Using Transport Models to Cut Costs

Abstract

In the present financial climate, the search for cost‐savings is intensifying. Transport and physical distribution are prime areas for examina‐tion, but their complexity often defies standard financial controls. When the transport analyst appears on the scene brandishing a modelling package, there is a temptation to place the problem in his hands. It is timely, therefore, to take stock of the strengths and weaknesses of such methods.
