MASTERCLASS SERIES

Science-based transportation logistics

with Dr. Angela Acocella
From freight procurement to transport execution, learn how to optimize your logistics based on data and scientific research.

Shippers and carriers continue to face major challenges due to a variety of uncertainties plaguing the transportation and logistics industry. The capacity shortage lingers, and it’s difficult to predict when demand for capacity will arise. Truck availability is never guaranteed, let alone that they’re in the right place at the right time. And as for external market conditions – the situation is rough, impacted continuously by today’s geo-political landscape and destabilised global economy.  

In pursuit of less imbalance and more stability, greater efficiency and lower costs, we’ve gathered the experts together for a masterclass series led by Dr Angela Acocella, Researcher at Tilburg University and the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, and designed to support you with optimising your logistics operations – from freight procurement, to transport execution – based on data and scientific research. You’ll learn:

Available

  • Episode 1: A portfolio approach to freight procurement.

  • Episode 2: Lane analysis and segmentation for the perfect assignment mix. 

COMING SOON

  • Episode 3: Data analysis and technology solutions for smart freight procurement and assignment.

EPISODE 2

Lane analysis and segmentation for the perfect assignment mix

You’ve applied a portfolio approach to freight procurement, your contracts are in place and shipments materialising. But now you are faced with the billion-dollar question... 

As a logistics manager, how do you segment your lanes and assign them between contract and spot to optimise results? 

Join the second episode of our Masterclass Series ‘Science-based transportation logistics’, to find out. Dr Angela Acocella of Tilburg University and the MIT will be joined by Jan Rzehak, Director Business Consulting at Transporeon, to discuss: 

  • How performance indicators, price, demand patterns, age of contract, day of the week, lead time and even facilities play a role in lane analysis 

  • Evidence-based methods for lane segmentation 

  • How technology can help you optimise your assignment mix

EPISODE 1
