Operations Priorities in Transportation and Logistics

This IDC Market Perspective examines operations priorities in the transportation and logistics industry. "Although not new, the importance of operational efficiency in transportation and logistics may be at an all-time high, driven by inflationary pressures and fuel costs. Consistent problems with driver shortages, particularly during peak seasons, means companies must optimize their people resources to the highest degree possible. Metrics for efficiency, people productivity, and asset performance 'rule the roost' for this industry," says Simon Ellis, Group VP for Manufacturing and Supply Chain, IDC.
