Book Synopsis Efficiency and Logistics by : Uwe Clausen
Download or read book Efficiency and Logistics written by Uwe Clausen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The „EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr“ was a winner in the Leading Edge Science Cluster competition run by the German federal Ministry of Education and Research. The mission and aim of the „EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr“ is to facilitate tomorrow’s individuality – in the sense of individual goods supply, mobility, and production – using 75 percent of today’s resources. Efficiency – both in economical and ecological terms – is enabled by state-of-the-art and innovative logistical solutions including transportation, production and intralogistics. These proceedings “Efficiency and Logistics” give first answers from 27 research projects as an insight into the current state of research of Europe’s leading research and development cluster in logistics and as a contribution to the discussion on how logistics as a science can help to cope with foreseeable resource shortage and sustainability as global challenges.

Book Synopsis Outsourcing - a way to increase efficiency? The logistics context by : Vadims Kolmogorovs
Download or read book Outsourcing - a way to increase efficiency? The logistics context written by Vadims Kolmogorovs and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2006-10-28 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 2, University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück, language: English, abstract: Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a management concept aimed at organising and optimising the complete value chain from sourcing raw materials to the final customer regardless of organisational boundaries. In recent years, the strategy of concentrating on core competencies of companies led to a vertical disintegration of processes along the value chain. Practical experience shows that companies focusing on their core competencies in first turn outsource logistics operations within their supply chain management to external service providers. Outsourcing is defined as “the practice of buying goods and services from outside suppliers, rather than producing them within a firm.” Harvard Business Review(HBR), the popular management journal recently listed outsourcing as one of the most influential concepts coined in the last 75 years. A fundamental question to ask in this work is whether outsourcing is really value enhancing and, in particular, whether the firm that undertakes outsourcing becomes more efficient as a result. In the context of this work the degree of efficiency will be addressed by analysing the input side as labour costs and capital for initial investments. It will be shown that in an attempt to increase efficiency by reducing expenses and turning fixed costs into variable costs, companies pursue restructuring procedures that include outsourcing of non-core activities to specialists having a lower cost base due to better economies of scale and scope. In addition, efficiency may also be improved because adjusting output to variations in demand and maintaining the quality of inputs may be easier via enforcing contracts with outside suppliers than in dealing with a strongly unionized internal workforce.

Book Synopsis Efficiency and Innovation in Logistics by : Uwe Clausen
Download or read book Efficiency and Innovation in Logistics written by Uwe Clausen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of logistics in all its variations is still increasing. New technologies emerge, new planning methods and algorithms are developed, only to face a market with a growing complexity and the need of weighting monetary costs against ecological impact. Mastering these challenges requires a scientific viewpoint on logistics, but always with applications in mind. This volume presents up-to-date logistics research in all its diversity and interconnectedness. It grew out of the “International Logistics Science Conference” (ILSC) held in Dortmund in September 2013, bringing together leading scientists and young academics from nine different countries. The conference was jointly organized by the “Efficiency Cluster Logistics” and the “Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics”. The Program Committee used a double blind review process to choose the 12 strongest contributions, which were then grouped in four areas: - Sustainability logistics, including electric mobility, smart information, communication technologies and corporate social responsibility management - Intralogistics, including the detection of autonomous vehicles, 3D computer vision and sensor functions for forklift trucks - Transport logistics, including distribution centre organization, delivery performance in railway systems and logistics reference modelling - Logistics facilities, including environmental impact of container ports, parcel sorting systems and model based systems engineering.
Book Synopsis Logistics Clusters by : Yossi Sheffi
Download or read book Logistics Clusters written by Yossi Sheffi and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How logistics clusters can create jobs while providing companies with competitive advantage. Why is Memphis home to hundreds of motor carrier terminals and distribution centers? Why does the tiny island-nation of Singapore handle a fifth of the world's maritime containers and half the world's annual supply of crude oil? Which jobs can replace lost manufacturing jobs in advanced economies? Some of the answers to these questions are rooted in the phenomenon of logistics clusters—geographically concentrated sets of logistics-related business activities. In this book, supply chain management expert Yossi Sheffi explains why Memphis, Singapore, Chicago, Rotterdam, Los Angeles, and scores of other locations have been successful in developing such clusters while others have not. Sheffi outlines the characteristic “positive feedback loop” of logistics clusters development and what differentiates them from other industrial clusters; how logistics clusters “add value” by generating other industrial activities; why firms should locate their distribution and value-added activities in logistics clusters; and the proper role of government support, in the form of investment, regulation, and trade policy. Sheffi also argues for the most important advantage offered by logistics clusters in today's recession-plagued economy: jobs, many of them open to low-skilled workers, that are concentrated locally and not “offshorable.” These logistics clusters offer what is rare in today's economy: authentic success stories. For this reason, numerous regional and central governments as well as scores of real estate developers are investing in the development of such clusters.

This book was released on 2008-07-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the basis of an analysis conducted in a freight forwarding company, Marta Anna Krajewska identifies two levels of improving logistics performance. First, she demonstrates that on the local level the automated operational transportation planning increases the planning quality and influences mid- and long-term planning issues. Secondly, the results show that on the global level the proposed horizontal collaboration concept among the independent planning units can bring substantial gains.
