Description
Transportation has been a major component enabling trade for centuries. The physical movement of goods has historically been the basis for economic wealth and political power for states as well as for private enterprises. Consumer goods have always had a great share of total transportation demand. Modern supply chain transportation managers deal with more risks than ever before, so mitigating these risks is key to keeping a supply chain moving with minimal delays. Recent risks facing the transportation industry include driver shortages, cyberattacks, and deteriorating infrastructure, to name a few. To help manage these and other risks and to increase performance and reliability, companies need to enhance visibility and transparency across the transportation supply chain and use a well-executed transportation management system.Through this course, you will get to learn about the transportation planning process for supply chains, affiliated systems and key parameters to be considered, as well as about the Transportation Management Systems or TMS technology. This is a unique and comprehensive course on Transportation Planning. In this course you will learn about:. Understand the supply chain context. Key parameters in transportation services and markets. Variables that are evaluated in the outsourcing decisions. Trends that are impacting supply chain effectiveness. Core elements of transportation planning. Logistics responsibilities, costs, and performance along the supply chain. Key planning processes that are used. Categorization of transportation activities and key parameters used for them.
