| Abstract | This document provides the independent evaluation of the USDOT-sponsored Columbus Electronic Freight Management (CEFM) Operational Test, which occurred from late May 2007 until December 2007. The Evaluation report includes descriptions of the CEFM system and defines quantitative and qualitative benefits in the following four primary study areas: (1) CEFM system usefulness in terms of participants’ perceptions regarding the system’s ability to improve their daily operations and whether CEFM represents an improvement in their Information Technology (IT) environment (improved information quality and flow). (2) The ability of CEFM to improve cargo visibility in terms of more actionable (complete, accurate, and timely) cargo location and status information for public and private sector participants. (3) CEFM’s ability to improve supply chain and logistics performance by reducing supply chain costs, shipping delays, cargo clearance times, or to improve overall levels of partner coordination and ultimate customer satisfaction. (4) Assessment of deployment scalability through participant willingness to integrate the Electronic Freight Management concept into their overall IT environments, and establishment of a business case demonstrating the public and private sector value propositions. |
