This book examines cross-chain control centers (4C), an ambitious
concept in supply chain management and logistics that is intended
to foster collaboration between different supply chains to increase
efficiency. It provides an overview of the main results, insights,
and other developments in the academic field of horizontal
collaboration. Furthermore, it gives recommendations to
governments, commercial companies, and academia on how to proceed
with horizontal logistics collaboration in the years to come. To
link research with practice, the book takes the Dutch project on
cross-chain collaboration centers (4Cs) and identifies a typology
of existing patterns for horizontal collaboration in supply chains.
Finally, the book zooms in on the Netherlands as a case-study of
intense public-private partnerships to develop 4C as a mature
logistics value proposition. It provides an overview of the
accomplishments in the government supported 4C projects and offers
a critical reflection of why some more ambitious and structural
solutions have not found solid ground yet. The book is of value to
researchers and professionals in the supply chain domain.
