2007-2018 Lojistik Performans Endekslerinde Başat Aktör Olan Almanya’nın Lojistik Potansiyeli ve Stratejilerinin İncelenmesi

Almanya küresel lojistik sektörünün lider ülkelerinden birisidir. Bu durum 2007-2018 yılları arasında yayımlanmış olan Lojistik Performans Endekslerinde de açıkça görülmektedir. Almanya, yayımlanan endekslerin dördünde birinci, kalan ikisinde ise üçüncü ve dördüncü olmuştur. Tüm bu gelişmeler ülkenin lojistikteki göreceli hatta çoğu zaman mutlak başarısının altında yatan nedenlerin incelenmesini gerekli kılmıştır. Bu çalışmada 2007-2018 Lojistik Performans Endekslerinde başat aktör konumunda olan Almanya’nın lojistik potansiyelinin ve stratejilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada literatür taraması ve karşılaştırmalı SWOT analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma bulguları ekonomik potansiyeli yüksek olan Almanya’nın lojistik kapasitesinin yüksek olmasının ülkenin lojistik altyapı, iletişim ve ulaştırma sistemlerine, intermodal özellikli lojistik köy ve merkezlerine, lojistik alanda eğitime verilen öneme bağlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca ülke sürekli olarak lojistik ilerlemeyi hedeflemekte bu alanda kısa orta ve uzun dönemli plan ve stratejilerini oluşturmaktadır.
