Logistics, Transportation, and Supply Chain Management
The program is designed to produce outstanding professionals in the field of
logistics, transportation, and supply chain management. Logistics and supply
chain management deals with managing the flow of goods from a business firm's
suppliers, through its facilities, and on to its customers. It is of critical
importance in establishing a competitive advantage. Proper performance of the
logistics functions can contribute to both lower costs and enhanced customer
service. While transportation is the heart of logistics, inventory management,
warehousing, order processing, materials handling, packaging, plant and
warehouse location, and customer service are also important logistics
activities. These logistics activities comprise 20 to 30 percent of total costs
for many U.S. businesses. The cost of freight transportation alone is about 8
percent of the nation's annual domestic product.
