Not only is it the largest logistics cost component in most

30、 supply chains, but it also directly impacts fulfillment speed and service quality. By providing the physical links between key participants across domestic and global supply chains, transportation facilitates the creation of time and place utilities. Organizations with highly efficient and effectiv

31、e transportation processes can differentiate their product in the marketplace through lower landed costs and greater inventory availability. Managing the transportation process for maximum supply chain impact requires considerable knowledge of transportation options, planning, decision making, analy

32、tical skills, and information sharing capabilities. Transportation is a key supply chain process and must be included in supply chain strategy development, network design, and total cost management. Numerous obstaclesglobal expansion of supply chains, rising costs, limited capacity, and government r

33、egulationmust be overcome to synchronize transportation with other supply chain processes. Fulfillment of supply chain demand can be accomplished through five modal options or the intermodal use of truck, rail, air, water, and pipeline transportation.,Summary (cont.) Multiple planning activities occ

34、ur prior to carrier and mode selection: who will be responsible for managing the transportation function within the organization, what terms of sale and payment will be used, and how goods will be transported must all be determined with a strategic supply chain focus. Mode selection is based on the

35、relative strengths of each modal/intermodal option in terms of accessibility, transit time, reliability, safety and security, transportation cost, and the nature of the product being transported. Carrier selection focuses on the type of service required (direct or indirect), geographic coverage, ser

36、vice levels, and carrier willingness to negotiate reasonable rates. Most commercial freight moves under contractual rates that are negotiated directly between freight buyers and transportation companies for specific volumes of tailored services at mutually agreed-upon prices.,Summary (cont.)Shipment

37、 routing guides help organizations ensure internal compliance with service contracts and maintain centralized control over freight tendering decisions. Freight documentation provides the details of each shipment, sharing critical information that promotes uninterrupted flows of goods through the sup

38、ply chain. Domestic transportation documents include the bill of lading, freight bill, and freight claims, while international freight requires additional paperwork such as a commercial invoice, shippers letter of instructions, certificate of origin, and insurance certificates. Organizations must co

39、ntinue to manage freight after it has been tendered to carriers by maintaining in-transit visibility of shipments and monitoring carrier performance. Numerous metrics are available to evaluate transportation service quality in terms of carrier timeliness, freight protection, accuracy, and perfect de

40、liveries. Service efficiency measures focus on spending proficiency, asset utilization, and labor productivity.,Summary (cont.) Transportation management systems are widely used information technologies that support the effective planning, execution, and analysis of transportation processes. Emerging tools such as event management and RFID have the potential to improve supply chain visibility and dynamic response to potential challenges.,
