The operation of transportation determines the efficiency of moving products. The progress
in techniques and management principles improves the moving load, delivery speed, service
quality, operation costs, the usage of facilities and energy saving. Transportation takes a
crucial part in the manipulation of logistic. Reviewing the current condition, a strong system
needs a clear frame of logistics and a proper transport implements and techniques to link
the producing procedures. The objective of the paper is to define the role of transportation
in logistics for the reference of further improvement. The research was undertaken to assist
logistics managers, researchers and transportation planners to define and comprehend the
basic views of logistics and its various applications and the relationships between logistics
and transportation.
 Role of Transportation in Logistics
A well-functioned mode of transportation helps ensure accurate and fast order fulfillment for a business. The
transportation system in logistics activities can enhance logistics services, reduce operation costs, and promote
quality service. Find out other important roles of transportation in logistics here.

1. Manages Different Processes in Logistics

Be it manufacturing or production, warehouse management or product delivery, everything is dependent on
transportation. The manufacturing hub requires a transportation system to move products to warehouses or
directly to consumers. Additionally, once an order is placed, a quick transportation service is required to move
products from the source origin or warehouse to the end customer.

2. Helps Businesses with Delivery Services

Transportation is an essential service in logistics that links the product suppliers and customers. It is through
the means of transportation that the product is moved from the source to the final destination. A reliable
transportation service helps in the accurate delivery of the product with minimum damage.
A well-handled transportation system helps in sending goods to the right place and at the right time. This
satisfies the demand of customers and brings efficiency.
A good transportation system not only brings quality service to the logistics system but also for the company.
When businesses complete on-time delivery, they gain the trust of their customers and eventually create a
mark for their business.

3. Improves Efficiency of the Logistics Process

The operations associated with transportation determine the efficiency of the logistics process. Techniques and
processes affect the loading of goods, speed of delivery, quality of service, operation costs, and efforts.
Transportation professionals in collaboration with other staff in the supply chain and logistics space ensure that
the product is delivered to customers on time, thus improving the overall efficiency of the logistics process.
 LATEST TECHNOLOGIES ON
LOGISTICS
In the initial period the procurement process in the organization was done by a
separate department on the basis of least price from the supplier. In the next
generation with the advent of IT the e-procurement is done where online
auctions are conducted and strategic relations are forged with good suppliers by
long term contracts and relationships
Planning
In the initial period before the advent of IT, production and distribution planning
was done based on historical data.[8] There was not much linkage with business
planning and production changed with varying demand. However with the
advent of IT planning approach include collaborative planning, forecasting and
replenishment (CPRF). It involves long term commitment to information sharing
for collaborative planning purposes like joint business planning(SKUs, brands) and
financial planning.(sales, inventory, safety stock, pricing, fill rate).
Web-based collaboration
The web-based collaboration application enables to share and collaborate with
supply chain partners on forecasts, replenishment and promotions plans to
deliver the highest level of customer service and profitability
Scheduling:
In the initial period the scheduling was done to improve asset utilization and reduce
manufacturing costs.[1] However with the advent of IT strong linkage is established
between supply chain partners and customers. As such scheduling is done to serve the
customer at the right time.
Inventory management:
In the initial period every department tried to minimize the inventory by transferring
it to the next level of the supply chain.[2] Thus the total inventory cost in the supply
chain was high as there was no transparency of the inventory held in the supply chain.
However with the advent of IT, techniques such as collaborative replenishment and
vendor managed inventory were followed where manufacturer takes the responsibility
to replenish the distributor inventory, resulting in inventory control and access to
demand information.
Logistics and warehouse management :
In the initial period logistics was more manual intensive and there was no visibility of
the movement of goods. [3] However due to the advent of IT and technologies like
RFID and GPS complete visibility in movement of goods is assured resulting into
efficient logistic and warehouse management
Customer service:
In the initial period customer service was only reactive. The complaints or information
was difficult to reach the concerned department and was time consuming process.
However with the advent of IT, customer service is more proactive as it reaches the
customer through internet and takes continuous feedback from them
