Description
An introduction to the visualisation and analysis of data in logistics and the supply chain, with an emphasis on statistics and data mining. Technology is also examined and case studies look in detail at Big Data, knowledge management, and visualization. Finally, the future of the area is considered.
Across the supply chain information is now gathered and monitored in real time. To maximise the potential of such data logisticians must to be able to analyse, explore and visualise their data, better allowing them to build leaner, more agile and more reflexive supply chains.
Suitable for students, as well as practitioners, this book gives a clear practical guide to the key concepts and uses of data within logistics.
