IMPLICATION OF GLOBALIZATION 
? Increased volatility of customers’ demands and commodity prices 
? Increasingly complex patterns of customer demand 
? Increasing consumer expectations about customer 
service/product quality 
? Increasing cost pressure in logistics/transportation 
? Increase pressure from global competition 
? Geopolitical instability 
? Increase environmental concerns 
? Growing exposure to differing regulatory requirements 
? Increasing global markets for labor and talent 
? Increasing financial volatility

FINDINGS OF THE CSMA 2014 CONFERENCE PAPER 
CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE NAMIBIAN LOGISTICS INDUSTRY: BENCHMARKING FOR 
THE FUTURE
FINDINGS OF THE CSMA 2014 CONFERENCE PAPER 
Conclusion 
? Namibian Logistics industry is highly depended on SA 
? General “push” of inventory from the R.S.A. rather than a “pull” 
from Namibia 
? Low service level expectations 
If local standards are lower than international ones, will the LSP’s be able to 
meet global expectations if and when the opportunity arises

OUR ROLE- WE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
BENCHMARKING FOR FUTURE- CONNECTING TO 
COMPETE 
? Human Capital 
? Corporation between states 
? Integration- centralized service points 
? Change of business culture and attitude 
? Strategic partnerships 
? Infrastructure 
? PPP 
? Simplified processes
CONCLUSION 
New trade corridors between Asia and Africa, Asia and 
South America and within Asia will re-chart global 
supply chains. Trade volumes will shift towards 
emerging markets and least developed countries will 
take their first steps into the global marketplace. 
It is vital for the Namibian’s logistics industry to deliver customers 
service levels corresponding to those required by international 
shippers and at a competitive price, to achieve her vision 2030 
objectives.
