The internationalization of manufacturers' production networks increases the complexity of distribution and supply chain management. Between suppliers, factories and markets, the distance is increased and products life-cycle is accelerated. We will therefore try to identify why a manufacturer may not produce internally the necessary logistics services and rely instead on outsourcing. The efficient operation of such supply chains by multinational companies requires a reorganization in two major ways : a redesign of production and circulation of goods (postponement ...) and a redefinition of actors' roles (supplier, factory, client, transport industry) along the chain. Such changes bear opportunities for transport actors willing to organize integrated logistics services, innovate in new services, take responsibility for final service quality, and also to bear the large cost of necessary infrastructures.
