The Logic of Logistics Theory, Algorithms, and Applications for Logistics Management

The Logic of Logistics Theory, Algorithms, and Applications for Logistics Management / by David Simchi-Levi, Xin Chen, Julien Bramel.

This book grew out a number of distribution and logistics graduate courses we have taught over the last ten years. In the first few years, the emphasis was on very basic models such as the traveling salesman problem, and on the seminal papers of Haimovich and Rinnooy Kan (1985), which analyzed a sim...
