The implementation of a transportation management system has been evolving into a core business practice in the oil and gas industry. This management approach is assisting in the coordinating the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives using resources already available in an effective and efficient way.[1]
Management
Management’s purpose is to coordinate the efforts of people so they can accomplish goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. A management system comprises of planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization to accomplish set goals. Management sizes can range from one person in a small business to thousands of managers in international organizations. In larger organizations, the board of directors defines the policy which is then carried out by the chief executive officer, or CEO.
Resourcing
The transportation management system is a set of strategies aimed at improving the overall performance of the transportation network without resorting to large-scale, expensive capital improvements. The system integrates methods to increase safety, efficiency, and capacity for all modes in transportation. Resourcing incorporates the deployment and management of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.[1]
Benefits
Implementing basics
Heavy moving organizations are the energy that keeps everything moving and functional in the oil and gas industry. There are several different types of transports that must be carried out in daily drilling tasks which require various types of trucks to complete the job properly. Implementing a management system for the transportation side of the industry can be a benefit to ensure completing tasks efficiently and effectively.
The transportation management system should possess:
- The organization’s operational requirements
- Transport needs and statuses.
- Customer requirements and expectations.
The transportation management system should plan for:
- Available and budgeted resources.
- Policies and/or procedures of the organization.
- Management and organization structures.
The transportation management system should have the ability to:
- Measure performance
- Analyze actions
- Communicate results
- Ensure improvement
- Stimulate development
