Logistics Resources
International is dedicated to logistics consulting, education, and research.
We define logistics broadly as the flow of material and information between
consumers and suppliers. In our definition of logistics we include the
interdependent processes of customer service and order processing, inventory
planning and management, supply, transportation and distribution, and
warehousing.
In customer service and order
processing we include customer service policy design, order entry, order
processing, status communication, invoicing, etc. In inventory planning and
management we include forecasting, fill rate policy design, order quantity
engineering, replenishment design, and deployment. In supply we include
supply chain integration, supplier relationships, procurement, and
manufacturing engineering. In transportation and distribution we include
logistics network design, routing and scheduling, shipment planning and
tracking, mode selection, and carrier selection. In warehousing we include
cross docking, receiving and putaway, storage and
handling systems, order picking, shipping, and layout.
Our logistics planning
methodology addresses in turn performance measures and goals, process design,
information systems and infrastructure, and organization design.
