==========================================================
The function of supply chain management is to design and manage the
processes, assets, and flows of material and information required to
satisfy customers' demands. Globalization of economy and electronic
commerce has heightened the strategic importance of supply chain
management and created new opportunities for using supply chain strategy
and planning as a competitive tool. E-logistics has not only created new
distribution channels for consumers but also revolutionized the industrial
marketplace by facilitating inter-firm communication and by creating
efficient markets through trading communities.
Moreover combination of enterprise information infrastructure and the
Internet has paved the way for a variety of supply chain and logistics
optimization technologies.
This special issue deals with the strategic, planning, and operational
roles of the supply chains and logistics. It has the aim of being a
valuable collection of original contributions proposing novel mathematical
models and solution methods to solve challenging logistics problems.
Works devoted to solve real-life logistics problems are particularly welcome.
