Abstract:

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Freight Transportation Data Committee hosted a workshop to advance the understanding of if and how public-sector decision making could be improved by having better supply chain information. The specific objectives of this workshop were to review current supply chain applications and data uses for the public sector; explore the decision-making processes involved in public-sector investments and the value of enhanced supply chain information; identify potential examples of specific public uses of supply chain data as well as the types of users who could benefit from its availability; and explore future actions and research that could further this approach. The structure of the workshop consisted of one day of information gathering and exchange through three sessions with invited speakers and an interactive session to capture the essence of the day. This was followed by a working session of the planning committee to identify how this information met the workshop objectives and to identify themes that might lead to specific research to support these objectives. This circular provides a synopsis of the information from the first day, followed by the initial themes that were identified for further development.
