This major new textbook takes a fresh look at logistics management and strategy. The authors adopt an integrative approach to examine the workings of modern logistics, management tools and techniques within the context of logistics strategy. Divided into four parts, centered around a model for logistics, the book guides the reader through the subject in logical stages: Part One presents an introduction to logistics and its contribution to competitiveness, customer service and the creation of value. Part Two focuses on leveraging logistics operations within the overall context of service and cost performance objectives. Part Three focuses on supplier interfaces, and on the challenges of integrating the supply network. Part Four considers current leading edge thinking in logistics and looks to future challenges.
