Understanding the Supply Chain Perspective: A Synopsis
This workshop addressed key questions about the collection and public use of data describing the supply chain to measure and assess the performance of the transportation system. These include defining “supply chain” for this purpose, assessing the key public needs for such data, determining what aspects of system performance are most important and appropriate to measure using supply chain data, exploring ways to accomplish that measurement, identifying how the data might be collected, discussing public- and private-sector roles in this process, and outlining a program for collecting and disseminating the data. A group of public- and private-sector stakeholders was gathered to exchange information on the needs and use of supply chain data. The group included private-sector practitioners from various industries that use the multimodal transportation system. Public-sector participants discussed the availability of supply chain applications for public use, as well as potential opportunities and barriers to the acquisition and use of these data at various levels of government.
