Beschreibung
unique introduction to distribution logistics that focuses onboth quantitative modeling and practical business issues
Introduction to Distribution Logistics presents a complete andbalanced treatment of distribution logistics by covering bothapplications and the required theoretical background, thereforeextending its reach to practitioners and students in a range ofdisciplines such as management, engineering, mathematics, andstatistics. The authors emphasize the variety and complexity ofissues and sub-problems surrounding distribution logistics as wellas the limitations and scope of applicability of the proposedquantitative tools. Throughout the book, readers are provided withthe quantitative approaches needed to handle real-life managementproblems, and areas of study include:
* Supply chain management
* Network design and transportation
* Demand forecasting
* Inventory control in single- and multi-echelon systems
* Incentives in the supply chain
* Vehicle routing
Complete with extensive appendices on probability and statisticsas well as mathematical programming, Introduction to DistributionLogistics is a valuable text for distribution logistics courses atboth the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate levels in avariety of disciplines, and prior knowledge of production planningis not assumed. The book also serves as a useful reference forpractitioners in the fields of applied mathematics and statistics,manufacturing engineering, business management, and operationsresearch. The book's related Web site includes additional sectionsand numerical illustrations.
