The process of addressing these needs has started with the release of the National Freight Logistics Strategy, which delineates a comprehensive development framework, as well as Spoornet's growth plans for recapitalisation. This survey reflects the supply-chain innovation of the chemicals, processed foods and logistics service provider industries. The nature of supply-chain innovation reflects the varying levels of supply-chain maturity across the industries, as well as the fundamental challenges experienced by these industries. The high level of supply-chain maturity of the bulk chemical industry is reflected in the move to cross-industry collaboration to improve the utilisation of the national logistics infrastructure.The research is focused on: structural inefficiencies in the logistics system; logistics modelling with both a macro-economic and industry focus; strategies for improved supply-chain efficiency; strategies for reducing the logistics divide; logistics for improved government service deliveryenLogistics systemSupply-chain efficiencyLogistics surveyLogistics modellingConference PresentationIttmann, H., Meyer, I., Marais, M.
