Regional Responsibility Statemap Guide

This State Map outlines the regional divisions of the company’s operations across the United States, as well as Canada, which falls under the Northeast Region. Each region is responsible for managing logistics, shipments, and operations within its respective states and sectors. The map provides clear delineation of responsibilities, facilitating efficient coordination between regional teams and offering insights into the common sectors managed in each region.

1. Regions and Color Coding:

Each region is color-coded, representing its area of responsibility. Below is a breakdown of the states and Canada, along with common sectors managed in each region:

• Northeast Region (Red):

  • States: Maine (ME), New Hampshire (NH), Vermont (VT), Massachusetts (MA), Connecticut (CT), Rhode Island (RI), New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), Pennsylvania (PA), Delaware (DE), Maryland (MD), Washington D.C. (DC), Virginia (VA)

Key ports like Savannah and Charleston play a vital role in importing/exporting these commodities. The region also handles significant volume in electronics and machinery exports.

• Midwest Region (Green):

  • States: North Dakota (ND), South Dakota (SD), Nebraska (NE), Kansas (KS), Minnesota (MN), Iowa (IA), Missouri (MO), Wisconsin (WI), Illinois (IL), Indiana (IN), Ohio (OH), Michigan (MI)

  • Common Sectors: The Midwest focuses on agriculture (corn, wheat, soy), automotive manufacturing, industrial machinery, and food processing. Ports on the Great Lakes, as well as the Mississippi River transport network, are critical for exporting agricultural and industrial products.

• Gulf Region (Orange):

  • States: Arizona (AZ), New Mexico (NM), Texas (TX), Oklahoma (OK), Colorado (CO), Louisiana (LA), Arkansas (AR)

  • Common Sectors: The Gulf region is heavily focused on the energy sector (oil, gas), petrochemicals, and mining. Texas and Louisiana, with key ports like Houston and New Orleans, are vital for exporting oil and natural gas, as well as importing machinery and chemicals. The region also deals with electronics and aerospace components.

2. Purpose of the Statemap:

The map serves as a tool to clarify which regional teams are responsible for managing logistics, shipments, and other operations across the United States and Canada. It aids in improving communication between teams and ensuring each region is accountable for the operations within their designated area.

Key Benefits:

• Clear Division of Responsibilities: This map ensures transparency in defining which region manages specific states, making it easy to direct logistics tasks to the appropriate team.

• Efficient Communication: By visually defining regions, the map helps ensure that communication flows to the correct regional office.

• Region-Specific Expertise: Each region can focus on the specific logistical needs of its states, including sectors that are dominant in that area, leading to more tailored and efficient operations.
