INTEGRATED WORLD LOGISTICS

INTEGRATED WORLD LOGISTICS Logistics costs often represent the single largest cost element in international operations. Yet international logistics is often managed on a fragmented basis, with little or no attempt made to find the optimum tradeoffs of transportation modes, inventory levels, and expected availability of product. In this article, David Herron demonstrates how logistics cost savings of 15 to 25 may be achieved by systematically carrying out such tradeoffs. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Logistics World Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Logistics costs often represent the single largest cost element in international operations. Yet international logistics is often managed on a fragmented basis, with little or no attempt made to find the optimum tradeoffs of transportation modes, inventory levels, and expected availability of product. In this article, David Herron demonstrates how logistics cost savings of 15 to 25 may be achieved by systematically carrying out such tradeoffs.
