چکیده
We examine the historical relation of logistics to strategy in the NZ dairy industry, with special emphasis on OR/MS applications. We review the various ways in which efficiency has been realized in logistics in the industry (mostly through recourse to OR/MS). We especially dwell on how the structure (e.g., operating mechanisms) of the NZ dairy industry has supported and/or hindered the focus on supply chain efficiency.
