INTRODUCTION Transportation is the movement of products from one node in the distribution channel to another. Definition:-Transportation is the movement of humans ,animals and goods from one location to another. Transport include air ,land(rail and road),water,cable,pipeline and space.
OBJECTIVE OF TRANSPORTATION Improve port capacity so that ships of greater draft can enter. Put road and ferry transport on a financial basis that is more self sustaining. Improve international transport airport capacity so that larger aircraft can land. Adopt measure to improve transport safety in all modes.
MODES OF TRANSPORTATION AIR TRANSPORT LAND TRANSPORT RAIL TRANSPORT ROAD TRANSPORT WATER TRANSPORT OTHER TRANSPORT
AIR TRANSPORTATION It is the movement of passengers and freight by any conveyance that can sustain controlled flight. Advantages:-Faster fulfillments of customer orders.
