Preface
Over the last decades, logistics and supply chain management (SCM) have become one of the most often and intensively discussed fields in management and economics. Although many ideas and concepts used in logistics and SCM are reasonably old, much effort has been undertaken to transfer them into practice and to improve them further. Many publications, in academia as well as in application-oriented literature, have appeared. Logistics and SCM have become fields which are rich in terms of innovation and progress. Despite these promising developments, there are still obstacles to bring advanced visions of improved planning and cooperation along logistics
