Write 12 pages with APA style on Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone: Its Impact on Companies Supply Chain Operations. The major intention of the creation of the Jebel Ali Free Zone is to provide incentives to companies, so that they may be able to add or create value in their manufactured products (Jebel Ali Free Zone, 9). These incentives are also given to large transportation companies, responsible for the transportation of cargo. The Free Zone achieves this objective by providing an infrastructure that helps the company to efficiently manufacture their products, and also to distribute them. These are supported by other value-added services, provided within the Free Zone, and various incentives and proactive marketing. The intention of this free zone is to attract large business organizations for purposes of helping in the growth and diversification of the economy of Dubai.

The Jebel Ali Free Zone is the first such organization to be awarded an ISO 9002 certification (Jebel Ali Free Zone, 2). For the last decade, this free zone has managed to attract a high level of investment, and it currently has more than 7100 companies, all coming from different regions of the world. Most of these companies engage in the manufacturing or distribution of goods that can be used for export or domestic consumption. Global international brands, such as Samsung, Sony, Colgate, Honda, and Daewoo have opened manufacturing units in this region, making it one of the fastest growing economic free zones in the world. This paper will, therefore, provide reasons why our company should consider opening some distribution units at the Jebel Ali Free Zone.
