Logistics Processes connects multi-modal transportation to the wider supply chain function and its many, interlocking components. This course sharpens learners’ ability to optimize the variables that create efficiencies within day-to-day operations while managing operational liabilities and obligations. Whether applied to simple modal choices or complex (multi-carrier/multi-modal) projects, learners will be able to maneuver materials, finished goods and information efficiently through all points and processes before, between and after transportation links.

Building on the detailed study of each transportation mode in the Transportation Systems course, Logistics Processes continues the learning for any professional who wants or needs a more in-depth understanding of the industry. Graduates of both courses are ready for more advanced, management-oriented logistics courses such as Logistics Decision Modeling and Integrated Logistics.
