Final thoughts on logistics analytics and decision support
As we head into the ever-more globalized world of the 2020s, the critical role that logistics planning and operations plays in ensuring a firm's financial well-being escalates in importance almost daily. Furthermore,the role of analytics in guiding both logistics planning and operationalactivities has spiked dramatically in the last decade, and this exponential growth shows no sign of slackening. As the phenomenon of Big Data has taken hold in the private sector, firms that as recently as 10 years ago devoted minimal resources to large-scale data mining and analytics have reversed course and invested heavily in data analytics. In this environment, logistics professionals must have at their disposal, and must understand how to utilize, a broad array of analytic techniques and approaches to logistics decision making. Effective use of analytics requires a strong understanding of both fundamental and advanced logistics decision-making techniques and methodologies.
Further, logistics professionals must organize and view these analytics-based decision support tools through well-structured planning frameworks. In this book, based on more than 25 years of logistics industry practice, we illustrate and explain a wide range of practical logistics strategies and analytic techniques to facilitate decision making across functions such as manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and inventory management. Further, we also describe how to organize these analytics-based tools and strategies through logistics frameworks that span strategic, tactical, and operational planning and scheduling decisions.This book is intended for logistics professionals to use as a reference document that offers ideas and guidance for addressing specific logistics management decisions and challenges.
