logistics management concepts for improving performance across the
entire logistics network. Companies that have already streamlined their
internal business process are now working to realise further savings by
improving the external business relationships within the more and more
complex, linked value-adding business processes in logistics networks.
Although the benefits of SCM are well-known in industry, until now
companies have only put this concept into practice in a limited way.
