A Case Study of Ghanaian Manufacturing Industry

Abstract

The manufacturing industry has come to regard logistics to enhance their product or service rather than a place to save costs in recent years. It is also well acknowledged that logistics and supply chain management impact firm performance. Despite the expanding importance of logistics, little work has been done to create a theory of logistics' role in the manufacturing industry, and further research into this area is certainly needed. The first part of the literature review presents an empirical review of the concept of the supply chain and logistics in the Ghanaian context. The section touches in the ideologies of both the inbound and outbound logistics. The literature review provides an assessment from performance measurement before presenting an empirical review of what this paper presents. Following that, this paper reviews earlier studies that have thoroughly analyzed supply networks. The data analysis is reported in the results and discussion sections included in this research. Lastly, we conclude with some recommendations after this section.
