30 hours course || 4 Modules
Frontline Executives and Mid-Level Managers interested in or working in the transportation and logistics sector.
Transportation cost is a key component of logistic cost and contributes around 40 % of the logistic cost. In India, it is around 6 percent of GDP. An efficient, integrated, and seamless transportation system is the need of the hour to achieve the ambitious growth rate. Network design is fundamental to effective transportation systems. This course will provide the necessary understanding and required knowledge to design a robust transportation system to address the challenges faced by the nation. It is also vital to consider the sustainability aspect of transportation systems. Flawless integration of various transportation modes is another important dimension. Data-driven decisionmaking using ML, AI, and deep learning will immensely help in efficient operations.
- To understand the key requirement of the transportation system.
- To provide the knowledge and expertise to design an integrated transportation network System.
- To implement efficient operations using real-time information and data analytics to reduce cost and delivery time.
