Modern logistics comprises operative logistics, analytical
logistics and management of logistic networks. Central task of
operative logistics is the efficient supply of required goods at
the right place within the right time. Tasks of analytical
logistics are designing optimal networks and systems, developing
strategies for planning, scheduling and operation, and organizing
efficient order and performance processes. Logistic management
plans, implements and operates logistic networks and schedules
orders, stocks and resources.
This reference-book offers a unique survey of modern logistics.
It contains proven strategies, rules and tools for the solution of
a multitude of logistic problems. The analytically derived
algorithms and formulas can be used for the computer-based planning
of logistic systems and for the dynamic scheduling of orders and
resources in supply networks. They enable significant improvements
of performance, quality and costs. Their application is
demonstrated by several examples from industry, trade and service
providers.
Apart from corrections and modifications the second edition
contains a new chapter on "maritime logistics." It demonstrates how
the methods of this book can be used to solve complex logistic
problems of practical relevance for economy, society and
environment.
The book is written for professionals, scientists, teachers and
graduate students. An extensive index makes it a dictionary of
modern logistics.
