In this research, we investigate how carrier assignment methods impact available capacity and pricing. In the lane robustness study we examine how shipment volumes on specific lanes affect price escalation. We also study the role of brokers and asset based carriers in capacity creation process. In addition, we examine lane...
This project explores how a shipper’s fuel surcharge (FSC) program affects its per-load transportation cost in the United States truckload (TL) transportation industry. We built a cost model using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis to quantify the effect of an FSC program on transportation cost. We controlled for well...
In this research, we examined the behavior of transportation costs during supply chain complexity events, in particular, new product launches in the distribution network of an FMCG manufacturer. We analyzed the cost-to-serve a customer in the network, recommended a method for picking the lowest transport cost factory and analyzed how...

This project evaluates the financial implications to shippers and motor carriers in the United States truckload (TL) transportation industry of modifying the compensation structure of fuel surcharges. Fuel surcharges (FSCs) are contracts added as addendums to payment of service (called the line-haul rate in the transportation industry) that enable the...
This thesis developed a three-model approach for analyzing the impact of lead-time and review time in a large retailer’s supply chain network. The foundation of all three models is based on the periodic-review (R,S) policy. These models mimicked the “Direct-to-Store” and “Regional Distribution Center” supply chain network.
