Logistics is the junction between production and market. A correct logistic organization affects both the customer experience and the company profitability. Consequently, it has to be perfectly aligned to the business requirements.
Relocation or centralization?
The approach to new markets – in geographic or sectorial terms – and the sales increase require a logistic and manufacturing structure capable to meet the request effectively, from the productive and economic points of view. The positioning of their junctions has to be carefully evaluated according to the present and medium-term business objectives. In this perspective, the countries of Central-Eastern Europe are an excellent choice both as emerging markets and as logistic/productive basis to expand to Russia and to Center-North Europe.
On the other hand, the difficulties in supplies and transports experienced during the recent pandemics have highlighted the limits of a too decentralized logistics. Besides, the evolution to more flexible production systems reduces the economical advantages deriving from the production in lower cost countries. The result is an acceleration of production reshoring, with the resulting need to re-consider the whole logistic chain.
There is no solution which applies universally. BEARCAT Beni Industriali can help you to analyze your specific business reality and to implement your ideal logistic model.
