Abstract
This paper presents the results of an analysis conducted to identify the major challenges in the planning, organization, execution and control of international supply chains faced by project partners. Logistics managers, logistic service providers and consultants of partners companies in the project OrGoLo as well as other partner firms were interviewed. This analysis revealed challenges in the following areas: compliance, internal processes, external processes and information. It must pointed out that regardless of the different business models of the interviewees, a remarkable consensus was observed in what are the challenges they are facing up.
