In amongst the various areas and facilities of management comes transport management. A low key, high importance area that is often overlooked or un-assumed. This means we are really looking at a specialized and concentrated area that needs to be and must be more closely examined. For a start we have the state railway system. A complex integrated network that transports hundreds of thousands of people every day.

To work, to visit friends, or perhaps a shopping expedition. Then we have the roadways full of cars, trucks, buses and other motor vehicles that constantly commute people, goods and literature around the country. Then we have international transportation in the form of airlines and shipping. Taking passengers and cargo all around the world. Then finally we have the space craft which I guess we will all be a part of in some shape or form in the not too distant future. Transportation is a vital part of our everyday life. Management meant transport because all of these areas have to be managed. They all require and must run on schedules.

Time frames and restraints that ensure safety, efficiency and punctuality for all our daily routines. These dead lines or time limits are guidelines that can't be compromised with quality or safety standards. But must be controlled and managed water tight in order to maximize the comfort and efficiency for every user. I guess we could go back to when people used horses to get around or even running or walking on foot. It just goes to show how far we have developed and how much we depend on transportation. It's as if the work is getting smaller and we are going further all the time. It simply means more appointments to do and see more things.
