1. The Process Strategy consists of a broad group of traditional logistics functions managed as a value added system.
2. The Market Strategy typically involves a limited group of traditional logistics activities which are managed across business units.
3. The Information Strategy, also known as channel strategy, consists of interorganizational coordination and uses logistics to achieve cooperation." |

Logistics Strategies: The 1993 McGinnis and Kohn Classification
Deepika, India
"In 1993 McGinnis and Kohn show three groups of strategies:
1. Intense Logistics Strategy incorporates both the market strategy and the process strategy in the bowersox and daugherty typology and focuses on optimisation and integration of two or more business units for the serving of a common customer. The market environment for this strategy should be moderately unpredictable and very hostile.
2. Balanced Logistics Strategy also incorporates both the market strategy and the process strategy in the bowersox and daugherty typology however not to the extent displayed in the intense logistics strategy. The market environment for this strategy is hostile and moderately unpredictable.
3. Unfocused Logistics Strategy places low emphasis both on the market strategy and the process strategy in the bowersox and daugherty typology. The market environment for this strategy is moderately hostile and fairly predictable." |

Ways of SCM: Example
sweet bouras, Tunisia
"I can give you an example of an EU company called IKEA if my memory is good. This company integrated the customer solution in their process by selling tables and chairs in divided and standardized parts. This decreases the cost of the product, simplifies transport, and enhances competitivity." |
