Mastering Logistics Change

Abstract

This article draws attention to the how of logistics management or logistics as part of the learning organization. The logistics discipline has advanced over the years, but these advances have been mainly on the what side, what could be done rather than how it is done. In a world of increasing opportunities, the restraining factor is increasingly how. New product and market strategies depend upon supply chain redesign to be effective. Components and production skills can be purchased, as can transportation. But implementing new systems designs in an increasingly turbulent and complex world requires unprecedented skills of change management.
