The authors emphasize the variety and complexity of issues and sub-problems surrounding distribution logistics as well as the limitations and scope of applicability of the proposed quantitative tools. Throughout the book, readers are provided with the quantitative approaches needed to handle real-life management problems, and areas of study include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupply chain management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNetwork design and transportation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemand forecasting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInventory control in single- and multi-echelon systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncentives in the supply chain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVehicle routing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eComplete with extensive appendices on probability and statistics as well as mathematical programming, Introduction to Distribution Logistics is a valuable text for distribution logistics courses at both the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate levels in a variety of disciplines, and prior knowledge of production planning is not assumed.
