Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course focuses on transportation as an essential logistics activity within the supply chain process. As such, we will discuss transportation planning in order to ensure an effective and productive implementation; and, provide an understanding of practical rules and improvement methods in the context of logistics-transportation interaction.
Course Content: At the end of this course the students will be able to;

• Recognize place of transportation in economy and society and recognize the effects in nature and environment
• Analyze interaction of transportation with other activities in logistics and supply chain
• Define practical outcomes of transportation demand and elasticity of this subject relative to price and income
• Know about reflections of practices of “derivative demand” and as an interim multi-discipline and versatile service, transportation
• Analyze transportation demand and know about importance of setting up required capacity and points to consider in this issue
• Identify basic principals of transportation modes in particular for logistics and determine how it is selected
• Know about operations in business process and physical,instutional and legal infrastructure for all transportation modes
• Know about required practical information for transportation goals in light of acquired knowledge
• Acquire required knowledge for be able to follow developments in transportation
• Recognize transportation planning
• Knowledge and views about required ethical principals in transportation
