The Logic of Logistics [electronic resource] : Theory, Algorithms, and Applications for Logistics and Supply Chain Management /
Simchi-Levi, David.author.
Chen, Xin.author.
Bramel, Julien.author.
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.
