Last decade in the USA the competition between the companies-manufacturers of the goods of mass production has passed from a competition of the goods and their utilitarian characteristics to a price and qualitative competition. The increasing value gets ability of the company to provide the percentage of quality of the goods optimal for the target consumer and the price. Decrease in the cost price of the goods is reached by manufacture optimisation, but the final price and a service degree of quality directly depend on efficiency of the administrative business processes which are carried out in the company.
In order to avoid decrease in quality of production owing to considerable decrease in the cost price of the goods, the most effective is decrease and optimisation of expenses for marketing promo-actions. So, to 50 % of the price of the goods are expenses directly on management of logistics owing to what each head should be interested in optimisation of logistical processes in the company.

Choosing such strategy, the companies place target emphasis on following aspects:

Thus, for working out and introduction of effective logistical strategy it is necessary to be guided first of all by the general corporate purposes and general corporate strategy of the company as they should connect together all processes proceeding in the organisation.
