Using real-life examples, Brandimarte and Zotteri (quantitative methods for finance and logistics, and industrial engineering, respectively, Politecnico di Torino) focus on supply chain management for students of mathematics, business, economics, statistics and optimization by emphasizing quantification and showing how to build models that effectively support logistic decisions. They cover network design and transportation, forecasting, inventory management with determinant demand, the stochastic case for inventory control and managing inventories in multi-echelon supply chains, incentives in the supply chain and vehicle routing. For those needing extra help they provide extended appendices on probability, statistics and mathematical programming. The result requires a degree of mathematical sophistication but gives students a good grounding in both theory and intermediate to advanced practice.

unique introduction to distribution logistics that focuses on both quantitative modeling and practical business issues

Introduction to Distribution Logistics presents a complete and balanced treatment of distribution logistics by covering both applications and the required theoretical background, therefore extending its reach to practitioners and students in a range of disciplines such as management, engineering, mathematics, and statistics. The authors emphasize the variety and complexity of issues and sub-problems surrounding distribution logistics as well as the limitations and scope of applicability of the proposed quantitative tools. Throughout the book, readers are provided with the quantitative approaches needed to handle real-life management problems, and areas of study include:

  • Supply chain management
  • Network design and transportation
  • Demand forecasting
  • Inventory control in single- and multi-echelon systems
  • Incentives in the supply chain
  • Vehicle routing

Complete with extensive appendices on probability and statistics as well as mathematical programming, Introduction to Distribution Logistics is a valuable text for distribution logistics courses at both the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate levels in a variety of disciplines, and prior knowledge of production planning is not assumed. The book also serves as a useful reference for practitioners in the fields of applied mathematics and statistics, manufacturing engineering, business management, and operations research. The book's related Web site includes additional sections and numerical illustrations.
