The global transportation network (GTN) is the information system for the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), and Lockheed-Martin is the prime contractor. As deployed today, GTN is the largest successful implementation of an intermodal transportation supply chain management information system (MIS). It encompasses the information needs of a wide range of intermodal interests--those of carriers, managers, and customers. To provide the required functionality, GTN acquires data from about 23 external systems today. Lockheed-Martin adds about three systems a month and plans to interface with 100 intermodal carriers over the next 24 months through electronic data interchange. The goal for GTN is to provide all the transportation information to support total asset visibility, which is the Department of Defense version of supply chain management. Further details on GTN are provided in this case study.
