RELATIONSHIPS Relationship Orientation Whitepaper Executive Summary A shift in power is taking place in global supply chains and the Global Institute of Logistics believes that it is the quality of the relationships between cargo owners and their logistics service provider partners that will determine the winners. There are three main drivers of this phenomenon. The move towards demand-driven supply chains is undeniable, and this means cargo owners - as the players who are closest to end-consumers and, therefore, in the best position to interpret demand - are taking control of their supply chains now. It is they who are making the decisions on when and how their products travel around the world. The contrast between this new model and the old one, in which service providers carrying out different functions failed even to build relationships with each other, is stark. Cargo owners are now co-ordinating all the activity across different modes of transport. One of the benefits for them is that the new set-up will help them make popular products available to consumers in any part of the world much more quickly. Speed, of course, is another differentiating factor between supply chain winners and losers in the twenty-first century. The third driver derives from a further benefit to cargo owners from the new model. If they are in charge, the likelihood will diminish of terminal operators and land-based logistics service providers being asked to move partly empty containers, and of carriers being asked to transport them across the oceans of the world. 'Shipping air', as this practice is known, will become a thing of the past. In this white paper, the Global Institute of Logistics will demonstrate that this change is already taking place and that thought leaders in the industry are already changing the way they work to adapt to the new model.
