Download or read book Distribution Planning and Control written by David Frederick Ross and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition provides operations management students, academics and professionals with a fully up-to-date, practical and comprehensive sourcebook in the science of distribution and Supply Chain Management (SCM). Its objective is not only to discover the roots and detail the techniques of supply and delivery channel networks, but also to explore the impact of the merger of SCM concepts and information technologies on all aspects of internal business and supply channel management. This textbook provides a thorough and sometimes analytical view of the topic, while remaining approachable from the standpoint of the reader. Although the text is broad enough to encompass all the management activities found in today's logistics and distribution channel organizations, it is detailed enough to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of essential strategic and tactical planning and control processes, as well as problem-solving techniques that can be applied to everyday operations. Distribution Planning and Control: Managing in the Era of Supply Chain Management, 3rd Ed. is comprised of fifteen chapters, divided into five units. Unit 1 of the text, The SCM and Distribution Management Environment, sets the background necessary to understand today’s supply chain environment. Unit 2, SCM Strategies, Channel Structures and Demand Management, reviews the activities involved in performing strategic planning, designing channel networks, forecasting and managing channel demand. Unit 3, Inventory Management in the Supply Chain Environment, provides an in-depth review of managing supply chain inventories, statistical inventory management, and inventory management in a multiechelon channel environment. Unit 4, Supply Chain Execution, traces the translation of the strategic supply chain plans into detailed customer and supplier management, warehousing and transportation operations activities. Finally Unit 5, International Distribution and Supply Chain Technologies, concludes the text by exploring the role of two integral elements of SCM: international distribution management and the deployment of information technologies in the supply chain environment. Each chapter includes summary questions and problems to challenge readers to their knowledge of concepts and topics covered. Additionally supplementary materials for instructors are also available as tools for learning reinforcement.
Download or read book The Process of Military Distribution Management written by James H. Henderson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide for Logistician's (military or civilian) in the execution of Movement Control and Distribution Management. - Provides examples of procedures and guidance utilized by our armed forces operating in Iraq to date, as well as being reviewed as emerging doctrine for the future. - Presents information for staff management that incorporates manual and automated procedures to monitor and track movement and commodities on today's modern battlefields. - Provides a process to utilize data from different automation systems, which do not talk to one another, as well as incorporates manual procedures to develop a system to monitor and track movement and commodities on today's modern battlefields. By doing this, we have provided the commander with a focused staff battle rhythm that works. Due to the Army Transformation and Spiral Development, there is a lack of documentation on just how to interpret and implement the new concepts and automation applications, and synchronize their usage and development. Many of the ideas and process in this book have not advanced beyond the conjectural level. The work covered is an initial effort to make operational these new ideas and procedures and provide them as training in a classroom and wartime environment. The uniqueness of the logistical mission and the technology of these services, this book may be guided towards a rather select audience. But due to the tactics and methods being used by our enemies in the field, it is important to understand that at all levels, the ability to have visibility and command and control of movement within our battle space is essential.

Download or read book Force Protection for Distribution Based Logistics in Asymmetric Warfare written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: United States military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan demonstrate that adversaries are likely to persist in seeking advantage through asymmetric warfare. Within this context, emerging doctrine on Network Centric Warfare (NCW) and Effects Based Operations (EBO) must realistically apply to the U.S. Army, and more specifically, to Combat Service Support (CSS) leaders on the battlefield. In light of emerging doctrine, this monograph proposes necessary adaptations to force protection for Distribution-Based Logistics (DBL) under conditions of asymmetric warfare. Building on experience from Vietnam and contemporary operations in Iraq, this study examines the anticipated impact of the Joint Operational Environment (JOE) on CSS operations, including the key issue of tactical distribution. Among its conclusions, this study argues that the Army must insure that CSS leaders in the field have the ability to gain the required situational awareness to support and sustain the tactical commander's force momentum. In addition, the author argues that a transforming Army must balance efficiency and effectiveness to assure CSS units the necessary resources for mission accomplishment on the future asymmetric battlefield.
Download or read book Design of Tactical Support Strategies in Military Logistics written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military tactical logistics planning is concerned with the problem of distributing heterogeneous commodities (e.g., fuel, food, ammunition, etc.) from main operating bases to forward operating bases in a theatre of operations using a combination of heterogeneous transportation assets such as logistics trucks and tactical helicopters. Minimizing the sustainment cost while satisfying the operational demand under time and security constraints is of high importance for the Canadian Forces. In this study, a logistics planning model is developed to explore effective and efficient strategies for tactical logistics distribution. A mathematical optimization algorithm based on a column and cut generation technique, using Gomory-Chvátal rank-1 cuts, is developed to solve the problem. This report presents details of a mathematical formulation and a solution algorithm along with an example application to demonstrate the methodology. Computational results are presented in order to measure the degree of efficiency and scalability of the proposed approach, and to study the trade-off between the efficiency and effectiveness in the resulting sustainment strategies.

Download or read book Logistics Maneuver Made Easy written by James H. Henderson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-05-12 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines some logistical maneuvers and their doctrinal relationship to the operation, and provides some new ideas. The lessons are formatted in a fashion that offers the reader the doctrinal concept that the operation or function is based on, and then presents new theories on how to better execute the logistical function or capability as it relates to tactical operations. Even though combat maneuver may be more exciting to discuss, logistical maneuver is just as effective in its results to maintain combat power. And isnt that the real key to successfully sustaining any decisive action operationsto maintain combat power across the battlefield? And the only way to achieve this effect is to understand the different ways to execute logistical maneuver to support the mission. As I have pointed out on more than one occasion, you cannot have one without the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph describes the evolution of military logistics from 1994 to 2011 within the framework of the tenants of the Focused Logistics concept, assesses the effectiveness of the efforts to transform military logistics from a mass-based into a distribution-based logistics system, describes the implementation of enabling capabilities in support of operation in Afghanistan and Iraq, and finally, delineates the action necessary for the United States (US) military to implement a truly Agile Logistics system. Efforts to revolutionize the military logistics system will be viewed through the lens of Focused Logistics, the overarching Joint concept introduced in the mid-1990s in response to challenges identified as a result of logistics operations during the 1st The US military has succeeded in creating a robust distribution network that optimizes the tenets of Focused Logistics by leveraging the proven business processes and technologies available within the commercial sector. The military's logistics processes have evolved to meet the challenges presented by operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, however, operational and tactical logistic organizations lack key enabling capabilities, to include an integrated logistics information system, to maximize the capacity of the distribution system. The military has made progress towards creating an Agile Logistics system, but leaders acknowledge that to create an integrated and seamless logistics system, they must complete the development and implementation of the Global Command Support System, effectively maintain visibility of assets in the distribution pipeline, and provide logisticians the tools to effectively participate in operational planning. Finally, logisticians must develop and communicate a more consistent strategic message that effectively articulates why Agile Logistics is important and how the system must evolve to support future operational environments. Gulf War. Military leaders described this period as a Revolution in Military Logistics as they fundamentally changed supply policies, implemented emerging business processes, integrated advanced technologies, and validated enabling capabilities in support of expeditionary operations across the globe.

Download or read book Distribution written by David Frederick Ross and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-11-30 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said that every generation of historians seeks to rewrite what a previous generation had established as the standard interpretations of the motives and circumstances shaping the fabric of historical events. It is not that the facts of history have changed. No one will dispute that the battle of Waterloo occurred on June 11, 1815 or that the allied invasion of Europe began on June 6, 1944. What each new age of historians are attempting to do is to reinterpret the motives of men and the force of circumstance impacting the direction of past events based on the factual, social, intellectual, and cultural milieu of their own generation. By examining the facts of history from a new perspective, today's historians hope to reveal some new truth that will not only illuminate the course of history but also validate contempo rary values and societal ideals. Although it is true that tackling the task of developing a new text on logistics and distribution channel management focuses less on schools of philosophical and social analysis and more on the calculus of managing sales campaigns, inventory replenishment, and income statements, the goal of the management scientist, like the historian, is to merge the facts and figures of the discipline with today's organizational, cultural, and economic realities. Hopefully, the result will be a new synthesis, where a whole new perspective will break forth, exposing new directions and opportunities.
