Transportation management A southern African perspective

The current economic climate, evolving business needs and the introduction of disruptive technologies necessitate the supply chain industry to rethink strategies around transportation management, as it is the structural glue that connects and binds communities to organisations and organisations to economies. Transportation management as a strategic component of the supply chain network ensures that the required material is delivered in the right quantity, and of the right quality, to the right place at the right time. It is dependent on infrastructure, processes and systems, together with human resources, to function successfully within the supply chain industry.
