How to choose the best transportation with supply chain
1.
2. Transport is the most obvious of all the functions of logistics and logistics services to contribute to the high costs. We can see the trucks and containers and vehicles loaded with the material being transported from one place to another activity directly associated with trade and business. We should also appreciate that this activity is to add as much of the cost of the activity of making inputs and outputs available to consumers. Transfer the job of delivering products to meet customer expectations at the lowest cost possible.
5. What is being transferred? Raw materials and semi-finished items, finished goods and packaging materials, and rejected materials - do not have to move up or down in the supply chain. How is this done? What resources are used? Resources used by the means of transport:
6. time-locked: the product even while in transit, and therefore can not be accessed. We have to spend a positive amount of time in the transfer of materials. Resource time [time] resources that are spent in the field of transport. During that time the product is locked up costs incurred in relation to time.
7. Finance: a number of cost elements such as administrative costs, salaries, and payment of maintenance costs. Loss at the expense of loss and damage resulting also needs to be destiny. Spent fuel and at great cost in transportation.
8. Environmental - This activity is a car consuming fuel, eat natural fuel such as oil, directly and indirectly. Creates congestion and air pollution and noise pollution. Environmental costs of tangible and intangible to a large extent. Are also used to transport time and financial and environmental must be the terms of the transfer of resources only when they are enhancing the value of the product.

10. When storage space is limited epidemic. [The situation when inventory levels are too high]
13. It is known that the transport cost per unit also comes the greater part of the terms of the transfer increases. And then in order to obtain benefits in the reduction of logistics costs of transportation try to unite the bulk cargo ship and then instead of half a cargo or cargo container half. This benefit is an economy of scale.
15. Transportation cost per mile down also increases the distance moved. Hence, it is to be transferred in one long lap instead of the number of laps short to reach the destination. Spread these fixed costs and overhead costs such as loading and unloading over the distance through which the cargo is transferred.When assessing alternative strategies to meet the expectations of the transfer of customer service, economies of scale and economy from a distance of essential.
16. Who is involved in the decisions of transportation? Normal commercial transaction and a limited number of Parties to the business decision. Are the seller, the buyer, directly or indirectly the government. But the decision to transport and a number of parties in the decision. These parties have very important roles to play in the environment and transport. Parties to decide transport those who have an interest in transportation. Are as follows:
17. Shipper: Shipper is the party who wishes to transfer the goods to his clients in commercial transactions.
20. The government has a role to play as it is interested in the field of transport and has an interest in it. Transport makes the work that occurs is essential to the economy in any society. Economic prosperity of the society is the goal of the Government of the day. The government also collects taxes on the transaction. Government is the public who have an interest in protecting.
21. The general public is a party to another has a large share in the transaction, which involves the means of transport. The public wants goods produced in different regions of the country not only, but in the world. Cannot be achieved without their demand for transport.
23. The shipper and the consignee: Predictable and the minimum for each of the transit time, cost, and taxes, pick-up and delivery dates, zero losses and damages, and the exchange of timely information and billing. These are the needs of the parties mentioned above. They look at transportation from this angle. Are the basic elements of the transfer? Start their business the need to transport.
24. Carrier: Why does he want? Maximize revenue and cost of employment [and fuel and vehicle costs, and minimize the tax]. Flexibility in pick-up and delivery dates to promote the movement. Carrier facilitates trade between the shipper and the consignee. He gets for his service. And adds value to the supply chain through the transfer of material from the supplier to the client. Strike by transport companies in our country is a recurrent phenomenon to protest against the role of government. Government: the government, while he was playing for the exercise of control over the role of all players. They want to work in prosperity, at the same time to access the benefits of uniformity in all parts of the country. It also has to provide the infrastructure necessary to support and transport. It is said that one of the reasons that accelerate the disintegration of the Soviet Union and poor infrastructure at the expense of products that cannot be transferred to remote areas of the country. Hunger-related deaths in India, although self-sufficiency in food production examples to illustrate the interest of the government. The government controls the price of the carrier and licenses. Government and service units the carrier is probably the cheapest option available means of transport for business. Government support and means of transport through the provision of a network of roads, airports and air traffic control, ports and harbors. The government wants taxes to support the above activities in the national interest. In the end consumer, and the general public, bear the burden of taxes.
26. Public transport activity as consumers moves by demanding products and services of high quality from all over the world at the lowest cost possible. Have worried about the safety and incidents of this type have been various products and goodbye to the transfer. Environmental degradation is another threat for the year for which we are concerned and transport is the main reason for many of these concerns. For instance, deterioration of the atmosphere, water, and high levels of noise, oil spills due to tanker carrying a cargo of crude oil. When these parties that have interest separate and distinct environment interaction and transport was created. Conflicts of interest raise issues that interrupt the smooth transport of goods in the country. Government: the main steps to resolve these differences in the interest of work.

28. It allows for faster delivery in long-haul destinations.
29. Air freight transport is not affected by the terrain. The data indicate that the transport of goods in the market continues to grow. There is a view of the directions of global markets and logistics and air cargo also to change their services. Future directions for the development of airfreight, and integration with other transport modes, and the internationalization of the coalition, and the integration of the airlines and the pattern of the future of logistics, and air freight to cooperate with other modes of transport. Such as sea and land transport, to provide service on the base just in time, and transport from door to door. CITATION YUE05 1033 (YUE, TSENG, & TAYLOR, 2005)

31. Elements of transport infrastructure • Terminal facilities - Free as well as maintaining the discharge facilities, space for movement of vehicles, platforms, rail yards • cars, trucks, ships and vehicles depending on the situation. On the size, shape and speed • The right to traffic in the direction and to move forward. Rails, roads, airlines and restrictions on speed and weight, height, etc. If we use this section in particular. • Engine Prime Minister - in the force of moving the car from a lack of transportation which has a serious impact on the means of transport. Decreases in the number of locomotives good weaken the benefit of the railway as a mode of transport. • Carrier organizations - service providers and transport in the area of business. And the transfer of their core business. Good service and provides a vital incentive for business and trade. Railways, roads, airlines, shipping lines and service providers.
