AB  - First, based on a review of current manufacturing trends, argues for a
new type of logistical infrastructure supporting agility and quick
response to global markets. Second, shows how this new logistical
infrastructure is being put in place. Describes the Global TransPark
project in North Carolina and its empirical support aimed at creating a
logistical environment to improve manufacturing competitiveness in an
era of international sourcing and sales and speed‐to‐market. The Global
TransPark is one, and arguably the most advanced, logistical
infrastructure for agile manufacturing being developed in the USA. Based
on findings from company surveys, it concludes that the new focus of
logistics must be the linkages within the organization and throughout
the entire organizational network.
