Results of the 22nd Annual Study of Logistics and Transportation Trends (Masters of Logistics) shared at CSCMP

摘要

Some have said transportation is a street leading to unlimited destinations. On this street, some are headed to a place where transportation is viewed as a commodity. Others have made a U-turn and are headed toward an end point of long-term commitment where transportation providers are viewed as critical partners. Meanwhile, the majority remains in the middle, parked in the off-ramps. This allegory reflects a trend continued by a group of carriers and shippers towards the co-creation of value, and this group has moved further along the road to positioning transportation as a strategic value-add function. The results of the 22nd Annual Trends and Issues in Transportation and Logistics (Masters of Logistics) findings indicate that this "value-added" view of transportation directly relates to better company performance.
