  4. I. What is logistics? Freight logistics involves many different physical and economic activities… Value adding services • Packaging • Quality control • Product testing/repair • Assembly • Installation • Information • Inventory control • Core logistics services • Line-haul transport • Pickup/distribution • Storage • Loading/unloading • Stuffing/stripping • Load consolidation Support services • Equip. hire/leasing • Equip. maintenance • Sanitary services • Security services • Trade insurance & finance

  5. I. What is logistics? Not surprisingly, logistics comprise a significant proportion of GDP Source: Transport & Logistics in the Internet Age: International Summit 2001

  9. II. What are the global trends? The world’s logistics industry is experiencing great change… Rapid expansion of international trade in most regions, and particularly in Asia: many supply chains are now truly global Markets Global competition in product and service markets is driving higher standards and lower costs in logistics supplier markets Expectations Despite some industry concentration (eg ports) the freeing of transport markets is creating greater contestability in logistics services and sub-markets Competition All modes of transport are investing to obtain more efficient, usually larger vessels/vehicles and improved traffic dispatching, monitoring and control capability Technology

  10. II. What are the global trends? …...other changes Both standard and specialized containerization continues to grow , facilitating inter-modal transit and multi-modal allocation of traffic Inter-modality The expectation of perpetually cheap energy is waning due both to declining fossils fuel stocks and expectation of higher energy taxes in response to global warming Energy Higher standards of security in freight transport are being sought in all modes, but particularly in international shipping and aviation Security Logistics services depend heavily on public infrastructure in roads, railways, ports, airports, shipping channels etc: capacity increments are not matching world freight volume growth Bottlenecks

  11. II. What are the global trends? Market perceptions: East Asia logistics costs are generally comparable with OECD

  12. II. What are the global trends? Market perceptions: East Asia logistics have much greater service problems than OECD

  13. II. What are the global trends? Market perceptions: that the low quality of infrastructure in east Asia is a problem

  14. II. What are the global trends? Market perceptions: the performance deficit OECD vs. E Asia is increasing

  16. III Why have a National Logistics Strategy? 1. The industry is of national importance to trade& development Why have a National Logistics Strategy? 2. The external impacts are significant incl. transport safety, emissions etc. 3. The industry depends on public infrastructure for its success 4. Government policy and admin. responsibilities are fragmented 5. The private sector is also very diverse, with conflicting interests

  17. Energy efficiency and greenhouse gases

  19. IV. National Logistics Strategy: key aims What should National Logistics Strategy try to achieve? Lower service cost Higher customer service • Customer responsiveness • Geographic coverage • Delivery time • Reliability of delivery time • Frequency of delivery • Safety and security of goods • Protection of corporate image • Value-adding services • Transport & storage tariffs • Inventory holding costs • Product damage or deterioration • Pilferage losses • Insurance costs • Administration • Customs and other clearances • Bribes and malicious delays • Social & environmental costs

  20. IV. Logistics strategy: key aims High service at low cost requires the 3C’s Commercial culture Competitive spirit Capital access • Close attention to costs in a ‘tough’ industry • High levels of staff and management incentives • A focus on customer service • High-order marketing skills • Management agility • Investment in physical assets that deliver demanding service standards • Investment in IT to monitor and control operations Logistics strategy should encourage private enterprise and competition

  23. III National Logistics Strategy – scope? Public policy objectives 1. Logistics policy principles Roles of public and private sectors Roles of markets and of regulations Roles of central and local governments Principles of industry access/licensing

  24. III National Logistics Strategy – scope? Benchmarking of service performance 2. Audit of current performance Benchmarking of cost performance Benchmarking government functions (for example, customs performance) Research into customer perceptions Problems and bottlenecks

  25. III National Logistics Strategy – scope? May involve trade, transport, economic, and/or environmental legislation and regulations 3. Legal and regulatory changes New legislation/regulations if necessary Amendments to existing legislation or regulations Changes to administrative structures to implement logistics strategy
