  1. Comparative logistics capabilities between Europe and Asia Jan C. Fransoo Technische Universiteit Eindhoven

  2. Asia comparison • learnings across developing regions: Chinese coastal zones with Central-Europe, Chinese inland zones with Eastern Europe, what are good policies for national/provincial governments to boost development • role of industrial and logistics parks both: governments as "client" or "problem-owner" rather than industry as such • best practices of companies • study on ports with Chung-Yee Lee, HKUST

  3. Supply Chain Management and the Transportation Infrastructure in Europe Jan C. Fransoo Technische Universiteit Eindhoven

  4. Position of CE (not: CEE)? • CE as a source • CE as a postponement center • CE as a market in all scenarios: component sourcing from Far East

  5. Transportation perspective in Europe

  6. European Commission (2001) • White paper: European Transport Policy in 2010 • Congestion: • 10% of road network: 7,500 km • 20% of rail network: 16,000 km • Costs: 0.5% of GDP (1.0% by 2010) • Forecast 50% increase of goods traffic by road in 2010

  7. Use of transport modes (EU-15; Gtkm)

  8. Road • Road carries 44% of freight • (and also 79% of passenger transport) • Each day 10 hectares are covered by road infrastructure • Car fleet expands by 3 million cars every year

  9. Rail • From 1970 to 1998: from 21% to 8% freight marketshare • Average speeds of international rail freight: 18km/h • 600 km of track closed every year • EU: investments to stimulate rail • Industry: no confidence in rail (strikes, no single operator, unreliable, …)

  10. Water • Growth in short sea shipping matches road growth • Administrative (customs) difficulties largely resolved • Huge growth potential • Inland waterways largely unused • 9% of freight in Rhine/Main/Danube network • 1 barge = 110 trucks • Slower modes require smarter networks: joint operations of sea and inland terminals

  11. Research questions & opportunities (1) • Operation of joint terminals network as single virtual terminal • dynamic inventory positioning in network • inventory allocation and reallocation while in transit • queuing effects at terminals • service concepts • How independent are SC structures from transportation infrastructures, or does road always provide the option to execute any sc structure? What about other sectors than electronics?

  12. Research questions & opportunities (2) • Industrial / logistics parks strategy strongly dependent on role: • source: manufacturing and capability driven, must be reachable for components in efficient way, taxes; industrial parks and logistics parks can develop separately; example: Philips campus in Poland • postponement center: closer to market, more supply chain / logistics driven, likely to be positioned aligned with terminals in network,; industrial parks (postponement center) and logistics parks aligned. Customization in Prague • market: supply chain design very strongly based on transportation network and shifting center of gravity within Europe. Network role of Constanta – Vienna axis

  13. Research questions and opportunities (3) • your input
