Read the project statement and answer ALL of the questions that follow PROJECT STATEMENT The African Integrated High-Speed Railway Network (AIHSRN). African nations are preparing to invest billions in a significant overhaul of their rail infrastructure as part of an ambitious plan for the continent. One of the key projects underway is the African Integrated High-Speed Railway Network (AIHSRN), which aims to connect Africa's capital cities and major commercial centres with a high-speed railway network to enhance continental trade and competition. This network will span 2,000 km (1,243 miles) and connect 60 cities, including Nairobi, Lagos, Cairo, and Dakar. It will improve access to essential markets, enhance economic cooperation, and encourage regional collaboration. The plan is poised to revolutionise intra-African trade by reducing travel times and lowering transportation costs, making trade between African nations more competitive. The trains will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 250 km/h (155 mph) and will accommodate 481 passengers (479 seats plus two wheelchair spaces). Egypt has already started constructing its high-speed rail network, which is estimated to cost a staggering £7 billion. Given Egypt's high temperatures and frequent sandstorms, the trains are being equipped with specialised dust and sand protection systems to ensure smooth operations and enhance passenger comfort. QUESTION 1 MARKS Introduction: (5) Must include an overview and background of the African Integrated High-Speed Railway Network (AIHSRN). 1.1 Describe the implications of AIHSRN implementing a pull-based system to address challenges associated with creating a sustainable distributor integration network. (15) 1.2 Discuss how AIHSRN can utilise enterprise resource planning to centralise information regarding global capacity reservation contracts. (15) 1.3 Argue why the AIHSRN should prioritise regional pricing over group pricing as a strategy for managing seasonal fluctuations in demand. (15) 1.4 Explain the importance of Egypt creating a Quality Function Development plan to address high temperatures and frequent sandstorms affecting their passenger trains. (15) 1.5 Analyse how changes in population and railway distribution networks can impact strategic alliances formed with fourth-party logistics (4PLs) in capital cities that are part of the AIHSRN. (15) 1.6 Examine the drawbacks of AIHSRN's failure to adapt its social and environmental pillars to the complexities of railway network facilities. (15) Conclusion: (5) The report recommendations and broad conclusion to the essay. Acti [100] Go to
