“…This study expands Bowen's (2008) study, in which he correlated the number and growth of warehouse establishments per US county to accessibility. Based on an analysis in 143 counties which were part of 50 randomly selected metropolitan statistical areas, Bowen (2008) found a high correlation between the number of warehouse establishments in a county and the county's air and highway accessibility, in 1998 and 2005.…”

“…Several authors developed accessibility measures (Ingram, 1971;Morris et al, 1978;Handy and Niemeier, 1997;Thomas et al, 2003;El-Geneidy and Levinson, 2006;Bowen, 2008). Most are specifically developed for passenger transport.…”

This paper analyzes the relationship between freight accessibility and logistics employment in the US. It develops an accessibility measure relevant for logistics companies based on a gravity model. This allows to analyze accessibility of US counties focusing on four different modes of transportation: road, rail, air, and maritime. Using a Partial Least Squares model, these four different freight accessibility measures are combined into two constructs, continental and intercontinental freight accessibility, and related to logistics employment, differentiating counties inside metropolitan areas from those outside. Results show that highly accessible non-metropolitan counties attract more logistics employment than other non-metropolitan counties. In metropolitan counties, no significant relationship was found between freight accessibility and logistics employment. This is primarily explained by the highly significant relations of both freight accessibility and logistics employment with county population.

“…The most elaborate work on location in logistics is Bowen (2008), who researched the relationship between the location of warehouses and accessibility measures of several kinds of transportation networks in the U.S. Bowen (2008) found that highway accessibility matters more than rail and especially sea accessibility. He concludes that the significant speed advantages air and road transport have over maritime and rail transport are important.…”

Just‐in‐time (JIT) is a production system that allows manufacturers to minimize the volume of inventory (component parts) at the point of production. This is achieved by ordering parts and arranging for their delivery as they are needed for incorporation into the production process. This reduces costs associated with inventory storage. While some have argued that JIT necessitates close geographic proximity between suppliers and customers, there is now sufficient evidence that efficient and effective JIT systems can be operated with a geographically distant and dispersed supply network.
