Abstract
The complexity of globalisation emphasises the relevance for Multinational Companies (MNCs) for coordinating logistics flows within Global Supply Chains (GSCs). The aim of this paper is to analyse GSC planning configuration, describing the drivers determining the adoption of different degrees of planning centralisation. We developed a framework for studying the configuration of GSC planning, applying it to 10 primary MNCs. Finally, we analysed the stages of the supply chain (i.e., inbound logistics, production, outbound logistics) primarily involved in the centralisation choices, describing the main managerial approaches implemented when supply chain planning centralisation is undertaken.
