Transport small packages, typically under 150 pounds, quickly and reliably.

Shipping method with low fixed costs for larger shipments, focused on full truckloads.

Shipping of small lots using a hub and spoke system; may take longer than TL.

Using more than one mode of transport for a shipment; relies on container usage.

Transport method primarily used for liquids like crude oil and natural gas; high fixed cost.

Movement of products from one location to another within a supply chain.

Different methods like air, truck, rail, water, and pipeline used to transport goods.

Total value of freight transported in different modes, measured in billions of dollars.

Expenses associated with air transport, such as infrastructure, labor, and fuel costs.

Challenges faced in air transport, including hub locations, fleet assignment, and maintenance.

The process of planning how goods are moved through various sites and routes.

A transport method where goods are sent straight to one specific destination without stops.

A delivery strategy where a vehicle collects from multiple suppliers or delivers to multiple buyers on one trip.

A logistics practice where products are moved directly from inbound to outbound shipping without long-term storage.

A central hub where goods are stored before being distributed to various locations.

Shipping method without intermediate warehouses, which is simple to coordinate but results in high inventories.

Balancing transportation costs against inventory costs and customer responsiveness to find the best solution.

A transportation strategy that customizes choices based on specific product and store needs, increasing complexity.

A ranking system that evaluates transportation modes from lowest (1) to highest (6) based on performance criteria like cost and time.

A strategy that reduces safety inventories while potentially increasing transportation costs, primarily used when inventory costs are significant.

The relationship between transportation costs and customer responsiveness, where higher responsiveness leads to higher costs.

Using different transportation networks and methods based on specific customer and product needs to optimize efficiency.

Combining orders across time periods to reduce transportation costs while potentially affecting delivery speed.

Methods of transporting goods based on customer density and distance.

Utilizes private fleets for high density; third-party for medium and low density.

Requires LTL carriers for low density and third-party milk runs for medium density.

Methods for managing inventory based on product value and demand levels.

Disaggregate cycles for high value products and use inexpensive transport for replenishment.
