businesses are facing with some difficulties in aggressively competing with rivals, especially
in Vietnamese market. To maintain business operation, CEO of some enterprises must give
solutions/strategies to solve problems/difficulties timely. Of effective strategies, supply chain
management is an effective tool for many businesses to implement their strategies.

transportation to customers for improving activities and competitive advantages. In recent
years, a demand on bulk cement product is increasing more and more while there is a lack of
potential transportation service providers. With an appropriate transportation strategy

can meet all requirements from customers on time.

cement product transportation in HVL. The main factors analyzed in this research are related
to the legal requirement about tankers, transporters at HVL. And more importantly, the case
