Question 1
1.1 Functional deliverables of transport management systems that
may assist in improving energy supply in South Africa (SA)
Theory (2½ marks):
A Transport Management System (TMS) provides key functionalities
like route optimization, load planning, carrier management, real-time
tracking, and automated scheduling. These functionalities improve
efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, managing vehicle
maintenance, and ensuring timely deliveries. The system also ensures
that goods, including energy resources, are transported using the most
efficient routes, minimizing delays and reducing operational costs.
