A FUTURE TREND IN SCM?

摘要

EVERY few years someone comes up with a new theory or buzzword that gets everyone excited. Some of these concepts go on to become 'winners' whilst others fail by the wayside. The Logistics & Supply Chain Management Society has commissioned research in the area of Combined Distribution Networks (CDN) and the preliminary data shows benefits of such significance that CDN cannot be ignored. More research is being done in this area and CDN could be the next big thing in SCM, promulgating and embedding itself into the supply chain of tomorrow.
