Transport Planning and Optimisation: A Free Guide

Transport planning, optimisation and execution are about minimising cost to meet a required level of service. Keeping costs low and customer satisfaction high is a trade-off, with the latter usually having priority and thus limiting the former.

This free guide from Touchstar partner Logistics Planning Consultants will cover the areas that need to be looked at to minimise transport costs and is designed for companies that need to expand, review or optimise their transport and distribution networks.

Every company has different needs and requirements to get their products to the customer, and many operate in dynamic and changing environments. Transport is also but one link in a company’s supply chain. A guide on transport planning and transport logistics therefore has a very wide field to cover. To help navigate you through this field, the guide is split into five sections.

  1. Levels of Service
  2. Fleet sizes and profiles
  3. Other Considerations
  4. Network Design
  5. Outsourcing
