Title	New Publication: Columbus Electronic Freight Management Evaluation
Date Posted	9/17/2009
URL	http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/fhwahop09053/index.htm
Description	In 2007, as part of its Electronic Freight Management (EFM) program initiative, USDOT conducted an EFM deployment test in Columbus, Ohio with partners from a Limited Brands air cargo supply chain originating in China; an evaluation was completed and documented. Successful supply chain deployments of EFM technologies are delivering benefits along with more efficiency and better customer service. EFM and related visibility technologies provide lasting benefits. Major users of these technologies report better integration with their partners and greater supply chain visibility. This report presents results from many industry surveys and case studies as documented in the literature. With those as a backdrop, this report summarizes the quantitative and qualitative benefits found during the Columbus EFM (CEFM) test. (Publication Number: FHWA-HOP-09-053)
