Book excerpt: In this ever-evolving world, the essence of logistics management continues to transform, driven by a myriad of factors such as technological advancements, globalization, and changing consumer demands. As we traverse the 21st century and beyond, the logistics landscape is rapidly morphing into a complex network of interconnected systems that require astute management for optimal efficiency and effectiveness. This book, "Logistics Management in the 21st Century and Beyond," aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the current trends, challenges, and future potentials of logistics management. In the 21st century, logistics management has stepped out of the shadow of being merely a support function. Today, it is recognized as a strategic business function that directly impacts a company's bottom line and its competitive positioning. The era marked by the rise of e-commerce giants, real-time tracking, and just-in-time delivery systems has set new parameters for logistics management, pushing its boundaries beyond traditional norms. However, the advent of these developments also ushers in various challenges. Environmental concerns, demand for same-day or even same-hour delivery, a shifting supply chain due to global politics, and the need for data-driven decision-making are just a few of the hurdles that logistics managers face in the current century. This book delves into these issues, offering insights into managing logistics in this complex era and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively. Moreover, this book also paves the way to the future, exploring the potential impacts of emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and autonomous vehicles on logistics management. It also discusses the importance of sustainability and resilience in logistics, as climate change and global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic have demonstrated the need for logistics systems that can withstand shocks and adapt to new circumstances. "Logistics Management in the 21st Century and Beyond" is a guide to the current state of logistics management and a roadmap to its future. It is intended for logistics professionals, business managers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamic field of logistics management. It provides a wealth of knowledge and practical insights, highlighting the importance of logistics in our interconnected, fast-paced, and ever-changing world. Embark on this journey to unravel the complexities of logistics management in the 21st century and look beyond to foresee its future. Our exploration will lead you to the understanding that logistics, in essence, is the lifeline of the modern global economy, and its efficient and effective management is the key to thriving in this competitive era.

Download or read book The Digitalization of the 21st Century Supply Chain written by Stuart M. Rosenberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to gain a clear picture of the current status and future challenges with regard to the digitalization of the supply chain – from the perspective of the suppliers, the manufacturers, and the customers. They were the target groups of the book. Digitization has touched upon all aspects of businesses, including supply chains. Technologies such as RFID, GPS, and sensors have enabled organizations to transform their existing hybrid (combination of paper-based and IT-supported processes) supply chain structures into more f lexible, open, agile, and collaborative digital models. Unlike hybrid supply chain models, which have resulted in rigid organizational structures, unobtainable data, and disjointed relationships with partners, digital supply chains enable business process automation, organizational flexibility, and digital management of corporate assets. In order to reap maximum benefits from digital supply chain models, it is important that companies internalize it as an integral part of the overall business model and organizational structure. Localized disconnected projects and silo-based operations pose a serious threat to competitiveness in an increasingly digital world. The technologies discussed in this text – artificial intelligence, 3D printing, Internet of things, etc. – are beginning to come together to help digitize, automate, integrate, and improve the global supply chains. It’s certainly an exciting and challenging time for both new supply chain professionals and long-time supply chain professionals.

The authors uses examples from non-US companies and/or organizations in each chapter to incorporate Service Operations in the book. They also show that even some of the largest manufacturing companies today have extensive service activities such as customer support and product development. The Global Supply Chain theme will allow students to see how products move through different companies and countries with Boyer/Verma’s use of real world examples throughout his text. In addition the robust Cnow course allows instructors and students to go beyond the printed text to get the most from this exciting operations management program.

Book excerpt: About the Book Web Page This book provides a primer for the logistics novice and a reference for the experienced practitioner. It looks at a 21st century world view of the logistics field, both from a commercial and a military perspective. It addresses the management of resources for man-made systems and operations, with the aim "to promote the general welfare", and "provide for the common defense". A prologue introduces concepts of logistics that are lost in time, beginning with the dawn of civilization, that have shaped the logistics of today. The "Logistics Technology and Acquisition" Section summarizes the history of logistics from earliest beginnings to the late 20th century, as described by many authors. A new logistics paradigm having three determining factors - "systems", "operations", and "resources" is given for the 21st century by this author to simplify the convoluted aspects of the many processes of the logistics field. Each of these factors is described in some detail. An evolutionary life cycle ("creation to obsolescence") of a complex system is modeled, having three tracks; (1) a systems evolution track, (2) a logistics evolution track, and (3) a "supply chain" track, interrelated with one another, specified in phases as a step-by-step series of processes. Logistics contributions to system design and development emphasizes, defines, and analyzes the functions of "supportability" as a primary attribute of design. Techniques of systems and operations analysis is introduced leading to a detailed discussion of logistics analysis as the determinant of operations and support resources. Logistics analysis information, together with management and engineering information, provides a single information source for the subsequent design of the "logistics system" (i.e. the products of subsequent logistics support). This becomes a common traceable source for trade-offs and decision-making for further acquisition of the needed resources. A discussion of the relationships of logistics (supportability) and economics provides a basis for understanding of the concept of system/product life-cycle-cost. Included in this treatise are the relationships of logistics cost and value over the life cycle of a system or product. Design of a "support system" is described from the perspective of resource information with a short description of needed resources (i.e. material, information, supply, facility), An overall picture is presented for a "logistics system" design in terms of required resources. The "Logistics Operations" Section describes the three primary functions of logistics operations as" maintenance", "supply", and "training". Each of these is correlated to the systems/logistics life cycle phases as evolutionary processes. Maintenance is described in terms of levels, actions, and resources. The scope of Supply, considered by some as the most significant aspect of logistics, is defined from various sources, and in terms of the system life cycle. Processes of supply, and "the supply chain", introduces the authors viewpoint of "logistics of the enterprise", and "enterprise resource management". The subject of Training comprises the final chapter, again in terms of the system/logistics life cycle. Training as a system is considered, involving design and development, operations and evaluation. Training operations and methods complete this discussion. This book of logistics essentials concludes with an epilog describing some ideas of the future of logistics in the 21st century. It refers to both commercial, global concerns as well as military/defense concerns. We will have to wait to see the actual processes that will evolve, based on the advances of technology.
