In today’s globalized economy, the significance of logistics function and especially transportation is apparent.. The course has been developed so as to provide an up-to-date overview of the logistics and transportation planning. We will discuss what logistics flexibility represents and how it can be enhanced in order to meet with specific business goals.
A thorough examination of the transportation environment will demonstrate the importance of understanding all the key players towards the desired customer service levels. Selection of suitable transportation choice depending on specific transport mode characteristics holds a considerable part of the course.
