科尔尼－供应链研究报告内容提要：
Executive summary
Overview: The pan-European supply chain faces four major challenges: Redesign of network, in-versus outsourcing, consolidation of supplier relationships and best practice tendering
Redesign of network is driven by forces outside of the supply chain.  These external forces could be, e.g., consolidation of manufacturing base or change in service requirements
In- versus outsourcing: Outsourcing provides strategic advantages, but it does not solve the problem
Consolidation of supplier relationships: Trust and transparency are key for establishing long-term partnerships with suppliers
Best practice tendering: Insight about key performance drivers of operation will guarantee a successful tendering process
Benefits: Applying best practices to resolve these issues can lead to significant competitive advantages 
Improvement opportunities can be realized by initiating a series of actions
Planning improvements:
Reduce overtime by matching staffing with activities (e.g. standard weekend staffing)
Renegotiate requirements and charges for additional activities
Ensure visibility of inbound shipments to contract warehouses
Improvements in productivity by unbundling variable handling rates, identifying barriers to efficiency, and attempting to reduce impact where possible
Reduction in operator profits - margins are hidden in numerous charges - once unbundled, a fair return can be negotiated.
