COLLABORATION STRATEGIES IN SUPPLY CHAINS WITH A REVIEW ON TRANSPORT

Abstract

Collaboration is a relatively new concept in the terminology of Logistics and Supply Chain Manage­ment, and thus insufficiently explored, and even less applied in a practical environment. Due to its complexity, collaboration can’t always be applied to every model of business. For this reason, collaboration can rightly be called a higher degree of logistic management. The main goal of this paper is to locate and understand the importance of collaboration in Supply Chains as well as to identify the total benefits that the collaboration contributes to the interested parties, with special review on the importance of collaboration in transport.
