Logistics and Transportation
Author: Raja G. KasilingamPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 146155277X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Logistics is a $700 billion industry in the USA and is the second largest employer of college graduates. Logistics costs account for nearly 30% of the sales dollar, and logistics activities are essential to satisfying the ever- changing customer demand in terms of variety and availability. Today the need for cutting edge, sophisticated logistics practices has never been greater. This unique text is squarely focused on the key activities within the functional areas of logistics and transportation, with emphasis placed on the quantitative treatment of the design and planning issues in logistics. In scope, Logistics and Transportation comprehensively covers almost all the elements of the supply chain. Moreover, it includes a number of topics that are generally not covered by most popular logistics texts. These include functional areas such as: vendor selection, inventory models with inventory costs, advanced transportation models, logistics metrics, and latest trends in logistics. The text is primarily designed for use in the classroom by senior undergraduate and graduate-level students. It is also a useful resource for practicing transportation and logistics professionals. Readers will appreciate the references for recommended further reading, related training aids and problem sets given at the end of each chapter, as well as the two comprehensive logistics cases presented at the end of the text.
Statewide Travel Forecasting Models

Category : Traffic estimation
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 358: Statewide Travel Forecasting Models examines statewide travel forecasting models designed to address planning needs and provide forecasts for statewide transportation, including passenger vehicle and freight movements. The report explores the types and purposes of models being used, integration of state and urban models, data requirements, computer needs, resources (including time, funding, training, and staff), limitations, and overall benefits. The report includes five case studies, two that focus on passenger components, two on freight components, and one on both passenger and freight.

Empirical and Analytical Essays on the Relationship Between Inventory and Transportation

Book Description
This dissertation examines the relationship between inventory cost (IC) and transportation cost (TC). The association of the two has been recognized for over a hundred years; accordingly, managers and academics have believed that these costs have offsetting properties such that combinations of inventory and transportation expenditures can be altered to fit different strategic objectives. However, the behavior of this relationship in practice has not been tested. The essays of this dissertation examine this relationship through multiple theoretical lenses and with multiple data sets. Essay 1 examines aggregate IC and TC in the United States from 1960-2009. This period coincides with the recognition of total cost management and the ensuing practice of inventory and transportation tradeoff. Essay 1 provides new insight into the macroeconomic relationship of IC and TC by providing a model of their relationship. Examination reveals distinct differences before and after transportation deregulation in the United States. Essay 2 continues the investigation of the relationship between IC and TC, this time using firm-specific, panel data that spans a five-year period from 2006-2011. Inventory theory is used to identify variables and build a model that forecasts firm inventory. To this base model, TC is added. Findings support the research in Essay 1 by confirming that firms do show indication of balancing IC and TC. Essay 3 examines the use of transportation benchmarking information and how it affects firm performance. Based on information processing theory, the impact of transportation benchmarking information on a firm's ability to reduce transportation cost (TC) is examined. A variable is created that is the ratio of a firm's transportation expenditure to the total transportation expenditure in the benchmarking consortium. Panel data is used to test the impact of this ratio on a firm's ability to reduce transportation costs. Empirical analysis shows that transportation costs are convex in the ratio, and the results support the efficacy of transportation expenditure benchmarking.
