The book delves into the complexities of globalized industrial production, highlighting how multinational companies seek competitive advantages through strategically distributed activities. It emphasizes the need for reliable, cost-efficient supply chains with short order fulfillment times, leading to low inventory levels and frequent transportation. The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is introduced, detailing performance metrics across four levels that assess supply chain reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, and cost, particularly focusing on transport and transshipment processes.
