transportation
Air transportation, Air shipment can be done in hours
while the other modes of transportation may take days.
•Fast
•Can’t load much of goods
•Expensive

•Need support from the other transportation
Characteristic of each modes of

Land transportation Highway transportation has
grown fast since the end of World War II
•Flexible
•Cheap
•ability to operate door to door
•have a small fixed investment in terminal facilities
and operate on publicly financed and maintained
roads.
•very flexible because of the ability to operate on
many different roadways.
Characteristic of each modes of
transportation
Rail transportation
•Fast
•Train specification can load commodities or goods in
a big tonnage
•Need support from the other transportation
Characteristic of each modes of
transportation
Pipeline
•Limited commodities or goods that can be load
(types of commodities)
•can be operated in 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
•Limited number of commodities carried on the pipe
diameter
Characteristic of each modes of
transportation
conveyor belt
•can operated everytime
•low fixed cost
•Limited number of commodities that can be
transporting, depending on the width and power of
the engine
Characteristic of each modes of
transportation
cable
•limited, mostly this modes of transportation is
carried for people or something like that, for using in
tourism activities

infrastructure can be either public or private,
depending on the country and mode.
Multimodal
Transportation of goods by using multiple modes of
transport, where’s one carrier organizing the entire
process of transport from the place of origin by one or
more interfaces or transfer point to the destination
Unimoda
Transportation of goods by using one modes
transportation, by one carrier or more than one
carriers.
The five pillars of SCM efficiency
1. Optimise resources
