Sgouris Sgouridis MIT Planning for Freight: An Analytic Approach to Integrating Supply Chain Management and Regional Strategic Transportation Planning

Divider!

 

A system’s perspective in regional strategic transportation planning (RSTP) for freight movements involves an understanding of the Supply Chain. Not only that but the success of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in optimizing business performance shows that it is possible to transfer lessons learned from one to the other. The private and the public sector have different agendas and planning horizons but at the same time may have common interests in the region that involve economic robustness, environmental health, and social cohesiveness – what is known as sustainability. This paper investigates how the two areas overlap and how lessons and practices from SCM can affect transportation planning and vice versa. Analysis is conducted using the CLIOS process.
