FUTURE LOGISTICS STRUCTURES. THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT ACROSS SIX INDUSTRY SECTORS

Logistics systems are in a state of rapid transition within Europe. Locations of manufacturing and warehousing are changing in response to new competitive pressures. Therefore, a study has been conducted to the following research questions: (1) What are the characteristics of the different logistics systems currently being used by large Dutch and Western European shippers; (2) How and why are these systems evolving; and (3) what are the implications for Dutch transport? This paper on (changes in) logistics strategies and structures is a synthesis of a more comprehensive study of the development of structures and practises of integrated supply chain management across Dutch and Western European firms in six sectors of industry. For the covering abstract of the conference see IRRD 871533.
