Conclusions

The purpose of this paper was to describe a number of key supply chain issues and the key role that can be played by logistics providers within an Asian context. A case study was provided to illustrate actual supply chain dynamics and how an Asian firm might integrate into global supply chains.

Supply chain management in Asia still remains a challenge for all involved stakeholders. Asian manufacturers and traders need to be in better control of their supply chains, while most local providers are still struggling to provide value-added logistics services. Infrastructure and institutional arrangements are improving, but not quickly enough to enable successful supply chain management. Supply chain management must consider the deployment of all resources that affect customer value.

Asian policymakers need to be aware of the importance of supply chain management and of how the integration of national supply chains into regional and global supply chains can contribute to sustainable trade growth with key trading partners.
