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.

Book excerpt: The present volume aims to present the differing characteristics, tasks, methods and techniques of planning & control in company logistics as comprehensively as possible. Development and change in operational management for company performance should become transparent. However we will not be content with a wide-ranging, general treatment of the subject at the cost of depth and scientific elucidation of the matter at hand. due to the very fact that logistics and planning & control take place at the operational level of a company, competency in the details is absolutely necessary. Effective plans at the strategic level should not lead to contradictions and inconsistency at the operational level. This book explains these topics in a very simple way.
