Description
Fierce competition in today's global market provides a powerful motivation for developing ever more sophisticated logistics systems. This book, written for the logistics manager and researcher, presents a survey of the modern theory and application of logistics. The goal of the book is to present the state of the art in the science of logistics management. As a result, the authors have written a timely and authoritative survey of this field that many practitioners and researchers will find makes an invaluable companion to their work.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The present book focuses on the application of operational research and mathematical modelling techniques to logistics and supply chain management (SCM) problems. The authors performed a substantial revision of the 1st edition and included a number of new subjects . . The book is carefully written and is an important reference for readers with a solid background in probability and optimisation theory . . the present book should be seen as a valuable guide describing techniques that can be applied or adapted to real-life situations." (Teresa Melo, OR News, Issue 25, 2005)
