Logistics Management
Given the extended supply chains within the global marketplace, companies need transportation strategies designed to achieve the service levels that customers demand while reducing costs. Companies today face numerous transportation challenges, including rising fuel costs, new regulatory mandates, and global operations with higher levels of lead time variability.

Customers have increasing demands for transportation performance, higher on-time delivery performance, and reduced damage -in-transit. They expect transportation providers to be flexible and quickly adapt to order changes.
