Integrated model for improved logistics with a focus on forwarding and warehousing services

The growing complexity of global supply chains and the increasing integration of regional economies have elevated the role of logistics as a critical link between production and consumption.Forwarding and warehousing services, as core components of logistics operations, face continuous challenges related to operational efficiency, service quality, and coordination.This study aims to develop an integrated model to enhance the performance and interconnectivity of forwarding and warehousing services.The research is based on a multi-stage methodology, combining theoretical analysis of logistics integration, identification of critical operational factors, and the construction of a systemic model framework.Key tasks include examining interdependencies between forwarding and warehousing, analysing operational challenges, and designing a model that optimises service quality, cost efficiency, and reliability.The resulting integrated model provides a structured approach to improving logistics service coordination and offers practical recommendations for implementation in real-world supply chain environments.This study contributes to both logistics theory and practice by offering a comprehensive framework for forward-looking management of forwarding and warehousing services, supporting more resilient and efficient supply chains.
