The MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (CTL) invites readers to participate in a short survey regarding Supply Chain Visibility in their organizations.

This survey will help researchers capture an initial snapshot of the state of the practice of how shippers are obtaining end-to-end visibility of their ocean-bound products.

One unique aspect about this survey is that it’s primarily intended for shippers who use ocean transportation. Researchers estimate that it will take shippers approximately 15 minutes to complete the survey.

The survey is completely anonymous unless the shipper wishes to provide contact information.

Researchers are asking for a response by April 17, 2015.
