| In spite of being one market, Europe is still very fragmented.
Different languages, tastes, cultures, habits and regulations must be translated
into the product. To be able to be responsive to the local demand and take
specific market requirements into account, a manufacturer should customize
the product as late as possible in the supply chain. |

|
| The answer of the logistics industry in the Benelux was Value
Added Logistics. This is based on postponed manufacturing.
Instead of storing the final product in the distribution center, generic
sub-assemblies are stored. The final assembly takes place based on the
customer order. The advantage is that companies can offer a higher responsiveness
towards the market. It results in an increased customer service by having
less back-orders and flexibility for rush orders and improved stock rotations. |

| "I carry out the Quality Inspection (Q.I.) every
day. This involves conducting extensive checks on ten telephone packages
in every thousand, day after day, for each production order. In all the
time that I have worked here, the Q.I. has never revealed a serious error.
The department works very accurately." Maureen Nourkhan - Production
