s a consequence of increased globalisation, the competition among companies is growing and new ways have to be found to succeed in the new business climate. The purpose of this thesis is to describe logistics collaboration in supply chains. During the past two decades, a new trend towards integration and collaboration in supply chains has been recognized among researchers as well as among business practitioners. This philosophy is called supply chain management and has received enormous attention in logistics research.
