Abstract

Learning Objectives Establishing and maintaining the logistics systems is capital-intensive. This is true for systems in both macro-logistics and micro-logistics. Therefore, issues of investment and financing play a central role in logistics. A cross-company view on supply chain management, on additional financial and investment figures, and – as a consequence – on the capital flows and payment processes in the financial supply chain offers additional approaches to optimize fragmentation and collaboration within value chains. This chapter aims to familiarize the reader with the management of capital requirement, capital utilization, and net working capital. Different forms of investment financing will highlight the strategic significance of financing. Established and novel concepts relating to this will be presented and service providers for financing stock inventory, logistics real estate, and logistics movables will be introduced. By considering the various agents in logistics chains, the reader will be provided with guidelines as to the optimization of financing and of financing processes, and insights into the strategic and operational relationship between financing and logistics will be given.
