Introduction Transport system is a very significant component in supply chain. Before the final product reaches the consumer, there are transportation costs involved. These costs involve the transportation of raw materials to the plant and then the ready products to the market. They affect an organization’s profitability directly thus companies have employed transportation as a strategy of gaining competitive advantage. The more the transportation is demanded by the market, the more the costs involved. While some firms opt to establish storage points near the consumers, others have taken their production to the market by establishing production sites near the market. These decisions are influenced by the transportation costs as well as the profitability experienced in the long run. Movement of products requires that a company maximizes the tools in use to ensure that minimal costs are experienced. In shipping, firms have now discovered the concept of coordinating inbound and outbound movement of ships to ensure that the return trip is also transportation of either goods or raw material. Depending on the operation that a firm runs, transportation from a supply chain view can work to add value to the goods supplied hence more profits. In the modern market, customers want to obtain goods conveniently within the shortest duration possible. The less the time taken to obtain a given product, the more the value that they attach to the product (Coyle, 2011). Organizations have used transportation as the link that binds a firm’s individual outlets and operations to function as one system. It addresses the issue of time and place utility of delivering goods to the right destination at the right time as required by the customers. It serves two main functions; movement and storage of products. Therefore, it should be utilized to ensure that a firm employs this strategy only when it adds value to the product. It is not only a logistic function, but also an element for supply chain, which is employed to place a firm ahead of the competitors (Mentzer, 2001). This paper will analyze the transportation system for the Toyota Company; it will describe its current flows and the expected flows in future. It will focus on its products and services, market and the supply chain strategies employed. From this analysis, a transportation improvement plan for the supply chain of this company will be developed. This plan will provide ways of minimizing costs while obtaining maximum profits and growth for the company. A reliable transportation plan is essential in supply chain; it adds value to products and services.
