Abstract

Logistics management is the processes and activities to ensure that the right value is delivered to the right customer at the right place and the right time, with minimum cost. Moreover, logistics management can support the organizations to utilize their assets efficiently and generate more revenues. Currently, many firms are playing an increasingly important role in both intra-Asian and international supply chains. However, the development of logistics system in Thailand is at lower level than that in other countries. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the development of logistics system and the involvement from both public and private sectors. Therefore, the expected benefit of this paper is to ensure that the national policies are congruent with the company’s capabilities and strategic goals. Firms and government need to collaborate with each other to improve logistics performance. Thus, ongoing public-private sector cooperation augurs well for future logistics development which will help to strengthen Thailand’s competitiveness.
