Transportation
Transportation refers to the movement of product from one location to another as it makes its way from the beginning of supply chain to the customer.
Transportation is an important supply chain driver because products are rarely produced and consumed in the same location.
![Page 3: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Role of Transportation in Logistics
In 2009, as a percentage of sales, transportation was 3.24%, warehousing 1.84%, customer service 0.48%,
administration 0.38%, and carrying cost 1.52%.
Outbound transportation was clearly the largest
component of total physical distribution costs.
Cost trade-offs abound in transportation and are typified
by trading lower inventory costs for higher transportation
costs.

The Transport Selection Decision
Firms need to recognize that the lowest cost carrier does not necessarily guarantee that this carrier will result in the lowest landed cost.
Therefore, firms need to keep the big picture in mind when attempting to select a carrier.

Modes of Transportation
![Page 10: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Railroads
Capable of carrying a wide variety of products, much more so that other modes.
Very small number of carriers; likely only one will be able to serve any one customer location.
Trend is to merge smaller companies into larger ones with ultimate goal of having perhaps two
transcontinental rail carriers.
![Page 11: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Railroads
Rail is a long haul, large volume system (high fixed costs; own rights-of-way).
Accessibility can be a problem.
Transit times are spotty, but are generally long.
Reliability and safety are improving and are
generally good.
![Page 12: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Motor Carriers
The motor carrier industry is characterized by a large number of small firms.
Low cost of entry causes these large numbers.
Used by almost all logistics systems and account
for 82 percent of U.S. freight expenditures.
Consists of for-hire and private carriers.
![Page 13: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Motor Carriers
Characterized by low fixed costs and high variable costs.
Do not own their rights-of-way.
Limited operating authority regarding service
areas, routes, rates and products carried.
![Page 14: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Motor Carriers
High accessibility
Transit times faster than rail or water.
Reliability can be affected greatly by weather.
Small vehicle size coincides with lower inventory strategies and quick replenishment (QR).
Relatively high cost compared to rail and water; trade-off is faster service.
![Page 15: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Water Carriers
Relatively low cost mode; do not own the rights-of-way.
Typically a long distance mover of low value, bulk-type mineral, agricultural and forest
products
Low rates but long transit times
Low accessibility but high capability
![Page 16: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Water Carriers
General cargo ships
Large high capacity cargo holds
Engaged on a contract basis
Many have self-contained cranes for loading/unloading
Tankers
Specially designed for liquid cargoes
Largest vessels afloat, some VLCCs at 500k+ tons
![Page 17: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Water Carriers
Container ships
High speeds for ships; increasingly more common
and important
Larger vessels can handle up to 5,000 containers.
RO-RO (Roll on-Roll off)
Basically a large ferry that facilitates the loading and unloading process by using drive on/off ramps
May also have the capacity to haul containers
![Page 18: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Air Carriers
Limited number of large carriers earn about 90% of the revenue.
Any of the air carriers can carry air freight although some haul nothing but freight.
Cost structure is highly variable; do not own rights-of-way.
Transit times are fastest of the modes, but rates are highest.
![Page 19: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Air Carriers
Average revenue per ton mile 18 times higher than rail; twice that of motor carriers.
Seek goods with a high value to weight ratio.
Accessibility is low as is capability.
Reliability subject to weather more than other
modes.
![Page 20: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pipelines
Unique mode of transportation as the equipment is fixed in place and the product moves through it in high volume.
They can move large quantities of certain types of commodities, mainly fluids, over long distances at relatively
low cost.
The operations are dependable and continuous.
Not suitable for general transportation.
![Page 21: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pipelines Advantages
They are insensitive to surface conditions such as storms, inclement weather, etc.
High fixed versus low variable. Operating costs are low.
They are environmentally friendly.
Own rights-of-way much like the railroads.
Accessibility is very low.
![Page 22: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pipelines Projects
Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project of 27755Km. proposed to deliver the natural gas from Iran to Pakistan &
India.
Cost of the project – US $7 billion.

Legal Classifications of Carriers
![Page 26: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Common CarrierFor-hire carrier that serves the general public at
reasonable rates and without discrimination.
Carrier is liable for damages to products carried.
Exceptions to liability include acts of God, acts of
the public enemy, acts of the shipper and defects inherent in the goods.
Backbone of the transportation industry.
![Page 27: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Regulated Carrier
Regulated carriers are found in motor and water carriage.
Regulations including entry controls, reasonable rates, and nondiscrimination provisions.
Must provide safe and adequate service.
![Page 28: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Contract Carriers
For-hire carrier that does not have to serve the general
public.
May serve one or a few shippers exclusively.
May offer specialized equipment.
Other aspects of the carrier/shipper relationship are
made a part of the contract between the two parties.
Rates usually lower than common or regulated carriers.
![Page 29: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Private Carriers
Private carriage is the firm’s own transportation.
Not for-hire and not subject to Federal regulations.
May not be the firm’s primary business but can charge
a intracompany fee for transportation services.
Almost exclusively motor, but some rail, air and water
also exist.
![Page 30: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Private Carriers
Firms gain ultimate control over shipments and achieve maximum flexibility in moving goods.
Backhauls are usually empty or return materials to the firm’s plants and/or warehouses.
Requires a large capital investment.
Requires management time and expertise.
![Page 31: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Inter Modal Transportation
![Page 32: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Intermodal Transportation
Refers to use of two or more modes of transportation cooperating on the movement of shipment by publishing a through rate.
Logistics managers are looking for the best way to move shipments and these often attempt to take advantage of multiple modes of transportation, each of which has certain useful characteristics.
Certain types have been fairly well developed, such as rail/water, motor/water, rail/motor, and motor/air.
![Page 33: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Types of Intermodal Services
![Page 34: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Intermodal Transportation:
Containerization Referred to as Container-on-Flat-Car (COFC)
Goods are placed in a large box, where they are untouched until they arrive at the consignee's unloading dock.
Reduces theft, damage, multiple handling costs and intermodal transfer time.
Changes materials handling from labor intensive to capital intensive and may reduce costs from 10 to 20%.
![Page 35: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Containerization
Land bridge” concept may apply for international shipments where oceans are separated by a large land
mass.
For example, containers moving from Japan to Europe
may dock at Long Beach, CA, transfer the containers to a
railroad, and reload the containers onboard another ship
in Norfolk, VA., continuing on to a European port.
![Page 36: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Intermodal Transportation: Piggyback
Trailer-on-Flat-Car (TOFC)
Over the road trailers ride in special rail cars.
Takes advantage of motor flexibility and rail’s
long haul economic advantage.
Trailers loaded by driving, crane hoisting, or fork-
lift hoisting.
![Page 37: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
RoadRailers
Newest concept referred to as a “RoadRailer”
Essentially a trailer that has been reinforced to ride on a rail bogey and be
coupled together directly without first
being placed on a rail flat car
Saves weight and locomotive power and
thus fuel for the railroad
![Page 38: Transportation Management](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032700/55d1dc3dbb61eb5e328b47ad/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Indirect and Special Carriers
Small-Package Carriers
Evolved to carry small, irregular shipments
Fast service, premium rates
examples are UPS, FedEx, RPS, etc.
Consolidators and Freight Forwarders
Consolidates many small shipments
