International Transport Management_Quản trị vận tải quốc tế Management

The course International Transport Management offers a comprehensive understanding of the essential role transportation plays in the global supply chain. Students are introduced to major modes of transportation—including ocean, air, land, rail, and multimodal systems—while analyzing their functions, costs, and operational efficiencies. Core topics include the concept of landed cost, transportation's impact on inventory and service trade-offs, derived demand, and demand elasticity. The curriculum also covers the structure of global transport corridors (transport, trade, and legal), and the strategic importance of international organizations such as IATA, FIATA, and the International Chamber of Shipping. Special attention is given to international commercial terms (Incoterms), HS codes, and trade agreements that govern cross-border logistics. Practical methods, such as the Clarke and Wright Savings Algorithm for route optimization, are explored to equip students with tools for real-world problem-solving. The course also emphasizes how Transportation Management Systems (TMS) contribute to operational efficiency. By understanding how transportation supports functions like last-mile delivery, global trade connectivity, and just-in-time inventory models, students are prepared to make strategic decisions in logistics and supply chain environments. Ultimately, this course provides both foundational knowledge and managerial insight into navigating the complexities of international transport in today’s fast-evolving marketplace.
