A logistics system (LS) refers to a network of information, individuals, assets, entities and activities concerned with the physical movement of goods from supplier to customer. The three primary functions of LS are order processing, inventory management and freight transportation. It is a part of supply chain management that is used to efficiently move and store relevant information, services and goods from point of origin to point of consumption in order to satisfy the needs of consumers. Warehousing is crucial in LS due to the delivery of appropriate levels of customer service in conjunction with other logistics activities. Transportation is also an essential component of the LS and effective supply chains depend on quick, adaptable as well as reliable transportation. This book contains some path-breaking studies on logistics systems. It outlines an interdisciplinary and multimodal analysis of these systems in detail. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
