Asosiasi Logistik Indonesia (ALI) Written by ALI Secretariat
The recent global industry trend showed that the
role of Supply Chain & Logistics management in companies is becoming more
critical & important to sustain the overall profitability of companies.
When companies arrive at certain stage where profitability stays at very low
number, while sales revenue can only grow slowly because the market
competitiveness getting tougher, many of them started to see & review their
Supply Chain management & Logistics execution function. Improvement on this
function can help companies to reduce their operation expenses so that they can
expect to increase the net profit figures.
In Indonesia, especially after the economic crisis,
this SCM & Logistics focus trend has been well acknowledged by industries.
