In order to take competitive advantage of the
technological opportunities to increase the total
logistic performance, it is necessary to use these
opportunities in combination. To obtain full benefit
from the potential advantages of these technological
opportunities, the structure of the entire
logistic chain must be reconsidered and the
organization and management of the processes
must be re-engineered. The structuring of logistic
chains is treated in Section 3.3 and the Business
Process Re-engineering approach (BPR) is described
in Section 3.4.
