vi) Need flexible and swift approach in developing policies
There is an inadequacy in the development of policies and organisations to facilitate activities in
the logistics chain. As logistics breaks down the functional barriers within companies, governments
must also seek to break down the functional responsibilities of the traditional government departments
and be flexible in developing their policies.
Also, it is obvious that ICT will play a key role in transforming logistics and supply chain
planning. This suggests that the underlying policy framework developed by governments should be
flexible and responsive to the needs of both industry and society.
