For example, a customer looking for a product would go visit the store where he knew he could find it and buy it or get information from there. Today, customers have plenty of alternatives for getting the products they need. Therefore, the logistics management process has to adapt and take the products where the customers want. The supply chain management process has become a customer driven one (Mason, Lalwani, Boughton, 2007). In this context, the logistic relationships require a new level of relationships. The most common ones are the vertical relationships, with companies with different positions in the value chain (upstream or downstream) working together for increasing the overall efficiency of the chain. On the upstream supply side, the vertical relationship will increase the technical and operational capabilities of the logistical process (Tomlinson, Fai, 2016). For example, a manufacturer or retailer will work together with its upstream partners for decreasing the delivery time and costs by choosing the right transport and packaging methods. On the downstream supply side, the vertical relationship will enhance the levels of innovation by collecting the feedback from the customers and implementing it throXXXXXX the value XXXXX (Tomlinson, XXX, XXXX). XX XXXX ways (upstream and downstream), the vertical XXXXXXXX relationship will involve XXXXXXXXX but codependent companies. For XXXXXXX, XXX car XXXXX is XXXXXXXXX on XXX XXXX maker XXX depends on XXX XXXXXX farmer and so on. XX XXX horizontal XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX, XXX XXXXXXXX are part of the XXXX line or XXXXXXXX on the XXXXXX XXXXX.
