Analyzing bottlenecks in the freight transportation system using the theory of constraints : case of the Brazilian North Corridor

In researching the Brazil logistics chain, it is easy to understand the needs and obstacles for optimization and maximum efficiency in moving goods around the local region, specifically, in a country where the commodities exportation is one of the essential elements of the country's economy. In this paper, the problem seeks to answer the question, "How can the bottlenecks in a logistics chain be examined and analyzed to deliver efficiency in freight transportation"? In view of these aspects, this study seeks to outline the methods to analyze bottlenecks in the Brazilian freight transportation logistics chain. The Theory of Constraints reasoning and logic will confirm the case of the Brazilian North Corridor freight transportation system.
