The Logic of Logistics: Theory, Algorithms, and Applications for Logistics Management (Springer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Fierce competition in today's global market provides 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.
Part I considers the basic performance analysis techniques. In particular, tools required to perform worst-case and average-case analysis are discussed. Part II then covers vehicle routing problems and Part III concentrates on production and inventory problems. Part IV considers hierarchical problems in logistics networks and, in particular, the integration of different levels of decisions. Finally, Part V describes case studies in which decision support tools for the design and management of large-scale logistic systems are developed and used.
The result is a timely and authoritative survey of this field which many practitioners and researchers will find to be an invaluable companion to their work.

Review
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)
