Abstract
This report presents the results from expert interviews with Minneapolis-St. Paul companies and North Dakota manufacturing companies. The Minneapolis expert interviews helped to identify the minimal logistical capabilities a supplier must have in order to do business with the Minneapolis companies. Ten firms with membership in the Council of Logistics Management participated in these interviews. The North Dakota expert interviews identified the capabilities of small and rural manufacturers to apply logistical practices to their companies. These companies were chosen on the basis that they were likely to have business partnerships with the Minneapolis companies or to compete in similar markets.
