This book contributes a basic framework for and specific insights into interdisciplinary connections between production, logistics, and traffic subsystems. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which presents an overview of interdisciplinarity in value-added networks and freight traffic. This includes an introduction to the topic and a description of an integrated framework of production, logistics, and traffic. Furthermore, it describes the barriers and challenges of interdisciplinary decision-making and project management. In turn, the second part presents domain-specific perspectives on interdisciplinary decision support, exploring domain-specific challenges of interdisciplinary interfaces and requirements for management methods and instruments from the standpoint of production management, logistics management, traffic management, and information technologies.

Urban Freight Transportation Systems offers new insights into the complexities of today's urban freight transport system. It provides a much needed multidisciplinary perspective from researchers in not only transportation, but also engineering, business management, planning and the law. The book examines numerous critical issues, such as strategies for delivery, logistics and freight transport spatial patterns, urban policy assessment, innovative transportation technologies, urban hubs, and the role factories play in the urban freight transport system. The book offers a novel conceptual approach for addressing the problems of production, logistics and traffic in an urban context. As most of the world's population now live in cities, thus significantly increasing commercial traffic, there are numerous challenges for efficiently and sustainably delivering goods into cities. This book provides solutions and tactics to those challenges.

Ralf Elbert untersucht, wie alle Akteure in Unternehmen die Wertsteigerung als Handlungsprinzip verfolgen konnen. Durch ein qualitatives Experiment in der Logistik wird deutlich, dass die Logistiker durch die Adaption des von ihm entwickelten Ethnocodes der Sprache der Wertsteigerung in Form des VALUESCORECARD-Konzepts tatsachlich wertsteigernde Handlungspraktiken produzieren und reproduzieren konnen.

In diesem Buch wird das Thema Netzkompetenz in der Logistik sowohl hinsichtlich der theoretischen Grundlagen als auch im Hinblick auf die praktische Umsetzung (Supply Chain Relationship Management und Financial Supply Chain Management) untersucht. Die Gestaltungsoptionen wurden im Rahmen von Fallstudien in enger Zusammenarbeit mit neun Unternehmen aus den Branchen Automobil, Logistik, Handel, Konsumguter und High-Tech (DaimlerChrysler, dm-drogerie markt, DHL, Douglas, IBM, Otto Gruppe, Siemens Medical Solutions, Siemens VDO und Woolworth) abgeleitet.

Zur Ausgestaltung des strategischen Flughafenmanagements stutzt sich Michael Trumpfheller auf Ansatze des strategischen Managements und unterscheidet die Flughafentypen Hub-Flughafen, O&D-Flughafen und Low-Cost-Flughafen anhand ihrer strategischen Positionierung und Wertschopfung. Fallstudien der Flughafen Frankfurt/Main, Koln/Bonn, Munster/Osnabruck und Frankfurt-Hahn bestatigen die Anwendbarkeit der entwickelten Typologie und bieten die Basis fur Handlungsempfehlungen."
