Retail

A defined supply chain strategy with customised deliverables and supply conditions is essential for balancing costs and the desired customer service.

An integrated approach that takes into account the supply, production, transportation, and service level is essential for the design of the most competitive logistics concept.

Trends in logistics

• Co-operation between the partners in the Supply Chain: suppliers, production, transport and retail.
• Globalising the Supply Chain while addressing the important issues of lead time, guaranteed supply and general risk management.
• On the purchasing side, the trend is “Think Global - Source local”. Which means that one should consider purchasing as a global mindset - but make use of local suppliers. 
• Local and regional optimisation with the introduction of concepts such as cross-docking, just-in-time delivery and other customised concepts. 
• Increased transparency through product traceability, RFID technology.
• Ergonomics and generally an increased quality of the working environment.
