Event Details

Transportation moves goods and services across geographic lines, between where products are produced and where they are consumed, while allowing for competitive growth. At home and abroad, advances in transportation through technology and design have broadened the markets for both domestic and international competition. The wider a product's distribution and the greater its demand, the more manufacturers can leverage transportation's economies of cost. Logistics professionals are responsible for moving inventory throughout the firm's supply chain and to the firm's customers. They can use a combination of private and purchased transportation services with access to various modes of transportation, offering flexible solutions for transporting product from origin to destination.


SESSION 1: Transportation Fundamentals

SESSION 2: Modes of Transportation

SESSION 3: Transportation Management
