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)."

The conference proceedings contains contributions to the Logistics Management conference 2019. The objective of the LM conferences is to discuss new ideas and technical developments related to the management of logistic systems. A special focus is put on digitalization of supply chains and decarbonization in the transport industry.

rungs problem en in unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen anwen- deten [Gold89. 1, S. 126-130]. Das Optimierungsproblem in seiner allgemeinsten Form ist die Aufgabe Optimiere -+ f (x), XEM, (10) n n mit f als reellwertiger Funktion des lR und M C lR als Raum aller zulassigen Lasungen. Die Optimierung beliebiger reeller Funktionen unter Verwendung Genetischer Algorithmen wurde zuerst in der Dissertation von de Jong [Jong75] behandelt. Die von ihm experimentell untersuchten unste- tigen, nichtkonvexen, multimodalen und stochastischen Funktionen dienen in der Literatur seither als Standardprobleme zur Validierung genetischer Optimierungsstrategien, siehe etwa [MSB91]. Wird in der Formulierung der Aufgabe (10) zusatzlich die Ganzzahligkeitsbedingung an die Kompo- nenten der Lasungsvektoren x gekntipft, so fallt das Problem bekanntlich in den Bereich der kombinatorischen Optimierung. An einem einfachen Beispiel soll das konstruktive Paradigma der genetischen Optimierung ein- gefiihrt werden. Hierzu werden wir eine der Biologie entlehnte begrifHiche Analogie verwenden, die in Abschnitt 3. 2 zusammenhangend dargestellt wird. Es sei die Aufgabe 2 Max -+ f(x, y)=x -2xy+y2, O::: x, y::: k-lmitx, yElN (11) 2 mit k als Zweierpotenz, also z. B. k = 32, gegeben. Jedes der 32 unter- schiedlichen 2-Tupel, welche als potentielle Optimallasungen der Aufgabe zur Diskussion stehen, bezeichnet den Phanotyp einer zulassigen Lasung. Dieser laBt sich tiber eine Binartransformation in zwei Strings der Lange log2 k darstellen. x) = ( 25 ) 11 1 0 0 1 I (12) ( y 14 -+ 0 1 1 1 0 Die geordnete Menge binarer Strings definiert den Genotypus einer Lasung.

Hohe Flexibilitat gegenuber inhomogenen Kundenbedurfnissen, Kosteneffizienz und eine punktgenaue Lieferfahigkeit gelten als entscheidende Faktoren im globalen Wettbewerb. Damit kommt der Entwicklung leistungsfahiger Informationssysteme in der Logistik wachsende Bedeutung zu. Das Buch bietet eine umfassende Sammlung und behandelt die Themen ubergreifend.
