Global competition and growing costumer expectations force indus
trial enterprises to reorganize their business processes and to
support cost-effective customer services. Realizing the potential
savings to be gained by exacting customer-delivery processes,
logistics is currently sub ject to incisive changes. This upheaval
aims at making competitive ad vantage from logistic services
instead of viewing them simply as business necessity. With respect
to this focus logistics management comprises the process of
planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective
flow and storage of goods and services, and related information
from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of
conforming customer requirements I . This definition implies a
holistic view on the logistic network, where the actors are
suppliers, manufacturers, stock keepers, shipping agents,
distributors, retailers and finally consumers. The flow of goods
along the supply chain considers raw-materials, work-in-process
parts, intermedi ate and finished products, and possibly waste. The
prevailing manage ment of logistics operation is driven by
aggregated forecasting of these material flows. Modern logistics
management propagates a disaggregated view of the material flow in
order to meet the precise requirements at the interface between
actors in the supply chain. Replacing aggregated information by
detailed values establishes the prerequisites for an integrated
process planning which goes for the shift from anticipatory towards
response based logistic81. Smaller units of goods are considered at
shorter periods for planning, implementing and controlling the
material flow. From Icf. the Council of Logistics Management
(1995)."
