The transport operation will return either the mean value or the total inventory of it’s parent (transport) sub-system.

A transport operation block is created in the [[Matrix_window|Matrix window]] by right-clicking an empty cell within a [[Transport|transport sub-system]] and selecting **Other | Transport Operation** from the popup-menu.
