Globalization
Markets around the globe-products moving longer distances with more frequency
Freight mobility pressure added to urban environment- the site of ports and transport connections to reach other markets

Business PracticesHistory of Industrial Competitiveness
1800sFirms stressed ability to decrease cost of production of each unit
Early 1900sAs production started to catch up with demand, businesses recognized the importance of sales
Emphasis on PRODUCTION
Emphasis onSALES
Emphasis onLOGISTICS
Late 1900s & 2000Sophistication of product offerings, globalization and increased customer expectations make logistics key to companies’, regions’ competitiveness

Distribution & Logistics: The New Business Model
The use of the transportation system, information technology, and distribution facilities to assemble and move raw materials and products to regional, national and international markets
Why ?• Increased competition for global markets• Increasing offshore production and movement of parts and
goods • Business cost savings already realized through production
efficiency • Supply chain management offers opportunity for additional
cost savings

Implications Industry specialization and reliance on efficient
transportation means industries may choose to relocate if transportation costs affect their ability to compete
Congestion has real costs and affects business productivity
• Hard costs Extra time for pick-up and delivery/reduced production
time Extra vehicles to meet “just-in-time” demands of
customers and scheduling problems caused by longer delivery times
• Soft costs Business credibility Expansion decisions
