Books in the Industrial Engineering series

The second volume of a three-volume series on global logistics management, this book focuses on recent developments and implementations of operations research techniques on selected logistic problems in emerging countries.

Academic interest in research on logistics¿a key concept of industrial engineering¿has increased rapidly throughout the years, solidifying the need for a consolidated resource on the topic. An outlet for the recent development in global logistics, this book clearly illustrates logistic problems encountered in many different application areas, and provides the state of the art on some classical applications. It highlights the richness of logistics applications in the industrial engineering discipline and how to use them.
