The Evolution of Transportation Moving vehicles From Individual modes and facilities Individual jurisdictions Physical capacity Travel time and vehicle operating costs Reacting to economic growth and community and environmental impacts To Moving people and freight Complete end-to-end trip Economic regions and trade corridors Operational performance, flexibility, and reliability Business logistics and economic competitiveness Proactive planning for economic, community and environmental goals
Definition of Logistics Oxford Dictionary defines it as The detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies. OR The commercial activity of transporting goods to customers. According to the Council of Logistics Management, logistics is the... process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements. At its most basic level The line between disorder and order lies in logistics. Sun Tzu Logistics = Supply + Materials management + Distribution Amateurs discuss tactics Professionals discuss logistics. General Robert Barrow, Commandant of the Marine Corps, 1980 6
Achieve maximum customer service level Ensure high product quality Achieve minimum (possible) cost Be flexible during constant market changes The Scope of Logistics in Business Logistics management = the right product, in the right quantity, at the right place, at the right time, with the right cost. 7 Physical Supply Materials Management Inbound Logistics Physical Distribution Outbound Logistics
The Supply Chain The supply chain encompasses all activities associated with the flow and transformation of goods from the raw materials stage to the end user (along with the associated information flow). Supply Chain Management is the integration of these activities, through improved supply chain relationships, to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage Robert B. Hanfield & Ernest L. Nichols Jr., Introduction to Supply Chain Management 8
Supply & Distribution Logistics The physical supply channel refers to the time and space gap between a firm s immediate material sources and its processing points. The physical distribution channel refers to the time and space gap between a firm s processing points and its customers. 9
Logistics Network Design Planning issues include aspects related to the physical flow of the product through a company s operation, such as: Manufacturing location from which a product should be sourced Inventory that should be held Selection of the proper distribution network Number and location of depots Use of stockless depots Final product delivery Principle 2 of Supply Chain Management: Customize the Logistics Network The need to develop supply chain approaches that recognize geographical and environmental conditions, consider the market factors, and are responsive to the needs of the customer

Freight Impacts Economic Vitality and Competitiveness The Environment There are both positive and negative impacts of freight in each of these areas. Safety and Quality of Life National Security The challenge is to plan for both in a balancing act to enable the most positive outcome for all stakeholders.
Broad Trends Affecting Freight Transportation Anticipated Growth in Freight Traffic Strong in all modes tons transported doubling by 2035 capacity has not increased at near the same pace, and in many cases has not changed at all since the 1970 s rapid growth in containerized traffic largest mode increase is truck traffic Shift from Manufacturing to Service Economy More small shipments of light, high-value items increasing demand for reliable, flexible, cost-effective, timely, and door-to-door freight services emergence of e-commerce and e-business requiring faster and more efficient flow of information Shift from National to Global Markets Trade not constrained by jurisdictional boundaries businesses everywhere are conducting business on a global scale managing international supply chains and distribution networks Balance Between Freight Efficiency and Security Multiple law enforcement agencies involved new technology (ITS) for tracking and monitoring carriers and goods greater emphasis on international shipments impacts on cost and delay at multiple levels
Issues & Challenges to Freight Transportation Infrastructure Challenges Physical Condition of the System Intermodal Connectors Orphan status of connectors Geometry problems Pavement conditions Weight, height, depth limitations and / or restrictions Limited access lack of space and / or facilities Dated facilities at border crossings Age of the infrastructure in general just not up to par for today s transport Operational Challenges Performance of the System Congestion Available truck routes for bypass Chokepoints on rail system sharing of right of way with passenger service passenger trains take priority over freight Longer trains delays at crossings Port access freight and passenger service conflicts and congestion / delay getting in or out of the port System reliability the degree of certainty and predictability in travel times on the system Institutional and Policy Challenges Planning and Management of the System Balancing freight efficiency and security Balancing freight and passenger mobility needs Balancing economic competitiveness and environmental / community needs
