Abstract

This article delves into the implementation and benefits of collaborative logistics, a strategic approach wherein logistics stakeholders engage in close cooperation to optimize resources and processes. The significance of a robust technological infrastructure is underscored, enabling real-time information sharing and integrated planning, which are pivotal for enhancing supply chain efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering sustainability. The discussion includes various collaborative logistics models, such as shared transportation routes and warehouses, which are instrumental in minimizing waste and mitigating environmental impact. The article further emphasizes the critical role of trust, transparency, and comprehensive legal frameworks in ensuring the success of such collaborations. By incorporating sustainability aspects into inventory management practices, companies can not only achieve substantial economic and environmental benefits but also secure a long-term competitive advantage. This integrated approach aligns with contemporary demands for sustainable operations, ultimately contributing to reduced global environmental footprint and compliance with stringent regulatory standards.
