Transportation Systems provides the learner with comprehensive knowledge of the background and current technical information for all the modes of transportation as well as intermodalism. Students will be able to compare the five modes of transportation and identify their strengths and weaknesses. In addition to the transportation modes, students will also gain a foundational understanding of the elements within the distribution chain, specifically warehousing, materials handling, and unitization devices. In addition, the course will introduce the learner to the intermediate agencies (including freight forwarding and transportation brokers) as they relate to the field of transportation.
Economic Influences on Logistics help learners relate economic forces to costing, pricing and operating logistics operations within a business enterprise. Learners will gain a deeper understanding of macroeconomic trends, government intervention, and how to capitalize on microeconomic levers. And they’ll know how to use that knowledge to make seemingly uncontrollable influences on supply chain profitability much more predictable—and survivable.
Economic Influences on Logistics is recommended for buyers or suppliers of transportation services or anyone involved in pricing decisions, supply planning, demand or supply-chain capacity management.
Prerequisites: Transportation Systems and Logistics Processes
Recommended: Introductory Economics or equivalent
