LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Quality transportation information flowing multi directionally between and among supply chain
partners provides decision support for strategic, tactical, and operational planning and execution.
2. Transformation information generation and flow depends on transportation software.
3. Transportation software investment requires assessment of internal requirements, understanding
software capabilities and purchase options, and effective implementation.
4. The latest transportation equipment technology provides more sustainable operations, enhanced
safety, and greater cargo security.
5. Emerging transportation technology such as autonomous vehicles, blockchain, and next-generation
TMS will drive future delivery efficiency and effectiveness improvements.
