Series: Cornerstones of Public Procurement

Managing Logistics and Transportation in the Public Sector, Second Edition thoroughly examines the world of transportation as it relates to public procurement, stressing the importance of not only procuring the right goods, materials, and services, but also ensuring their proper delivery to their final destination. Designed to educate the public procurement professional on ways to realize enhanced cost savings, it offers an introduction to the history of transportation, as well as industry terminology and accepted practices. Authors Darin Matthews and Linda Stanley explore recent transportation industry evolutions, including the development of important technologies like package tracing, delivery notification, and drone delivery, and ways to successfully integrate this technology. Sustainability in transportation—including product packaging, material reuse, and reduced emissions for delivery vehicles— is likewise examined. Through the use of case studies and transportation industry resources, Managing Logistics and Transportation in the Public Sector, Second Edition offers a complete package for professionals looking to enhance their knowledge of logistics and transportation, as well as for university courses on transportation, supply chain management, and public procurement.

Reviews for Managing Logistics and Transportation in the Public Sector

"""The authors cover a vital but often poorly-understood issue in the public sector. Their book covers considerable ground, taking the reader from the basics of logistics and transport, through to complex issues and current challenges such as technology and sustainability. Throughout, the writing is clear, insightful and well-referenced, with useful and relevant case studies."" - Peter Smith, CIPS Past President, ex-CPO and Business Author"
