Distribution logistics have been strongly affected by economic trends: globalization of markets; deregulation of the European freight traffic; a growing part of just-in time deliveries and both increased competition and strategic co-operation between all parties involved. The text covers in a systematic way all the strategic, tactical and operational planning of distribution systems and processes. It provides an overview of the relevant quantitative models and techniques as well as of applications in industry, presented through numerous case studies.
