Overall supply chain
optimisation is an elusive and perhaps ultimately unattainable goal,
requiring the balancing of many components, of which transport is but
one. However, in the wider context of consumer and community benefit,
overall supply chain efficiencies must be balanced by the need to
minimise social impacts. The implementation of the concepts outlined in
this report will help industry remain free to manage its own consumer
goods supply efficiently whilst acting and being seen to act in an
environmentally responsible way.
