Transportation management in today's consumer goods industry can be
characterized by a high proportion of outsourced transportation
services. Due to rising freight costs consumer goods manufacturers
are seeking opportunities to increase the efficiency of their
transportation network. This book presents an operational
transportation planning problem typical of the consumer goods
industry focusing on a network of suppliers, production facilities
and warehouses. With respect to the large share of outsourcing in
these networks a detailed analysis of freight costs based on
contractual agreements is provided. From this analysis a number of
opportunities for efficiency gains are identified and consolidated
in an operative transportation planning problem that is numerically
investigated. Furthermore, an overview of processes and
organizational requirements in transportation management is given
with special focus on the integration of existing commercial
Transportation Management Systems (TMS).
