  1. TRANSPORTATIONPL201FUNDAMENTAL OF LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

  2. INTRODUCTION • Transportation is moving and transferring units, personnel, equipment, and supplies to support the concept of operations. • Transportation involves the physical movement of goods between origin and destination points. • The transportation system links geographically separated partners and facilities in a company’s supply. • Transportation facilitates the creation of time and place utility in the supply chain. • Transportation also has a major economic impact on the financial performance of businesses.

  3. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT • Transportation is a key activity in logistics because it moves product through the various stages of production and ultimately to consumers. • Transportation is usually the largest single cost expenditure in most logistics operations.

  4. Role of Transportation in Supply Chain Management • Transportation provides the critical links between these organizations, permitting goods to flow between their facilities. • Transportation service availability is critical to demand fulfillment in the supply chain. • Transportation efficiency promotes the competitiveness of a supply chain

  8. MODES OF TRANSPORT

  9. KEY LOGISTICS FUNCTIONSIN A SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPORTATION LO4 • Railroads • Intermodal Transportation • Piggy-Back or Traileron Flatcar (TOFC) • Containers 16-9

  10. KEY LOGISTICS FUNCTIONSIN A SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPORTATION LO4 • Motor Carriers • Air Carriers and Express Companies • Freight Forwarders/Express Companies 16-10

  11. KEY LOGISTICS FUNCTIONSIN A SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPORTATION LO4 • Pipelines • Water 16-11

  12. Rail • A long hauler and slow mover for raw materials (coal, lumber, chemicals) and low-valued products (food, paper & wood products) • In US, typical length of haul 720 miles with average train speed of 22 miles/hour and average distance travelled of 64 miles/day • Slow speed is due to long overhead time in loading/unloading, moving within terminal, rail car assembly

  13. Truck • A transportation service for semi-finished and finished products and for small shipment • In US, the average length of haul is 646 miles for less-than-truckload (LT) and 274 miles for truckload (TL) • Provide high frequency door-to-door service without extra loading/unloading • Restrictions on shipment’s weight, length and width

  14. Air • Provide quick transportation service over long distance • Good dependability and availability under normal operating conditions • Delivery time variability is low in absolute magnitude, but the variability, when compared with average delivery time, is ranked as one of least reliable modes • Has a distinct advantage in terms of loss and damage • In US, average length of freight is 1300 miles

  15. Water • Confine to inland waterway system and costal areas • Large carrying capacity, super container vessels can carry up to 7200 TEU (i.e.180000 tons) • Loss and damage is low • Substantial packaging is needed to protect goods against rough handling during loading-unloading operation

  16. Pipeline • Offer very limited range of service and capabilities • The most economically transportation service for crude oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum product • Product movement speed is slow, about 3-4 miles/hr, but effective speed can be high because of 7-24 operations • Most dependable in terms of transit time • Loss and damage is low

  18. SUPPLIER TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

  19. Single modes • The most basic carrier type is a single-mode operator that offers service utilizing only one transport mode. This degree of focus allows a carrier to become highly specialized, competent, and efficient. However, the approach creates significant difficulties for intermodal transport because it requires negotiation and a transaction with each individual carrier. Airlines are an example of a single-mode carrier for both freight and passenger service since they only offer service from airport to airport. The shipper or passenger is responsible for movement to and from the airport. A series of single-mode operations require more management effort and, thus, increase cost

  20. Specialized carrier • Over the past several decades a serious problem existed in small-shipment transportation. It was diffietilt for a common carrier to provide a reasonably' priced small-shipment service because of significant overhead cost associated with terminal and line-haul service. This overhead forced motor carriers to assign a minimum charge for handling any shipment.

  21. Intermodal operators • Intermodal operators use multiple modes of transportation to take advantage of inherent economies of each arid thus provide integrated service at the lowest total cost.
