Book excerpt: On the basis of an analysis conducted in a freight forwarding company, Marta Anna Krajewska identifies two levels of improving logistics performance.

Secondly, the results show that on the global level the proposed horizontal collaboration concept among the independent planning units can bring substantial gains.
