It’s your job to oversee the logistics of your company’s upcoming project. This is a major undertaking with a lot of moving pieces.
That said, you can’t afford to miss a single detail if you hope to avoid delays and maintain the budget you’ve set. If you don’t have much experience organizing and managing a transportation project though, this can be an intimidating undertaking.
In the end, there are three phases to every successful transportation project. These phases are:
- Pre-transportation planning — the activities you prioritize before your project starts.
- Transportation project management — what you need to oversee, arrange and keep track of to keep your shipments moving.
- Post-project review — when you organize and analyze your project’s performance outcomes to draw conclusions and make future optimization decisions.
Within them, each phase has specific sub-tasks you’ll want to complete to ensure your project runs smoothly.
While your exact process from beginning to end may fluctuate slightly, use this roadmap when you have questions about what absolutely has to get done before, during and after your project.
