BOOK



Fierce competition in today's global market provides a powerful

motivation for developing ever more sophisticated logistics

systems. This book, written for the logistics manager and

researcher, presents a survey of the modern theory and

application of logistics. The goal of the book is to present the

state of the art in the science of logistics management



This third edition includes new chapters on the subjects of game

theory, the power of process flexibility, supply chain

competition and collaboration. Among the other materials new to

the edition are sections on discrete convex analysis and its

applications to stochastic inventory models, as well as extended

discussions of integrated inventory and pricing models. The

material presents a timely and authoritative survey of the field

that will make an invaluable companion to the work of many

researchers and practitioners



Review of earlier edition:



"The present book focuses on the application of operational

research and mathematical modelling techniques to logistics and

supply chain management (SCM) problems. The authors performed a

substantial revision of the 1st edition and included a number of

new subjects . . The book is carefully written and is an

important reference for readers with a solid background in

probability and optimisation theory . . the present book should

be seen as a valuable guide describing techniques that can be

applied or adapted to real-life situations." (OR News, Issue 25

2005)
