This monograph, viewing logistics systems from an integrated standpoint, aims to describe, and also to demonstrate how to find, rational structures for logistics systems, including their operation and organization. The work departs from traditional operations research procedures in that it avoids detailed descriptions of problems or theiH solutions. For a typical problem, for example, the book demonstrates how to achieve reasonable solutions (described in terms of their properties) based on minimum information and avoiding detailed data handling and complex numerical analyses. The book also makes the point that detailed solutions can often be improved if preceded by the kind of exploratory analysis described here. This monograph on operations research and transportation is intended for researchers.
