Abstract

Transportation managers find themselves caught between the demand for smaller, time sensitive shipments and the increasing relative cost of smaller shipments. To help transportation and logistics students develop an appreciation for this dilemma and to teach them to develop strategies to deal with it, an interactive simulation called TRANSECON was developed. The following paper describes TRANSCON and how it can be used in the classroom.
