 Print this article | Send to Colleague
Södra, Sweden, this week reported that it is creating a new unit for the group functions of purchasing, productivity, and logistics. A new Södra-wide logistics function, Södra Logistics, is being formed with a view to guaranteeing added value from logistics across the entire Södra group.
Oskar Karlsson will take over as the new director of purchasing, effective September 15, and recruitment of a head of logistics is set to commence immediately. There will be no changes in productivity. The heads of the three areas (Purchasing, Logistics, and Productivity) will be reporting to Beatrice Kämpe Nikolausson, who will be the director of the new collective unit.
More in-depth charting of existing logistics operations will take place over the autumn, before the future organizational structure for Södra Logistics is decided. Staff will be allocated to the new function in the spring of 2012. Operational responsibility for call-offs, receiving, and loading will remain with the relevant business areas.
