The Logistics Strategy is set in the context of the
overall strategy of the SPAR Business which sets
out a vision in terms of the growth in store numbers,
selling space, retail formats, product range and
the basis on which SPAR will compete. Based on
these key decisions as to the future direction of
the business, the Logistics Strategy will set out
the optimum supply chain solution. A significant
complication is the fact that while the business
strategy will typically have a 3/5 year horizon, it is
frequently necessary to have 5/8 year forecasts
when making decisions regarding investment in
Distribution Centres.
