan is created
Execution: After detailed planning and preparation, the project goes 'live'
Closing: Gradually phase out and prepare for handover of the deliverables
Handover: The formal end of the project
