Bücher der Reihe Lecture Notes in Logistics

Since 2007, the biennial International Conferences on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC) offers researchers and practitioners from logistics, operations research, production, industrial and electrical engineering as well as from computer science an opportunity to meet and to discuss the latest developments in this particular research domain.

Humanitarian Logistics and Sustainability

This contributed volume presents a collection of materials on supply chain management including industry-based case studies addressing petrochemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and reverse logistics topics.

This contributed volume presents selected research papers from the 8th workshop on Logistics and Supply Chain Management, which was held in October 2013 in Berkeley, California. It focuses on the topical issue of quantitative approaches in logistics and supply chain management, mainly covering facility location and location routing;

The papers reflect the current state-of-the-art in logistics and supply chain management, focusing on environmental sustainability in logistics and supply chain network dynamics and control.

This edited monograph brings together research papers covering the state of the art in cloud computing for logistics. The book includes general business object models for intralogistics as well as user-friendly methods for logistics business process design. It also presents a general template for logistics applications from the cloud.

The volume comprises the proceedings of the third International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics LDIC 2012. The scope of the conference targeted the identification, analysis, and description of the dynamics of logistic processes and networks. The spectrum ranged from the modeling and planning of processes and innovative methods like autonomous control and knowledge management to the new technologies provided by radio frequency identification, mobile communication, and networking. The growing dynamics in the area of logistics poses completely new challenges: Logistic processes and networks must rapidly and flexibly adapt to continuously changing conditions. LDIC 2012 provided a venue for researchers from academia and industry interested in the technical advances in dynamics in logistics. The conference addressed research in logistics from a wide range of fields, e.g. engineering, computer science and operations research. The volume consists of two invited papers and of 49 contributed papers divided into various subjects including transport logistics, routing in dynamic logistic networks, modeling, simulation, optimization and collaboration in logistics, identification technologies, mathematical modeling in transport and production logistics, information, communication, risk and failure in logistic systems, autonomous control in logistic processes, global supply chains and industrial applications, and the Internet of Things in the context of logistics.

The papers reflect the current state-of-the-art in logistics and supply chain management, focusing on environmental sustainability in logistics and supply chain network dynamics and control.

Presenting research results of the EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr, Germany, this book explores freight transport management, green logistics, supply chain design and urban delivery as well as competitiveness, education and training.

The importance of logistics in all its variations is still increasing. New technologies emerge, new planning methods and algorithms are developed, only to face a market with a growing complexity and the need of weighting monetary costs against ecological impact. Mastering these challenges requires a scientific viewpoint on logistics, but always with applications in mind.This volume presents up-to-date logistics research in all its diversity and interconnectedness. It grew out of the ¿International Logistics Science Conference¿ (ILSC) held in Dortmund in September 2013, bringing together leading scientists and young academics from nine different countries. The conference was jointly organized by the ¿Efficiency Cluster Logistics¿ and the ¿Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics¿.The Program Committee used a double blind review process to choose the 12 strongest contributions, which were then grouped in four areas:- Sustainability logistics, including electric mobility, smart information, communication technologies and corporate social responsibility management - Intralogistics, including the detection of autonomous vehicles, 3D computer vision and sensor functions for forklift trucks- Transport logistics, including distribution centre organization, delivery performance in railway systems and logistics reference modelling- Logistics facilities, including environmental impact of container ports, parcel sorting systems and model based systems engineering.

This practical book gives detailed instructions how to use value stream mapping to analyse and optimize production, even in difficult cases. It is the first book to describe the core method of lean production (value stream mapping) in a very systematic way.

The practicability of Supply Chain Safety Management is highlighted by various case studies.The book "Supply Chain Safety Management: Achieving Security and Robustness in Logistics" targets both the areas of science and of practice.

This book offers a stable definition of sustainability, which is able to serve as an anchor for further research. It compares new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics).

This contributed volume contains the selected and reviewed papers of the 2nd Interdisciplinary Conference on Production, Logistics and Traffic (ICPLT) 2015, Dortmund, Germany.

The contributions are grouped in five main sections, each representing key domains in the evolution of logistics and supply chain management: sustainability, urban logistics, value chain management, IT-based innovation, knowledge management.

This contributed volume contains the selected and thoroughly reviewed research papers presented at the conference on logistics management LM2015 in Braunschweig, Germany.
