Is Logistics a science? – The importance and impact of logistics as a function which is critical to the success of companies, of entire industries, and even of nations competing in the global economy, is no longer questioned today. Logistics, within a few decades, has established itself firmly as a profession, an important field of sophisticated managerial practices, and as a large, powerful industry. But in the academic world the question of its status and identity as a science is still being debated. This volume aims to contribute to this debate in two ways: It offers a selection of “classical”, in some cases hard to access original international contributions to the evolution of the field in one convenient volume of readings. As such, it should be useful to students of the field, to researchers, and to practitioners who are interested in tracing the logistical ideas and instruments they are using down to their conceptual “roots”. Beyond that, by the arrangement and commentaries to the original materials, the editors are proposing their own innovative interpretation of the evolution and identity of the “Science of Logistics”. It is an invitation to further debate the potential and future of logistics.

It has been said that every generation of historians seeks to rewrite what a previous generation had established as the standard interpretations of the motives and circumstances shaping the fabric of historical events. It is not that the facts of history have changed. No one will dispute that the battle of Waterloo occurred on June 11, 1815 or that the allied invasion of Europe began on June 6, 1944. What each new age of historians are attempting to do is to reinterpret the motives of men and the force of circumstance impacting the direction of past events based on the factual, social, intellectual, and cultural milieu of their own generation. By examining the facts of history from a new perspective, today's historians hope to reveal some new truth that will not only illuminate the course of history but also validate contempo rary values and societal ideals. Although it is true that tackling the task of developing a new text on logistics and distribution channel management focuses less on schools of philosophical and social analysis and more on the calculus of managing sales campaigns, inventory replenishment, and income statements, the goal of the management scientist, like the historian, is to merge the facts and figures of the discipline with today's organizational, cultural, and economic realities. Hopefully, the result will be a new synthesis, where a whole new perspective will break forth, exposing new directions and opportunities.

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1, Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh, language: English, abstract: ‘The real challenge is to improve the capabilities across supply chains significantly in order to drive out cost and realize revenue benefits – fast’ (Gattorna 2003, p.4). This statement both demon-strates the importance for enterprises and emphasizes the complexity of the supply chain require-ments these days. In times of strong competition almost everywhere it is especially important to meet customer needs and thus ‘achieving high levels of service’ (Taylor 1997, p.3). But where does Supply Chain Management (SCM) have its roots and what stands behind it? The purpose of this essay is to critically evaluate the development of SCM. It will both include an explanation of the differences between logistics and SCM and its reasons as well as an explana-tion why supply chain managers are now part of the senior management group. Therefore, the history of physical distribution, logistics and SCM will be mentioned, these three central terms will be defined precisely and four academic strategic approaches will be introduced briefly.

In a world in which global trade is at risk, where warehouses and airports, shipping lanes and seaports try to guard against the likes of Al Qaeda and Somali pirates, and natural disaster can disrupt the flow of goods, even our “stuff” has a political life. The high stakes of logistics are not surprising, Deborah Cowen reveals, if we understand its genesis in war. In The Deadly Life of Logistics, Cowen traces the art and science of logistics over the last sixty years, from the battlefield to the boardroom and back again. Focusing on choke points such as national borders, zones of piracy, blockades, and cities, she tracks contemporary efforts to keep goods circulating and brings to light the collective violence these efforts produce. She investigates how the old military art of logistics played a critical role in the making of the global economic order—not simply the globalization of production, but the invention of the supply chain and the reorganization of national economies into transnational systems. While reshaping the world of production and distribution, logistics is also actively reconfiguring global maps of security and citizenship, a phenomenon Cowen charts through the rise of supply chain security, with its challenge to long-standing notions of state sovereignty and border management. Though the object of corporate and governmental logistical efforts is commodity supply, The Deadly Life of Logistics demonstrates that they are deeply political—and, considered in the context of the long history of logistics, deeply indebted to the practice of war.

About the Book Web Page This book provides a primer for the logistics novice and a reference for the experienced practitioner. It looks at a 21st century world view of the logistics field, both from a commercial and a military perspective. It addresses the management of resources for man-made systems and operations, with the aim "to promote the general welfare", and "provide for the common defense". A prologue introduces concepts of logistics that are lost in time, beginning with the dawn of civilization, that have shaped the logistics of today. The "Logistics Technology and Acquisition" Section summarizes the history of logistics from earliest beginnings to the late 20th century, as described by many authors. A new logistics paradigm having three determining factors - "systems", "operations", and "resources" is given for the 21st century by this author to simplify the convoluted aspects of the many processes of the logistics field. Each of these factors is described in some detail. An evolutionary life cycle ("creation to obsolescence") of a complex system is modeled, having three tracks; (1) a systems evolution track, (2) a logistics evolution track, and (3) a "supply chain" track, interrelated with one another, specified in phases as a step-by-step series of processes. Logistics contributions to system design and development emphasizes, defines, and analyzes the functions of "supportability" as a primary attribute of design. Techniques of systems and operations analysis is introduced leading to a detailed discussion of logistics analysis as the determinant of operations and support resources. Logistics analysis information, together with management and engineering information, provides a single information source for the subsequent design of the "logistics system" (i.e. the products of subsequent logistics support). This becomes a common traceable source for trade-offs and decision-making for further acquisition of the needed resources. A discussion of the relationships of logistics (supportability) and economics provides a basis for understanding of the concept of system/product life-cycle-cost. Included in this treatise are the relationships of logistics cost and value over the life cycle of a system or product. Design of a "support system" is described from the perspective of resource information with a short description of needed resources (i.e. material, information, supply, facility), An overall picture is presented for a "logistics system" design in terms of required resources. The "Logistics Operations" Section describes the three primary functions of logistics operations as" maintenance", "supply", and "training". Each of these is correlated to the systems/logistics life cycle phases as evolutionary processes. Maintenance is described in terms of levels, actions, and resources. The scope of Supply, considered by some as the most significant aspect of logistics, is defined from various sources, and in terms of the system life cycle. Processes of supply, and "the supply chain", introduces the authors viewpoint of "logistics of the enterprise", and "enterprise resource management". The subject of Training comprises the final chapter, again in terms of the system/logistics life cycle. Training as a system is considered, involving design and development, operations and evaluation. Training operations and methods complete this discussion. This book of logistics essentials concludes with an epilog describing some ideas of the future of logistics in the 21st century. It refers to both commercial, global concerns as well as military/defense concerns. We will have to wait to see the actual processes that will evolve, based on the advances of technology.

Every time you wheel a shopping cart through one of Walmart’s more than 10,000 stores worldwide, or swipe your credit card or purchase something online, you enter a mind-boggling logistical regime. Even if you’ve never shopped at Walmart, its logistics have probably affected your life. The Rule of Logistics makes sense of its spatial and architectural ramifications by analyzing the stores, distribution centers, databases, and inventory practices of the world’s largest corporation. The Rule of Logistics tells the story of Walmart’s buildings in the context of the corporation’s entire operation, itself characterized by an obsession with logistics. Beginning with the company’s founding in 1962, Jesse LeCavalier reveals how logistics—as a branch of knowledge, an area of work, and a collection of processes—takes shape and changes our built environment. Weaving together archival material with original drawings, LeCavalier shows how a diverse array of ideas, people, and things—military theory and chewing gum, Howard Dean and satellite networks, Hudson River School painters and real estate software, to name a few—are all connected through Walmart’s logistical operations and in turn are transforming how its buildings are conceptualized, located, built, and inhabited. A major new contribution to architectural history and theory, The Rule of Logistics helps us understand how retailing today is changing our bodies, brains, buildings, and cities and predicts what future forms architecture might take when shaped by systems that exceed its current capacities.

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1, Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh (School of Management and Languages), language: English, abstract: When logistics is debated in general public, people mostly consider trucks, truck-drivers and noise. These aspects certainly belong to the broad business area related to logistics and nowadays Supply Chain Management (SCM). However it is easy to say that logistics and SCM contain a lot more than this. Critically evaluating the development of SCM over the last 30 years is the purpose of this essay. Doing so it is meant to involve a description of the development from physical distribution, via logistics to SCM, a confrontation of logistics and SCM and an explanation why supply chain managers are now part of the senior management group.

This third edition provides operations management students, academics and professionals with a fully up-to-date, practical and comprehensive sourcebook in the science of distribution and Supply Chain Management (SCM). Its objective is not only to discover the roots and detail the techniques of supply and delivery channel networks, but also to explore the impact of the merger of SCM concepts and information technologies on all aspects of internal business and supply channel management. This textbook provides a thorough and sometimes analytical view of the topic, while remaining approachable from the standpoint of the reader. Although the text is broad enough to encompass all the management activities found in today's logistics and distribution channel organizations, it is detailed enough to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of essential strategic and tactical planning and control processes, as well as problem-solving techniques that can be applied to everyday operations. Distribution Planning and Control: Managing in the Era of Supply Chain Management, 3rd Ed. is comprised of fifteen chapters, divided into five units. Unit 1 of the text, The SCM and Distribution Management Environment, sets the background necessary to understand today’s supply chain environment. Unit 2, SCM Strategies, Channel Structures and Demand Management, reviews the activities involved in performing strategic planning, designing channel networks, forecasting and managing channel demand. Unit 3, Inventory Management in the Supply Chain Environment, provides an in-depth review of managing supply chain inventories, statistical inventory management, and inventory management in a multiechelon channel environment. Unit 4, Supply Chain Execution, traces the translation of the strategic supply chain plans into detailed customer and supplier management, warehousing and transportation operations activities. Finally Unit 5, International Distribution and Supply Chain Technologies, concludes the text by exploring the role of two integral elements of SCM: international distribution management and the deployment of information technologies in the supply chain environment. Each chapter includes summary questions and problems to challenge readers to their knowledge of concepts and topics covered. Additionally supplementary materials for instructors are also available as tools for learning reinforcement.
