"Professor Burns has captured the essence of transportation security, one of today's most pressing concerns. As the rate of globalization and world trade increases, security and supply chain resilience are at the core of one's global transportation network. This is a timely and well written contribution to the industry." --John A. Moseley, Senior Director of Trade Development, Port of Houston Authority
..".a clear and concise book detailing the issues of security in today's post-9/11 era. An invaluable read for those working within the transport and security industries." --Steven Neuendorff, Head of Americas, HANSA HEAVY LIFT Americas, Inc.
Examining sea, land, and air transportation systems and linkages, Logistics and Transportation Security: A Strategic, Tactical, and Operational Guide to Resilience provides thorough coverage of transportation security. Its topics include hazardous material handling, securing transportation networks, logistics essentials, supply chain security, risk assessment, the regulatory framework, strategic planning, and innovation through technology.
This book is not a prescriptive how-to manual. It begins with a discussion of the differences between safety and security before advancing through a developmental learning curve encompassing a wide range of subjects. It discusses global threats such as terrorism and piracy as well as current regulatory mandates and technological applications, including the latest threat to logistics security, cyber-attack.
The book also examines the benefits of synergy between the public and private sectors, using a number of case studies and interviews to illustrate increasing collaboration and benefits. Itassists a broad range of transportation professionals, security professionals, logistics outfits, and policy makers with assessing the benefits of proactive security measures and with verifying security-associated risks and consequences.

Описание: Helps student understand the `game rules` goals and objectives when designing, planning and controlling efficient and effective logistics systems in supply chains. This book covers information technology, and the impact of manufacturing and product structures on logistics and supply chain systems, and the environment.
Описание: This book deals with complex problems in the fields of logistics and supply chain management and discusses advanced methods, especially from the field of computational intelligence (CI), for solving them.
The first two chapters provide general introductions to logistics and supply chain management on the one hand, and to computational intelligence on the other hand. The subsequent chapters cover specific fields in logistics and supply chain management, work out the most relevant problems found in those fields, and discuss approaches for solving them. Chapter 3 discusses problems in the field of production and inventory management. Chapter 4 considers planning activities on a finer level of granularity which is usually denoted as scheduling. In chapter 5 problems in transportation planning such as different types of vehicle routing problems are considered. While chapters 3 to 5 rather discuss planning problems which appear on an operative level, chapter 6 discusses the strategic problem of designing a supply chain or network. The final chapter provides an overview of academic and commercial software and information systems for the discussed applications.
There appears to be a gap between general textbooks on logistics and supply chain management and more specialized literature dealing with methods for computational intelligence, operations research, etc., for solving the complex operational problems in these fields. For readers, it is often difficult to proceed from introductory texts on logistics and supply chain management to the sophisticated literature which deals with the usage of advanced methods. This book fills this gap by providing state-of-the-art descriptions of the corresponding problems and suitable methods for solving them.
Описание: As logistics operations and supply chain management play a vital role in smooth, timely connections and business activities, continued advancements made in these processes are essential. <br><br><em>Technological Solutions for Modern Logistics and Supply Chain Management</em> highlights theories and technological growth in applied research as well as advances in logistics, supply chains, and industry experiences. Aiming to enhance the expansions made towards an efficient and sustainable economy, this book is essential for providing researchers, practitioners and academicians with insight into a wide range of topics.
