Abstract

transportation is the movement of products from one node in the distribution channel to another. By providing for the swift and uninterrupted flow of products back and forward through the distribution channel, transportation provides companies distinct markets on an equal footing. transportation also permits wider and deeper penetration of new markets far from the point of production. In addition, by maximizing vehicle and materials handling capacities and cargo requirements, effective transportation permits distributors to leverage economies of scale by lowering the per unit cost of transporting the product. Efficient transportation enables distributors to reduce the selling price by holding costs down, thereby providing for more competitive product positioning. Finally, transportation provides other business function with essential information concerning products, market place and time utilities and transit costs, and capabilities necessary for effective enterprise planning and operational execution. The first step in the management process is to establish the cost effectiveness of private transportation fleets and the search for and selection of public carriers. The goal is to ensure the highest level of customer service at the lowest possible price. The selection of a carrier is normally a combination of the price of service, carrier financial stability, reliability and mode availability and subjective elements. The second step involves the ongoing choice of selected transport mode to meet daily shipment requirements.
