“Companies don’t compete on price any more but on efficiencies in the supply chain,” said David Oglethorpe* as Professor of Logistics and Supply Chain at Newcastle Business School, the University of Northumbria. (2008)

“It’s not about comparing businesses but one supply chain against another supply chain.”

The growing importance of the supply chain has upgraded the role of those charged with managing these complex international business relationships.

“Jobs in this area are becoming more strategic rather than operational and the movement of goods is increasingly discussed at boardroom level,” says Oglethorpe (2008)

DSA have extensive experience in packing professionals in Logistics and Supply Chain and our Directors are Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport
