Innovative Process Optimization Methods in Logistics

Logistics is a key enabler of supply chain collaboration, thus minutely optimized processes in this field allow supply chains to increase their efficiency respectively. In this context, an important task of process optimization approaches is to find innovative methods which enhance logistic structures and supply chains for a better and more efficient fulfillment of customer needs.

This volume edited by Thorsten Blecker, Wolfgang Kersten and Christian Lüthje provides a valuable insight into:

• novel concepts and approaches in logistics process optimization and supply chain efficiency
• pioneering approaches in modern supply chain design
• concrete cases of performance driven supply chain optimization
• innovative technological solutions in logistics and supply chain management

This volume appeals to practitioners and researchers alike, who are interested in current contributions by international authors, providing theoretical, empirical and case-study oriented background and information on their research work.
