Abstract

Transportation management is an in between concept which is of an ERP or rather the legacy

order of processing and the warehouse module. In general, a typical scenario would occur

when an inclusion of both inbound aspect as well as the outbound concept are in place. It

bounds the issue of procurement and shipping of goods become part of the evaluation to

provide proper transport management plan as well as an excellent module which will prompt

many suggested routes to solutions. In the aspect making assessments, there is need by the

user to make reasonableness as well as let them pass along into the transportation analysis by

the provider to make a prediction on the solutions. It can be done through selecting solutions

which will typically generate a solution.

Introduction

There is a general importance of having a broad field of research during the time

when one wants to find a solution to the transportation management sector. Many scholars

have come out with many different views on how to establish a working evidence which will

be in use to make a prediction. The transport sector has many channels of involvement which

will tend to offer support to them; it makes an implication of the fact that it poses a challenge

to be able to provide a solution. In this paper, a necessary critical review of three articles will

be made and from which a conclusion on the aspect of transportation management will be

derived.

Article review

The article by James et.al (2013) brings out the notion through a case study where

they establish a substantial information on supply chain which is focusing on lean production

which incorporates the aspect of RFID. The concept of the study brings out the healthy

competition which is in existence of many companies. As well as how they try to ensure that

customers who are the consumers of their services get the best out of it, to meet the demand

of the customers there is the aspect to ensure satisfaction id achieved at the lowest cost

possible. There is a concern on the on the need for the companies to have a development try

to make improvements in the quality of the supply chains as well as simultaneously reducing

the overall operational costs.

The emerging trend which now shifts in is the technology of the use of the RFID; it is

an abbreviation for Radio frequency identification, in general, it has made a huge attraction

on the considerate supply chain sector. Many organizations make a preference of planning to

have an adoption or already have taken a full establishment of the technology to have an

added advantage of the automated as well as efficient business processes. The importance of

this article brings out the concept of the need to plan for the supply and chain department and

with so doing, a proper schedule can be in place this will ease the aspect of management of

the transportation sector.

The other point of the article by Roads (2012), there is an ultimate way the logistics

are on display as well as the contribution to the transport curriculum. He argues that long are

the gone the days when a study which made an initiation of the internal combustion engine

will make a core part in the transportation curriculum. Rather the notion which is an essential

critical aspect and an imperative need is the need to cope with the ever-evolving terms of the

field. One of the greatest need to create a better an illustration to the logistics which are now

in action, the recent advertisements which try to make a clear picture of the need for students

to be able to have right concepts in logistics and transportation curriculum. The article brings

out the thoughts of all the student to be informed of the changes in the transport sector, in

return, it contributes to the management of carriage by instilling knowledge.

According to Toh (2012), brings out the aspect of travel planning, they make a survey

which is in general based on the airline passengers. Who give responses and in turn, the

conclusion from this is that the determination of distribution channels, made a major reason

to why there is a significant percentage in the general search makes individuals convert to the

actual bookings on the same website. The differences on the internet make the users have

some nonusers, and this is taken in the aspect of business and pleasure travelers in place.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the need to have many sectors have an association with the

management of the transportation industry. It is an essential tool to make an eviction to be

able to learn the needs to have a successful management. The carriage of goods as well as

merchandise, make a right approach and coordination in a global aspect across a considerable

improvement from the global logistics costs. Nature and target to make an active

management will by making effective changes in reducing the operational costs while making

the outcome substantial.
