Transportation as a supply-chain link

Jim Hendrickson’s handbook examines transportation’s role in moving inventory through modern supply chains. It pairs a conceptual overview with practical attention to the changes following U.S. deregulation in 1980 and to the demands global supply chains place on transportation: serving consumers while balancing flexibility, speed, and cost. The book’s subject is the operational connection between transport and the wider supply chain, making it relevant to the business and industry context identified in its description.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a practical introduction to transportation management in supply chains.
  • Business readers interested in how transportation connects global supply chains with consumer demand.
  • Those exploring the effects of deregulation on transportation.
