Books in the Lecture Notes in Logistics series

The series of Interdisciplinary Conferences on Production, Logistics and Traffic (ICPLT) address the research community as well as practitioners in these fields with special attention to links and interfaces between the three disciplines. The fourth ICPLT in particular deals with technology from intralogistics to automated trucking driving as well as the societal aspects of commercial transport.To contribute to a high-level and beneficial exchange between authorities in politics and municipalities with researchers and practitioners in production and logistics management the ICPLT has asked for contributions from the three disciplines to better understand innovative technologies, best practises and latest results. These contributions have been evaluated and selected based on a double-blind review process to become part of this book. It comprises 21 contributions examining trends and challenges for commercial transport as the essential link for production, logistics and society. Therefore, innovative technologies and strategies are presented and discussed to better understand the interdependencies, conflicts of interest and to develop feasible solutions. Topics· Simulation & Optimization in Production and Logistics· Freight Transport Demand Modelling· Intralogistics & Logistics Facilities· Policy & Human Factors· Production & Maintenance· Supply Chain Management· Sustainable Logistics & Energy Target Groups· Representatives of public authorities, municipalities & politics· Actors of sectoral, transport & spatial planning· Actors of production & logistics· Researchers in the disciplines production, logistics, transport & spatial planning

This book covers topics such as digitalization of production, operations, logistics and supply chains leading to new requirements for human capabilities and collaboration. A special focus is directed towards an interdisciplinary perspective, including management science, economics, sociology, work science, computer science and psychology.

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.

The conference proceedings contains contributions to the Logistics Management conference 2019. The objective of the LM conferences is to discuss new ideas and technical developments related to the management of logistic systems. A special focus is put on digitalization of supply chains and decarbonization in the transport industry.

This book provides an overview of important trends and developments in logistics and supply chain research, making them available to practitioners, while also serving as a point of reference for academicians.

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.

These proceedings contain research papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics, held in Bremen, Germany, February 2016.

This edited monograph contains a comprehensive overview of educational developments in the fields of operations research (OR) and management science (MS). The book outlines key factors in OR/MS curricular programs and analyses different approaches regarding student enrollment and failure rates.

This contributed volume brings together research papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics, held in Bremen, Germany in February 2014. The growing dynamic poses wholly new challenges: logistics processes and networks must be(come) able to rapidly and flexibly adapt to constantly changing conditions.

This book provides an insight of relevant case studies and updated practices in "PharmaceuticalSupply Chains" (PharmSC) while addressing the most relevant topics within the COST Action "Medicines Shortages" (CA15105).The volume focuses on the most recent developments in the design, planning and scheduling ofPharmSC, broadening from the suppliers' selection to the impact on patients and healthcaresystems, addressing uncertainty and risk mitigation, and computational issues. It is directed at MSc/PhD students and young researchers (Post-Docs) in Pharmaceutics/Pharmaceutical sciences, Engineering fields, Economics/Management, as well as pharmaceutical decision makers, managers, and practitioners, and advanced readers demanding a fresh approach to decision making for PharmSC. The contributed chapters are associated with the homonymous COST Training Schools (TS), and the book creates a better understanding of the Action "Medicines Shortages" challenges and opportunities.

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