Industrial logistics systems: theory and applications
Industrial logistics plays a major role in providing a competitive advantage for companies in a networked economy and market. Industrial logistics systems consist of resources such as people, organisation and technology, including information technology/systems for managing the inbound logistics, and production and outbound logistics to create value for customers. Industrial logistics systems have become an important part of competitive manufacturing and service organisations. When manufacturing/service activities are decentralised and geographically dispersed, the role of logistics becomes much more important in reducing the time to reach the market by effectively managing the information and material flow along the supply chain. Industrial logistics systems have not received adequate attention from researchers as has other aspects of manufacturing/services such as production and purchasing. This Special Issue is published due to the importance of industrial logistics systems in the organisational competitiveness of the 21st century.
