Abstract
Continuous cost pressure causes companies to move production sites to low cost countries. Although production costs decline, logistics costs are negatively affected. Individual companies with limited shipment volumes do not have access to cost efficient and highly productive transport networks.Multimodal, cross-company logistics models are one approach to open up the potentials of transport networks for companies. This paper deals with the conceptual design and evaluation of cross-company logistics models. A new, holistic simulation and evaluation model was designed for development support of multimodal logistics concepts and potentials are validated instancing an example region.
