Achieving state-of-the-art excellence and attaining the cost
reductions associated with outstanding logistics efforts is an
obvious gain in terms of competitive edge and profitability. As
logistics tools evolve in comprehensiveness and complexity, and the
use of these new tools becomes more pervasive, maintaining a
position of leadership in logistics functions also becomes
increasingly difficult. And in spite of its importance not only to
the bottom line but also to the functionality of your operations,
logistics improvement often lags industry requirements. Taking a
unique engineering approach, the Logistics Engineering Handbook
provides comprehensive coverage of traditional methods and
contemporary topics. The book delineates basic concepts and
practices, provides a tutorial for common problems and solution
techniques, and discusses current topics that define the state of
the logistics market. It covers background information that defines
engineering logistics, activities and implementation,
transportation management, enabling technologies, and emerging
trends. Each chapter includes either a brief case study overview of
an industrially motivated problem or a tutorial using fabricated
data designed to highlight important issues. Presentation,
organization, and quality of content set this book a part. Its most
distinctive feature is the engineering focus, instead of the more
usual business/supply chain focus, that provides a mathematically
rigorous treatment without being overly analytical. Another
important characteristic is the emphasis on transportation
management, especially freight transportation. The section on
emerging and growing trends makes the handbook particularly useful
to the savvy logistics professional wishing to exploit possible
future trends in logistics practice. The handbook is a one-stop
shopping location for logistics engineering reference materials
ranging from basics to traditional problems, to state-of-the-market
concerns.
