The Logistics Transport Network view displays the location of suppliers, distribution centers, and factories on a Google map. The width of the lines connecting the geographic locations indicates the quantity of materials being transported. A tooltip provides supply chain information. This view requires the following inputs:

• A defined logistics BOP with a supply chain and vendors

• A plant associated with the logistics BOP

• Addresses for the vendors and plants

• Quantity of materials being transported

• To display a transport network, click the top node of the logistics BOP and choose Open With→Logistics Transport Network.Teamcenter displays a Google map with all the vendors and plants contained in the logistics BOP in the view. The vendors and plant are connected by transport network lines. Using these lines, you can determine how far apart your vendors are located.
