Which activity is a Movement Control Function that involves tracking loads while in transit?

• A. Planning
• B. Allocating
• C. Routing
• D. In-transit visibility

Answer: (D)

In-transit visibility is the Movement Control function that centers on tracking loads as they move from origin to destination. It provides real-time or near-real-time information about location, status, and condition, so logisticians can monitor progress, anticipate delays, and adjust plans or communicate updates as needed. This ongoing tracking during movement is what sets it apart from other functions. Planning helps set objectives and resources for movement, allocating assigns space or resources, and routing determines the path and method for transport. None of these focus on live tracking of shipments while they are in transit the way in-transit visibility does.
