BPR AND LOGISTICS : THE ROLE OF COMPUTATIONAL MODELS Leon
نویسنده
چکیده
In manufacturing and distribution, a core process is logistics, and the cost of logistics is roughly 10% of GDP in the US. Designing, managing, and improving industrial logistics systems has never been more challenging, or more critical to competitive success. Fortunately, rapid advance in computational technology promises to provide industrial logistics system designers the kinds of design tools taken for granted by product designers. This paper identifies some opportunities and challenges, and highlights some recent successes in achieving the vision of powerful, integrated, computational platforms for industrial logistics system design.
