Abstract: This paper presents the impact that fragmentation of logistics activities has on the logistics function of a ceramic tile manufacturing company. The study reveals the fragmentation degree of logistics activities within the company. It maps the current logistics structure and determines the performance of logistics. It describes the impact of logistics on the company's strategic objectives of sales volume, profitability and cash flow. The study benchmarks the company's logistics performance to the performance of other ceramic tile manufacturers. Finally, we propose a model that integrates logistics activities to enhance logistics performance.

Keywords: logistics organisational modelling; logistics fragmentation; integrated logistics; ceramic tile manufacturing; logistics performance; benchmarking. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
