Tiivistelmä
Logistics and supply chain management operations are of great importance to organisations ranging from small and medium size enterprises to giant multinational. Logistics operations are inevitable in an organisation and function as an integral part in boosting the supply chain process. Therefore, logistics operations cannot be underestimated.
This thesis was aimed at analyzing the ease with which logistics operations are executed in Ahola Transport OY. Revenues and operating expenses for the past four years of the case company were used as the values in measuring operational efficiency. Findings from the concept of supply chain management and logistics were discussed with the help of journals, books, online materials, websites and notes taken from courses done during my years of studies at Centria University of Applied Sciences.
Based on the findings of the thesis, it shows that the company is operating efficiently, which indicates success in the organization operating activities. Also, the study revealed that the major political, economic, ecological and technological factors that could be threatening the company’s future success are changing government policies, taxation system, climate change, exchange rate fluctuations and transport intelligence respectively.
