| Summary: | Global Logistics Management focuses on the evolution of logistics in the last two decades, and highlights recent developments from a worldwide perspective. The book details a wide range of application-oriented studies, from metropolitan bus routing problems to relief logistics, and introduces the state of the art on some classical applications. The book addresses typical logistic problems, most specifically the vehicle routing problem (VRP), followed by a series of analyses and discussions on various logistics problems plaguing airline and marine systems. The authors address problems encountered in continuous space, and discuss the issue of consolidation, scheduling, and replenishment decisions together with routing. They propose a methodology that supports decision making at a tactical and operational level associated with daily inventory management, and also examine the three-echelon logistic network.
