A Review and Evaluation of Logistics Performance Measurement Systems

Logistics encompasses a complex set of activities which require a collection of metrics to adequately measure performance. Ideally, the performance metrics used should be selected and maintained as a system, so they complement and support each other and provide the decision makers with a well balanced picture of the logistics process. Often in practice, however, performance measurement systems …

Seaport resilience to climate change: mapping vulnerability to sea-level rise

This paper examines the likely impact of extreme weather events and rising sea levels on key port logistics operations and infrastructure.

Key operational assets were first identified and geo-referenced on a high-resolution digital terrain model. In addition, perceptions of threat of …

Logistics & supply chain management

When the first edition of this book was published in 1992, supply chain management as an idea was still in its infancy and relatively few companies had made it a priority. The same was true for logistics management, although its precursor, distribution management, was increasingly being recognised as important both in terms of cost and for its potential impact on sales. In the intervening yea…
