different technology.

In this project report we have include various concepts effects and

implication and regarding for goods transportation management.

Doing this project report helped us to enhance our knowledge regarding

the work into the management system. Through this report we come to
know about importance of online management system and role of
devotion towards the work.
Goods transportation management system

A transportation management system (TMS) is a subset of supply chain

management concerning transportation operations and may be part of an enterprise
resource planning system.

A TMS usually "sits" between an ERP or legacy order processing and

warehouse/distribution module. A typical scenario would include both inbound
(procurement) and outbound (shipping) orders to be evaluated by the TMS
Planning Module offering the user various suggested routing solutions. These
solutions are evaluated by the user for reasonableness and are passed along to the
transportation provider analysis module to select the best mode and least cost
provider. Once the best provider is selected, the solution typically generates
electronic load tendering and track/trace to execute the optimized shipment with
the selected carrier, and later to support freight audit and payment (settlement
process). Links back to ERP systems (after orders turned into optimal shipments),
and sometimes secondarily to WMS programs also linked to ERP are also
common.

Fundamentals of Transportation/Introduction

Transportation moves people and goods from one place to another using a variety
of vehicles across different infrastructure systems. It does this using not only
technology (namely vehicles, energy, and infrastructure), but also peoples time
and eort; producing not only the desired outputs of passenger trips and freight
shipments, but also adverse outcomes such as air pollution, noise, congestion,
crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

Figure 1 illustrates the inputs, outputs, and outcomes of transportation. In the upper
left are traditional inputs (infrastructure (including pavements, bridges, etc.), labor
required to produce transportation, land consumed by infrastructure, energy inputs,
and vehicles). Infrastructure is the traditional preserve of civil engineering, while
vehicles are anchored in mechanical engineering. Energy, to the extent it is
powering existing vehicles is a mechanical engineering question, but the design of
systems to reduce or minimize energy consumption require thinking beyond
traditional disciplinary boundaries.

On the top of the gure are Information, Operations, and Management, and
Travelers Time and Eort. Transportation systems serve people, and are created by
people, both the system owners and operators, who run, manage, and maintain the
system and travelers who use it. Travelers time depends both on freeow time,
which is a product of the infrastructure design and on delay due to congestion,
which is an interaction of system capacity and its use. On the upper right side of
the gure are the adverse outcomes of transportation, in particular its negative
externalities:

by polluting, systems consume health and increase morbidity and mortality;

by being dangerous, they consume safety and produce injuries and fatalities;

by being loud they consume quiet and produce noise (decreasing quality of life and
property values); and

by emitting carbon and other pollutants, they harm the environment.

All of these factors are increasingly being recognized as costs of transportation, but
the most notable are the environmental eects, particularly with concerns about
global climate change. The bottom of the gure shows the outputs of
transportation. Transportation is central to economic activity and to peoples lives,
it enables them to engage in work, attend school, shop for food and other goods,
and participate in all of the activities that comprise human existence. More
transportation, by increasing accessibility to more destinations, enables people to
better meet their personal objectives, but entails higher costs both individually and
socially. While the transportation problem is often posed in terms of congestion,
that delay is but one cost of a system that has many costs and even more benefits.
Further, by changing accessibility, transportation gives shape to the development of
land.

Licensing

These systems have been offered with different types of licensing arrangements.
The four main offerings are:

1. On-premises licensing (traditional purchased license)

 2. Hosted licensing (remote, SaaS, Cloud)

3. On-premises hosted licensing (a blend of 1 and 2)

4. Hosted - TMS free of licensing (same as 2 but free with no license requirements)

Additionally, some software providers were either acquired or merged with supply
chain management consultancies and started offering shippers "blended" managed
and software services as an outsourced process. Primary Tier 1 TMS providers are
still independent, carrier and 3PL neutral, and ERP neutral. While ERP providers
are moving to improve their on-premises transportation management offerings by
adding TMS modules to their existing, implemented base, the advent of Software-
as-a-Service or "SaaS" delivery resulted in a surge of emerging TMS providers.

Functionalities

Transportation management systems manage four key processes of transportation

management:

1. Planning and decision making TMS will define the most efficient transport
schemes according to given parameters, which have a lower or higher
importance according to the user policy: transport cost, shorter lead-time, fewer
stops possible to ensure quality, flows regrouping coefficient, etc.

2. Transportation Execution TMS will allow for the execution of the

transportation plan such as carrier rate acceptance, carrier dispatching, and EDI.

3. Transport follow-up TMS will allow following any physical or

administrative operation regarding transportation: traceability of transport event
by event (shipping from A, arrival at B, customs clearance, etc.), editing of
 reception, custom clearance, invoicing and booking documents, sending of
transport alerts (delay, accident, non-forecast stops.)

4. Measurement TMS have or need to have a logistics key performance

indicator (KPI) reporting function for transport.

Various functions of a TMS include:

Planning and optimizing of terrestrial transport rounds

Inbound and outbound transportation mode and transportation provider

selection

Management of motor carrier, rail, air and maritime transport

Real time transportation tracking

Service quality control in the form of KPIs (see below)

Vehicle Load and Route optimization

Transport costs and scheme simulation

Shipment batching of orders

Cost control, KPI (Key performance indicators) reporting and statistics

Freight Audit[1]

o Typical KPIs include but not limited to:

 1. % of On Time Pick Up or Delivery Performance relative to
requested

2. Cost Per Metric - mile; km; weight; cube; pallet

3. Productivity in monetary terms, e.g., cost per unit weight or

shipping unit

4. Productivity in operational terms, e.g., shipping units/order or

weight/load

However, all the above logistical functions need to be scrutinized as to how each
parameter functions.

Patents

Several specific patents have been filed to protect the intellectual property rights of
US TMS development corporations. However, judgments against several non-US
software companies in 2009, 2010 and 2012 had not been unenforceable as of
2014.

The largest number of TMS patents were filed by IBM, SAP, Manhattan
Associates, TheFreeTMS.com, Oracle, JDA, and Sterling. Each holds over 15
patents protecting various aspects of their technology.

TMS products serve as the logistics management hub in a collaborative network of

shippers, carriers and customers. Common TMS software modules include route
planning and optimization, load optimization, execution, freight audit and
payment, yard management, advanced shipping, order visibility and carrier
management.

The business value of a fully deployed TMS should achieve the following goals:

Reduce costs through better route planning, load optimization, carrier mix
and mode selection.

Improve accountability with visibility into the transportation chain.

Provide greater flexibility to make changes in delivery plans.

Complete key supply chain execution requirements.

As we know every transport sector has its own paper work which can be done by
the company employee. There also the same term in company.

The transaction is done manually in old system.

Operation become very time consuming, difficult to handle, not reliable as

there are majority chance of error occurring.

Major loss of data due to manual operation.

Time consuming in calculating big amount and can lead to error in the total.

Retrieving records of company is difficulty.

LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Transport means it has lots of paper work in there branches.

 The company has its own software but company doesnt have any software
for his branches .

So the company branch has no computer records for its paper work.

The major limitation of the current system is that all the transaction are
performed manually.

PRESENT SYSTEM IS BASED ON A FILE MANAGEMENT MEANS ON A

PAPER & EXCELL SHEETS.

The manually work such as reading entry of item details, bill calculation etc. were
done manually in the register and bill books. So it is more complicated to find
particular detail from the register.

Due to manual work existing system is very time consuming and there is
always a chance of error so that it is not much reliable.

All billing calculation done by calculator/EXCELL SHEETS which may

also generate an error.

Remembering all the rates and quantity of each item is very difficult for this
they have to turn over the page of the register/SHEETS.

Due to this limitation there has a need of a system which could solve the problem
& ENHANCE THEIR BUSINESS.

THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

System should be window based, user friendly, and efficient.

 System security must be implemented by preventing unauthorized access to
it.

Appropriate master table mast be present to record relevant data.

Security feature must exist in the system.

Report should be generated for the following :-

1. Vehicle Report.

2. Employee Report.

3. Customer Report.

4. Bill Report.

ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM

This system has been developed to be simple and user friendly.

Hence, even a non-technical user can use the system effectively and without
any difficulty.

Other benefits are as follows:-

It is upgradeable. Hence further enhancement to the system is possible.

The system is capable of generating the necessary report.

The system maintains speed and accuracy with eye-catching GUI.

 It take care of database security by restricting unauthorized access to the
system
