The information presented in this circular captures an initial discussion of supply chain information and the potential for identifying and using many of its complex components to support and inform public-sector decision making. General themes were identified and encapsulated as the first step to identifying specific research needs. The anticipation is to coordinate integrating the supply chain concept into existing freight- and data-related activities, programs, and research while concurrently developing and expanding the themes presented in the circular into more developed research statements or programs as necessary to meet the intent of that theme.
