Value added logistics
Value added logistics (VAL) are a combination of logistics and industrial activities. They are implemented to customize products to meet individual European country requirements.
Ideally, such operations are carried out as much as possible downstream in the supply chain.
They should increase the producer’s market flexibility and reduce logistic costs and obsolescence risks. VAL are mainly implemented in combination with European Distribution Centers for the
execution of customization and localization activities further downstream the supply chain.
Value added logistics can be divided into two groups as part of postponed manufacturing:
– General VAL for products for the pan-European market place
– VAL to customize the products per country, region and market segment

performed during the order assembly or – in case of larger quantities – as a project.
