Software Perspective - Streamlining / Transforming Business Processes:allocation; stranded storage; redundant copies; low Green Supply Chain Planning: Information Technology can optimize transportation planning routes and ensure that goods/services are delivered in the most energy efficient and cost- effective manner. Automation of the transportation planning process enables transportation managers to manage by exception to mitigate the effects of unexpected
events. Cognizant has worked with leading logistics players in providing transportation planning solutions to optimize operations, identify non-value added manual processes, implement dashboards for metrics, and utilize the proven
principles of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing to identify hidden variance and complexity within the supply chain.

best practices for transportationand distribution in its SCOR framework. Some organizations like IBM have developed Business Process Modeling software based on the SCOR framework to enable efficient planning of supply
chain functions Many IT solutions exist that can evaluate the impact that various supply-chain network configurations and transportation strategies have on the carbon footprint. For example, LogicNet plus XE solution with the carbon
