Automating Transportation Planning

Transportation Planning is one of the key functions in a Supply Chain system, which goes on to define the operational efficiency and optimal utilization of resources. The Planner's experience drives the effectiveness of manual planning. In the case of system-based planning, the effectiveness of planning is driven by the Rules Setup, Transportation Network (Routes & Hubs) & the Resource Profiles. This is where TMS software and Transportation Management System come into play.

In the day-to-day life of a planner, every morning starts with a list of orders to be planned for the day, prioritization of the orders, availability check of the resources, procurement of market resources, and delivery schedule. These action items consume the planner's critical time at the start of the day. An efficient Transportation Management System (TMS) should handle all of the above and more on its own without the interference of the planner.
