It has been estimated that logistics costs account for 30% of the cost of doing business. Effective logistics management can lower costs, provide better service and quality, which translate into strategic competitive advantage and profitability for the company. This course provides an introduction to Logistics Management. Topics covered include the strategic importance of logistics management, logistics network design, location and layout planning, transportation, distribution management and warehousing, third-party logistics, green logistics, service operations management and other trends and developments. Through this course, we hope that the student will develop an appreciation of the practical significance and complexities of logistics management, gain an understanding of the key processes involved, and master some analytical tools useful in the designing, operating and improving of a logistics system.

In this paper, a mixed integer linear model is developed for a carbon footprint based reverse logistics network design. The proposed model aims at minimizing climate change (specifically, the CO2 footprint), and it employs reverse logistics activities to recover used products, hence combining the location/transportation decision problem. The proposed model is validated by examining a case study from the plastic sector. © 2012...
