The volume comprises the proceedings of the third International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics LDIC 2012. The scope of the conference targeted the identification, analysis, and description of the dynamics of logistic processes and networks. The spectrum ranged from the modeling and planning of processes and innovative methods like autonomous control and knowledge management to the new technologies provided by radio frequency identification, mobile communication, and networking. The growing dynamics in the area of logistics poses completely new challenges: Logistic processes and networks must rapidly and flexibly adapt to continuously changing conditions. LDIC 2012 provided a venue for r...
This book gathers papers presented at the Logistik-Management-Konferenz 2013, which was organized by the VHB Wissenschaftliche Kommission Logistik and held in Bremen, Germany. The papers reflect the current state-of-the-art in logistics and supply chain management, focusing on environmental sustainability in logistics and supply chain network dynamics and control. The target audience primarily consists of researchers and practitioners in the field, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
This thesis aims to add knowledge that contributes to answering the question of how digital transformation technologies can contribute to increasing customer value in logistics and supply chain management (L&SCM), and how manufacturing companies can mindfully use them. The output of the thesis is an architectural framework that proposes performance components, approaches and methodologies that can help in capturing this customer value. To build the basis for such a framework, this research first deduces and presents the underlying definition of digital transformation and describes its potential for, as well as current barriers for its application in, L&SCM. The study uses a systematic litera...

The scale of road freight transport for own account, the impact of regulatory changes and the future of the sector are the themes addressed in the introductory reports and the experts’ discussions outlined in this publication.
In The Logistic Revolution, Richard Vahrenkamp discusses the political and economic factors which have led to the rise of logistics in Europe in the context of the mass consumption society. Not only does he show the ascent of truck transport in the 1920s to satisfy consumer needs and the importance of the European motorway infrastructure for the development of modern logistics, he also sheds light on the dimension that freight transport has acquired in Europe and on the organizations that have been created in Europe to enable and facilitate cross border goods transports. Other than in the US, the national transport markets in Europe were initially uncoordinated. It was only in the process of European unification that transport markets for truck freight and associated logistics systems became Europe wide. This change was accompanied by the struggle between rail and truck.
This book describes the control loop-oriented change management process for implementing a digital business model via the holistic Organization 4.0 MITO configuration management. The content chapter structure of this MITO book with the description of the different transformation design views is based on the higher-level operational control loop principle within the MITO model segments shown in Figure 1. Whereby the management segment (M) is still subdivided on the default side into the process-related management segment and on the feedback side into the fact-related management segment. The MITO business model based on this supplements the 5 model segments with the downstream customer and ups...
Die Offenlegung von sensiblen, betriebsinternen Kosteninformationen in zwischenbetrieblichen Kooperationen birgt ein typisches Controlling-Problem, auch wenn in einem untypischen Anwendungsfall, in sich. Mariya Antoniou präsentiert eine bislang fehlende systematische Übertragung und Anpassung des Controlling-Instrumentariums auf eine zwischenbetriebliche Problematik. Aufgrund der gewonnenen fundierten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse zu dieser „Grauzone“ des Rechnungswesens leitet die Autorin konkrete Ausgestaltungsempfehlungen ab.
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die Logistikbranche steht vor einem entscheidenden Wandel. Dieser wird einerseits durch starke Veränderungen im politisch-gesellschaftlichen sowie im wirtschaftlichen Umfeld hervorgerufen. Zugleich haben sich die technologischen Rahmenbedingungen durch die dynamische Entwicklung der Internettechnologie und den daraus entstehenden Möglichkeiten durch E-Commerce essentiell verändert. Andererseits werden durch die Reduzierung der Wertschöpfungstiefe wesentliche Umstrukturierungen in den Unternehmen hervorgerufen. Als Konsequenz dieser veränderten externen und internen Rahmenbedingungen sehen sich Logistikdienstleister mit zunehmendem Kostendruck und steigenden Kun...
