Logistics professionals must utilize a broad array of analytic
techniques and approaches for decision-making. Effective use of
analytics requires an understanding of both fundamental and
advanced logistics decision-making techniques and methodologies.
Further, logistics professionals must organize and view these
analytics-based decision support tools through well-structured
planning frameworks. In this book, we illustrate and explain a wide
range of practical logistics strategies and analytic techniques to
facilitate decision-making across functions such as manufacturing,
warehousing, transportation and inventory management. We also
describe how to organize these analytics-based tools and strategies
through logistics frameworks that span strategic, tactical and
operational planning and scheduling decisions. This book is
intended for logistics professionals to use as a reference document
that offers ideas and guidance for addressing specific logistics
management decisions and challenges, and it will also serve as a
valuable resource or secondary text for graduate and advanced
undergraduate students.
