“…The future of the global air cargo logistics industry will be one dominated by key players with an international network, high performance capabilities and strong performance reliability. To achieve this, these key players need to possess process reengineering skills practically applying procedures that are shared throughout the network (Ramachandran and Tiwari, 2001). In an increasing consumer driven model of supply chain management, regional aviation plays a small but crucial role in the transport and logistic movement of fresh, perishable often high value products.…”

“…Ultimately, the overall effect is that airfreight is becoming the norm in the distribution systems of many companies (Murphy et al, 1989). This research is set in the context of the emergence of new forms of growth and development in the agricultural commodities markets (Renting et al, 2003) bolstered by a transition from a 'productivist' to a 'postproductivist' regime (Ilbery and Bowler, 1998;Schucksmith, 1993) Through new rural development patterns, research in this area now seeks to understand the growth of 'new' or 'alternative' food supply chains. In line with the 'farm to table' movement and the preferences of consumers, food markets are being driven by and differentiated on the basis of food quality criteria of social construction (Marsden, 1998).…”

“…It is this paradigm shift that has given birth to the new high quality niche agricultural food market. With that background, understanding the food chain in an effort to understand rural development patterns then became the focus of research in the field (Renting et al, 2003).…”

The purpose of this article is to explore the themes and challenges for regional aviation regarding the provision of airfreight services. The systematic review highlights three major challenges affecting the regional airfreight sector including: integration; infrastructure; and service reliability. There is a considerable dearth of academic literature available in this area. Thus, this paper aims to assist in highlighting these gaps and illustrating the potential for future research opportunities. It is hoped that this work will assist policy-makers, supply chain and air transport industry representatives as they seek to overcome the challenges hindering the development of regional aviation.

“…These firms encouraged corporations to further outsource non-core business operations for activities ranging from logistics to human resource management to accounting, among others. In doing so, OEM administrative practices were perpetuated through many suppliers by virtue of these intermediaries who were coordinating shipments or payments, for example (Ramachandran and Tiwari, 2001), sometimes even transparently to the supplier (Morgan, 2002).…”

Tipping the balance of power: the case of Large Scale Systems Integrators and their supply chains

The Large Scale Systems Integrator (LSSI) model of supply chain organisation and management is gaining in popularity as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) seek gains from distributed innovation and leveraged supplier R&D, all the while maintaining economies of scale at the assembly stage. The LSSI model requires a change in the roles and responsibilities of both OEM and its suppliers. Ultimately, staffing patterns at all levels of the supply chain will need to adapt to changing roles for engineering, design, purchasing, and manufacturing. The success of the LSSI model is based on comprehensive and shared knowledge management responsibilities, coupled with deep technical, customer, and market knowledge that are distributed across the extended enterprise. This disrupts the balance of power in the traditional OEM-led supply chain model, offering opportunities for Tiers 2 and 3 suppliers to gain influence.

“…To increase customer value, it is imperative that "trading partners use e-business technology to ensure visibility over the entire supply chain" (Ramachandran & Tiwari, 2001). The development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has facilitated an infrastructure which brings together technologies, electronics, telecommunications, computing hardware, positioning systems and data processing for sophisticated planning and operations (Crainic et al, 2009).…”

This paper delves into the global logistics market with an eye on technological advancements and the future of the industry. Expanding across all modes of transportation, a review of historical progress and current market situations reveals what lies ahead for the industry and what obstacles exist moving forward. A proposed network solution is examined via a case study involving two international logistics providers as a means of exploring potential resolutions to existing and forthcoming challenges in the industry. The proposal focuses on an intermodal logistics model that integrates all modes of transportation into a centralized network accessible by both users and suppliers, alike. Across a global landscape, this study outlines the lack of communication and information sharing that adversely affects the industry's ability to keep pace from a technological perspective.
