Tiivistelmä
The thesis investigates the design and implementation of a new logistics organization model within a developing regional market. The study focuses on creating a structural operational framework and developing a proof of concept to demonstrate its viability in a real-world environment. Drawing on established logistics theories, organizational design principles, and supply chain methodologies, the research identifies key challenges related to network setup, resource allocation, and operational integration during the establishment of a new logistics function.
A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating qualitative insights from stakeholder interviews and quantitative analysis of process performance indicators. The resulting model outlines an optimized organizational structure, process workflow, and governance mechanism suitable for early-stage logistics operations. The proof-of-concept implementation validates the proposed framework by evaluating initial operational outcomes, identifying areas of improvement, and confirming alignment with strategic business objectives.
These findings contribute to the broader understanding of how logistics organizations can be effectively established in an emerging operational context. Furthermore, the study provides practical guidance for practitioners involved in designing, launching, or restructuring logistics functions in similar environments.
