Welcome

It seems everyone is talking about global logistics, and rightfully so. It wasn't long ago that communication challenges and extended lead times were major barriers to successful relationships with international customers and trading partners. But today's advancements in technology and transportation services have made those barriers less formidable and organizations are now able to consider, create, and sustain relationships that exist around the world. And the importance of these advancements cannot be overstated as it's no coincidence that today's most successful companies also have world-class global logistics strategies and systems.

So why don't all companies have world-class global logistics strategies and systems? Well, becoming world-class in logistics requires a certain level of innovation and remaining world-class requires a commitment to continual self-examination. Global logistics is a complex and constantly evolving field where process improvements and technological innovations happen quickly. Read more

  • Predicts 2012: Global Logistics
  • Dwight Klappich | Greg Aimi | Robert Anderson | Marcus Blosch | Paul Lord | Vladimir Krasojevic | Stephen Stokes
  • 22 November 2011
  • Over 60% of surveyed companies view logistics as nonstrategic; yet expectations for near-perfect performance place increasing stress on global logistics organizations.

Overview

  • While the notion of "perfect logistics" is just emerging, global logistics pressures and challenges continue to mount. This research will examine five predictions that could radically impact global logistics organizations over the next five years.

Key Findings

  • As supply chain complexity and risk grow, only 14% of companies are positioned to effectively exploit risk, and few, if any, have yet seen fit to elevate compliance and risk management to an executive-level position in the supply chain management (SCM) organization.
  • Thirty-five percent of Gartner SCM User Wants and Needs survey respondents identified the inability to synchronize end-to-end business processes as an issue, which will drive increased demand for SCM application convergence.
  • As cross-border trade growth slows, supply chain organizations will be forced to adjust from proliferation to optimization of international flows.
  • Growth in the use of intermodal freight in Europe will be fueled by government investments, changing business conditions and sustainability strategies. Sustainable logistics is emerging as a must-do "next-practice" for shippers and logistics service providers.
