Service providers should
strive to make their logistics
services invisible, says Patrick
Kohlstaedt, general manager of
Manica Logistics.
You know you are in trouble
when the logistics chain becomes
visible – because it means that
something is going wrong, and
goods or people are not reaching
their destinations on time. If the
supply chain flows as planned,
nobody notices the logistics service
provider, says Kohlstaedt.
“Our objective is to ensure that
nothing is lost or broken along the
logistics value chain,” he adds.
“Everything must be delivered on
time.”
Manica Logistics was
established to co-ordinate the
activities across the group, and
now operates round the clock to
service the oil and gas exploration
activities currently commissioned
in Namibia.
The division provides the full
scope of project logistics and
supply chain management
services due.

and gas industry.
