IntroductionIntroduction

Transportation is necessary to: Move purchased goods from suppliers to buyers

Move finished goods to the customer.

– Products have little value to the customer until they are moved to the customer’s point of consumption.

– Transportation is what creates the efficient flow of goods between supply chain partners.

U.S. freight transportation amounts to 6 % of GDP.

Impact of Transportation on Supply Impact of Transportation on Supply Chain ManagementChain Management

Time utility- products are delivered at the right time. Place utility- products are delivered to the desired location. Transportation & storage, getting through customs, delivering to foreign locations

Firms are often use outside agents or third-party transportation services to work in foreign locations.

Poor transportation management can bring a supply chain to its knees!!

Fundamentals of TransportationFundamentals of Transportation

The Objective of Transportation- Satisfying customers while minimizing costs & making a profit contribution.

Legal Forms of Transportation- Transportation service companies are classified legally as either common, contract, exempt, or private carriers.

– Common carriers- offer transportation services to all shippers at published rates between designated locations without discrimination.

– Contract carriers- not bound to serve the general public. Contract carriers serve specific customers under contractual agreements.

– Exempt carriers- exempt from regulation of services & rates & if they transport certain exempt products like produce, livestock, coal, or newspapers.

– Private carrier- not subject to economic regulation & typically transports goods for the company owning the carrier.

The Modes of Transportation

Motor Carriers (trucks)- most flexible mode of transportation & account for over 80 % of U.S. freight. Trucks compete w/rail & air for short-to medium hauls. Weather is primary disadvantage.•Less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers or truck-load (TL) carriers. LTL carriers move small shipments & fees are higher.•General freight carriers carry the majority of goods shipped & include common carriers. •Specialized carriers transport liquid petroleum, household goods, building materials, & other specialized items.

The Modes of Transportation

Rail Carriers- compete most favorably when the distance is long & the shipments are heavy or bulky.

– Rail relatively slow & inflexible, rail roads have begun purchasing motor carriers & can thus offer point-to-point pickup & delivery service known as trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC) service.

– Rail companies use each other’s rail cars. Keeping track of rail cars & getting them where they are needed can be problematic.

– Railroad infrastructure & aging equipment are also problems for the railroads.

The Modes of Transportation

Air Carriers- Very expensive relative to other modes but also very fast. Air carriers transport about 5 % of the U.S. freight bill.

– Airlines cannot carry extremely heavy or bulky cargo. – For light, high value goods that need to travel long

distances quickly, most small cities & towns do not have airports.

– Half of the goods transported by air are carried by freight–only airlines, Fedex.

The Modes of TransportationWater Carriers- Inexpensive, slow & inflexible. Include inland waterway, coastal & intercoastal, & deep-sea.

– Inland waterway transportation is used for heavy, bulky, low-value materials (e.g., coal, grain). Competes w/rail & pipeline.

– Water carriers are paired w/trucks to enable door-to-door delivery.

– Supertankers are +1,500 ft long & 200 ft wide.Pipeline Carriers- Limited in variety they can carry.

Little maintenance once pipeline is running. Materials hauled in a liquid or gaseous state.

Intermodal Transportation- Combinations of the various transportation modes, is becoming an extremely popular method.

– Trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC), container-on-flatcar (COFC), piggy-back service. The same containers can be placed on board containerships & airliners.

– ROROs or roll-on-roll-off containerships truck trailers & containers to be directly driven on & off the ship, without the use of cranes.

Third-Party Logistics Services- intermediaries facilitate use of the transportation alternatives.

– Freight forwarders- consolidate shipments to fill trucks or rail cars.

– Transportation brokers- handle transportation requirements of shippers. legally authorized to act as agents on shippers behalf.

– Shipper’s Associations- non-profit orgs that move member’s cargo. Consolidate members’ shipments to get volume discounts.

– Intermodal marketing companies (IMCs) act as intermediaries between intermodal rail carriers & shippers.

– Integrated logistics service providers provide services for a fee.

Transportation Pricing– Cost-of-service pricing- vary based on fixed & variable costs. As

volume increases, the fixed costs portion goes down.– Value-of-Service Pricing- services priced at market bearing

competitive levels. A profit maximizing pricing approach.– Terms of Sale- price includes transportation FOB destination free

on board to the shipment’s destination.– Pricing Negotiation- Since the deregulation, negotiating prices is

more common.– Rate Categories- rates can be classified a number of different

ways. Classified as class rates, exception rates, commodity rates, & miscellaneous rates.

Transportation Regulation & Deregulation– Pro- Government regulation is good in that it tends to assure

adequate transportation service throughout the country while protecting consumers in terms of monopoly pricing, safety, & liability.

– Con- Transportation deregulation is good because it encourages competition & allows prices to adjust as demand & negotiations dictate.

– Today, U.S. transportation industry remains essentially deregulated

Transportation Regulation– Granger laws of the 1870s broadly regulate the RRs.– Interstate commerce Act of 1887- Created the Interstate

Commerce Commission (ICC). – Transportation Act of 1920- Made changes to IC act of 1887.– Motor Carrier Act of 1935 brought motor carriers under ICC

control.– Transportation Act of 1940 establishing ICC control over

domestic water transportation. – Federal Aviation Act of 1958 created to prescribe air traffic

rules, make safety regulations & plan the national airport system. – Department of Transportation Act 1966 to coordinate the

executive functions of all transportation-related matters.

Transportation Deregulation – Railroad Revitalization & Regulatory Reform Act, passed in 1976. – Rail-roads could change rates w/o ICC approval. – Air freight was deregulated in 1977.– Motor carriers were deregulated in 1980 to promote competitive,

safe & efficient motor transportation.– The shipping Act of 1984 allowed ocean carriers to pool or share

shipments, assign ports, publish rates, & enter into contracts with shippers.

– ICC Termination Act of 1995 & the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998 Interstate Commerce Commission was eliminated, requirement for ocean carriers to file rates with the Federal Maritime Commission also came to an end.

The Importance & Types of Warehouses– Warehouses support purchasing, production, & distribution. – Consolidation warehouses collect large numbers of LTL

shipments then transported in TL or CL quantities.

Private Warehouses- Refers to warehouses that are owned by the firm storing the goods.

– This arrangement reduces the cost of warehousing, offers greater control, provides better workforce utilization, & can generate income & tax advantages through leasing of excess capacity &/or asset depreciation.

– Nonetheless, owning a private warehouse represents a financial risk & loss of flexibility.

Risk Pooling & Warehouse Location– As the number of warehouses increases, the system becomes

more decentralized. Responsiveness & delivery service increase. – However, warehousing operating & inventory costs also increase.

Trade-off between costs & customer service must be considered.

Risk Pooling– Describes the relationship between the number of warehouses,

inventory, & customer service.– Risk pooling is estimated by square-root rule

Warehouse Location Strategies proposed by Edgar Hoover– Market-positioned strategy- warehouses close to customers to

maximize distribution svcs & improve transp. economies of scale.– Product positioned strategy- warehouses close to the sources

of supply to enable the firm to collect goods & consolidate these. – Intermediately positioned strategy- warehouses midway

between the sources of supply & the customers when distribution requirements are high & product assortments come from various locations.

Warehouse Location- Theories– Von Thunen - transportation costs should be minimized when

considering facility location. Market prices & production costs would be identical regardless of the location of the warehouse.

– Greenhut- based on profit instead of transportation costs. The optimum location would be the one that maximized profits, which may not coincide with the minimum cost location.

International Transportation IssuesInternational Transportation Issues

International Freight Security- Conflict between U.S. govt. & industry toward more security & restrictions for inbound shipments.International Intermediaries

– Customs Brokers- move shipments through customs & handle documentation.

– International Freight Forwarders- move goods from production to foreign destination w/ surface & air transportation.

– Trading Companies- Put foreign buyers & sellers together & handle all of the export/import arrangements.

– Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carriers- operate like freight forwarders but use scheduled ocean liners.

– Global Logistics Service Providers- Companies like DHL & UPS offer total global logistics solution.
