FUNCTION OF FREE ZONES IN TERMS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of free zones in terms of supply chain management and the effect of integrating free zones into supply chains on supply chain cost. In this conceptual study, the literature review of free zones with supply chain management was done and the effect of free zones on the supply chain was analysed. In the study, it has been found that free zones, where a wide range of incentives are accepted outside the customs area in terms of customs and tax legislation, offer cheaper production, assembly and storage opportunities within the framework of legal legislation, therefore, the integration of free zones into the supply chain will contribute to the reduction of supply chain costs. With globalization, the interdependence of resources and the rise of competition to unprecedented levels force businesses to excel in supply chain performances. To this end, free zones, where incentives are provided that can lower production costs, can help increase the profitability of supply chains. The shift of production to overseas and recent changes in global trends, regulations and procedures reveal the necessity of reassessment of free zones in terms of business perspective.
