摘要

Two activities of research were pulled together in this study. The first objective was to review the literature dealing with integrated logistics from both a qualitative approach and a quantitative modeling standpoint. The review led to the building of an analytical framework to evaluate the potential for logistics integration of an organization. The second objective was the application of the framework on a pharmaceutical company and the identification of some industry-related environmental and operational constraints.;The concept of integrated logistics has recently emerged from both the academic and corporate world. The increasing competition and the new technologies have forced a redefinition of product cost so that it is now more relevant to focus on the logistics cost or total cost, of the goods sold. This is possible only if a company is willing to move from the traditional fragmented view of functional optimality to the evolved integrated approach, understanding by this matter that integration is principally a process of trade-offs. This evolution has captured a lot of attention from researchers and models dealing with integration are becoming more and more reliable and complex. These models, either optimization or simulation models are expected to become key decision-making tools for the redesign of more effective and efficient supply-chain as integral part of a company's decision support system.;At the pharmaceutical company XYZ Ltd., the heavy environmental and operational constraints common to many multi-national pharmaceutical company, the analysis of the supply-chain for one product category revealed some inequalities with respect to the degree of integration achieved. Whereas the activities downstream production demonstrate a heavy concern for and substantial achievement toward integration, the lack of integration of external suppliers as well as a recurrent tendency for functionality represent the areas where major improvements can be made.
