SUPPLYCHAIN:
A supply chain is the network of all the individuals, organizations, resources, activities and
technology involved in the creation and sale of a product, from the delivery of source materials
from the supplier to the manufacturer, through to its eventual delivery to the end user.

TRANSPORTATION:
Transportation the movement of goods and persons from place to place and the various means
by which such movement is accomplished. The growth of the ability—and the need—to
transport large quantities of goods or numbers of people over long distances at high speeds in
comfort and safety has been an index of civilization and in particular of technological progress.

DEMAND FOR FREIGHT
Freight transport demand is defined as the amount of inland tonne-kilometres travelled every
year in the EEA-33. According to the latest metadata, inland freight transport includes transport
by road, rail, inland waterway, air and maritime.
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE:
 Sustainable freight system
DEPENDENT VARIABLE:

PROBLEM STATEMENT
. Based on the previous discussion the specific problem statement of the proposed study:
"To examine the causal relationship between the sustainable freight system and supply
management in Logistics and freight sector of Pakistan"
It is also argued Sustainable freight system effects mode of Delivery and Infrastructure of the
organization leads to achieve supply management through increase in perfect order measurement
and Fill rate.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:
☆ The first objective of research is to identify the relationship between sustainable freight
system and supply management in logistics and freight sector of Pakistan.
☆The second objective of the proposed study is to identify the relation between perfect order
measurement, fill rate through mode of delivery and infrastructure in logistics and freight sector
of Pakistan.
☆The third objective of the proposed study is to comparison between different service quality
providers ( TCS, M&P, DHL and Leopard) in logistics and freight sector of Pakistan.
☆The fourth objective of the proposed study is to develop a framework that provides practical
guidelines to the Logistics and freight sector of Pakistan.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1) What is the impact of sustainable freight system on supply management?
2) How does sustainable freight system influences supply chain management?
3) How does supply management (perfect order measurement, fill rate) measure through mode of
delivery and infrastructure in logistics and freight sector of Pakistan?
4) How do the proposed frameworks will be generalized in logistics and freight sector of
Pakistan?
CONCLUSION:
I have worked on this project to know how sustainable freight system impact the supply
management and to find out the answers to the research questions that have been mentioned
above.
