Working Definition of Supply Chains as Applied by Public Agencies
One of the main objectives of this workshop was to better enable informed discussions of national, state, regional, and multistate freight policy and system investment priorities. To frame the information from the workshop and discussions moving forward, a working definition of the supply chain as it relates to public agencies, an affirmation of the value of supply chain information to this process, and recognition of a broadened analytical view of supply chain freight data is necessary. A supply chain view of the transportation system must collectively consider all aspects of the commodity being shipped. A supply chain view takes a systems perspective that considers the commodity, the value, the volume, the possibility of market shifts, the original source, the ultimate destination, and intermediate routing of products from production to consumption to recycling. It recognizes that freight crosses jurisdictions, modes, industries, and is constantly changing to meet higher service standards and lower cost expectations.
