Recent studies have shown that transportation is the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. Department of Energy calculated that CO2 emissions from transportation surpassed two billion metric tons ; it’s hard to imagine what that number looks like today. Using a modern transportation management tool that fuses flexibility into distribution networks is effective in creating cleaner, smarter transportation strategies.

While there are many types of visibility (see Figure 1), the most common use case is either sourcing or transportation visibility. The focus is on functional metrics, but are unable to get to overall supply chain metrics. Pictures, images, text, email, sentiment, contracts, documents are all areas of opportunity. However, to use these data sources, we must break paradigms and focus on the use of non-relational techniques. We finished dinner.

For this purpose, we created a new metric that we call “time to survive” (TTS). To determine TTS associated with a specific node, we remove the node from the supply chain and calculate how long — using inventory in the pipeline and other available supply sources — we can serve customer demand without that node. Over the past two years, I’ve written extensively about the growing importance of supply chain risk management and supply chain mapping.
