Background – European Opportunities • Major European opportunities and challenges for manufacturers and other Pan-European businesses were created by the EC92 concept - ’A single European market enabled by the free movement of goods, money and people’. • Manufacturers and brand-owners redefined their markets and offerings to seize the market opportunities, and developed new supply chain strategies, typically embracing the concepts of global / European sourcing, manufacturing, inventory deployment, warehousing and transport, enabled by greater reliance on outsourcing and the development of business-wide systems for supply chain planning and control. • Logistics service providers saw the opportunities for themselves in supporting these business developments and promised to provide European capability for a one-stop-shop for the provision of cheaper, faster, more efficient, more reliable, seamless, simpler, more secure and easier transport and logistics.
Background – Vision versus Reality • The shippers have experienced major challenges in implementing these strategies, both internal and external • Challenges are being met but the promise of the LSP’s has still to be delivered and the lack of provision on Pan European Transport and Logistics is now a significant barrier to the implementation of European Supply Chain strategies. • Given the key issues described above, Alan Waller and John Doran gave a presentation on board the Oriana for the Logistics Forum 2001 to tell the story as they saw it - the history, the current situation and the potential future developments. • This was backed up by a survey which confirmed and sharpened these issues and the potential solutions. • The results of the survey showed that the satisfaction levels of users, providers and enablers with the various aspects of European Logistics were between 40% and 60%.
Providers are locked in a vicious circle • Low margins • High competition Who will helpthem break out? • No investment • No risk-taking • Commodity services • Cost focus • No innovation • No pro-activity
The Formation & Development of ELUPEG • At the request of Oriana 2001 delegates, a group was assembled to tackle the issues on a joint collaborative basis - this was the origin of ELUPEG. • Members engage in collaborative action-based projects to improve European Logistics. • Open to all users, providers and enablers of European Logistics services - but members must engage in collaborative projects, which are intended to be self-funding. • Representation must be at appropriate and senior level. • Over 600 European companies are registered on our database • Run by members for members, with independent chairman plus steering group of user/provider/enabler leaders and secretariat. • User driven but democratic. • Non-profit-making with modest meeting/joining fees to cover costs.
