Supply Chain Event Management: Innovation in Logistics Services

Abstract

Innovative logistics management is one of today’s critical competitive factors. The general conditions of logistics are increasingly changing. Product capacities which also concentrate incrementally in Asia face markets which consume “on-demand”. Meeting these demands is the primary goal of Supply Chain Management. The system-based and holistic development of logistics solutions is an essential factor of success in the “on-demand”-oriented supply to customers. The supply chain dilemma is on one hand, the increasing complexity and on the other the necessity to drastically improve information and transparency. Especially the optimisation of capital lockup by reducing inventory requires a rigorous improvement in terms of actual data availability.
