Transportation Master Planning
What Is It?
Chainalytics' Transportation Master Planning services can help you evaluate your existing operations, factor client's ever-increasing service demands, and design a high performance transportation network that improves your competitiveness. Transportation Master Planning combines Chainalytics' deep domain expertise with the effective use of advanced decision sciences technology to refine your transportation strategy, optimize overall transportation design, and considerably reduce overall transportation costs while improving service levels. We help clients in four key areas:
- Evaluate the effectiveness of existing operations
- Design the best transportation network
- Simulate shifts in transportation strategy
- Optimize the use of private or dedicated fleets
What Do We Do?
Chainalytics provides leading transportation modeling analysis through our unique combination of advanced decision sciences technology, proven methodologies, and seasoned transportation team. Within our collaborative process, we will help you make decisions regarding your transport operations and offer alternatives to reduce costs and improve service levels. We can help you achieve optimal results with an improved transportation strategy that identifies the best mix of modes, services, and assets for each combination of lane and service requirements.
The Transportation Master Planning service allows your company to achieve the optimal transportation by optimizing transportation network decisions such as:
- Private vs. dedicated fleet size and equipment options
- Continuous moves and backhauls
- Freight consolidation strategies
- Evaluation of hubs / pooled consolidation / cross-docking
- Modal mix
- Trade-offs between quality of service and cost
Can Transportation Master Planning improve your operations? We can help you more effectively answer these questions:
- Should I use a private or dedicated fleet? If so, how big should it be? Which modes and services should I use?
- Could adjustments to my current operational practices reduce overall transportation costs?
- What is the value of: greater shipping visibility, developing drop-and-hook program, or changing order lead lines or shipping requirements?
- Are there opportunities for continuous moves within my network?
- How will my network be impacted if I add new customers or lanes? How will my costs change if my overall volume increases or decreases?
- What if a major change happens to my delivery options? What if a key facility (hub, port, road, etc.) is unavailable for an extended period of time?
- Can I improve my overall load efficiency by using pool points or multi-stop consolidation strategies?
Is It Right For You?
You are an ideal candidate for conducting transportation modeling analysis if your company has a large, complex network and is looking to:
- Evaluate modal shifts to improve cost and service levels
- Consider the viability of cross-docking, pooling, or consolidation strategies
- Improve utilization of existing private or dedicated fleet assets or considering adding fleet assets
- Understand and mitigate the impact of rate increases driven by fuel prices, driver shortages, and other skyrocketing costs
- Shift operations from field locations to a centralized, load control center
- Deal with a recent or planned merger / acquisition
- Expand into new geographic markets
