Transportation Functionality

Transportation Functionality

Transportation functionality means the effectiveness of transportation process or whether the transportation achieves its objective or not. The basic objective of transportation management is movement of products from one place to another. The functionality or utility of transportation can be measured in how small a time the movement of product can be achieved. It also treats as temporary storage for products during the cycle of movement.

Transportation is one of the most visible elements of logistics operations. Customers are accustomised to seeing trucks and trains moving product or parked at a distribution facility. While this experience provides a good visual understanding of transportation elements, it does not allow the necessary depth of knowledge to understand transportation role in logistics operations.
