Re: 12 Analyse the importance of transport services for a manufacturing business.
Knowledge (K): A factory needs transport to bring in raw materials and to deliver finished goods to customers.
Application (App): For example, a clothing manufacturer depends on lorries to bring cotton to the factory and then ship clothes to shops around the country.
Analysis (Bouncer 1): Good transport helps reduce delays, so the business can meet customer demand on time.
Analysis (Bouncer 2): It also lowers costs, as moving goods quickly and in bulk keeps prices competitive.
Analysis (Bouncer 3): Poor transport, however, could cause late deliveries and lost sales, damaging the firm’s reputation.

Re: 12 Analyse the importance of transport services for a manufacturing business.
When a transport service delivers raw material on time eg wood for furniture, this would make the business get raw material on time to make the product, without any disruption or hiccups, meaning peoples demand will be fulfilled on time, spreading good word of mouth and hence free marketing for your products and the cost that is saved form the marketing could be reinvested in the business to expand further.
