DOWNLOAD EBOOKCurrently the notion of "sustainability" is used in an inflationary manner. Therefore the authors start with a definition which is stable to serve as an anchor for further research as well as for discussions among scientists, managers and politicians, ideally across different disciplines. The character of this book is purely conceptual. The argumentation is based on comparison of new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics). Formerly neglected impacts on the environment will be included. Main features of a new approach will be developed which are capable to avoid these impacts and to align logistics with the requirements of sustainability. In order to make logistics sustainable large parts will have to be reinvented. The focus needs to be on decoupling transportation activities from economic growth rates.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the 1990’s, researchers, practitioners and public administrations have given more thought to urban logistics. However, their interests and goals are not the same, and several approaches do not produce efficient logistics systems as a result. This book aims to provide both a conceptual framework for urban logistics planning and management and to create a basis for deploying solutions that aim to reduce the main nuisances related to urban goods. The proposed book is divided in two parts. The first proposes a set of methodological chapters, written by key authors, which aim to support decision makers in their current choices related to urban logistics. In addition to public authorities’ aims and goals, the book highlights the importance of private actors, and shows how supply chain management can deal with the problems of the last urban mile and its integration in global logistics chains. The second presents several applied research works that deal with current planning and practice issues in urban logistics, such as the role of city planning, the place of night deliveries in carrier organization, the limits of logistics pooling, and the real estate market, among others. The book was written by key authors, all having considerable research experience and recognised as experts in their respective fields. Each chapter presents methods and results of research works, written for a broad audience, and more precisely directed to both academics and practitioners.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe world is hyperlinked, globalized, commercial, and innovative, yet it has never reached the pinnacle of progress and interconnection that mankind is capable of. The role of an efficient logistics system in realizing goals of sustainable development has never been more vital. Streamlined logistics can reduce carbon emissions, optimize resource use, and ensure that goods and services are delivered in a manner that supports both economic growth and environmental preservation. By enhancing supply chain efficiency and integrating green technologies, we can achieve a more sustainable and interconnected future, where progress does not come at the expense of the planet. Effective Logistics for Sustainable Development Goals educates, empowers, and inspires stakeholders to leverage effective logistics practices in pursuit of sustainable development goals (SDGs). By providing comprehensive insights, practical guidance, and showcasing success stories, this book illuminates the intricate relationship between logistics and economic advances and social and environmental sustainability. Through promoting an integrated approach to logistics management and fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders, the book serves as a catalyst for positive change, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to drive meaningful progress towards a more equitable, resilient, and prosperous future for all. Covering topics such as supply chain management, responsible consumption and production, and electronic logistics, this book is a valuable resource for supply chain professionals, business leaders and entrepreneurs, government officials and policy makers, academicians and researchers, and more.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe „EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr“ was a winner in the Leading Edge Science Cluster competition run by the German federal Ministry of Education and Research. The mission and aim of the „EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr“ is to facilitate tomorrow’s individuality – in the sense of individual goods supply, mobility, and production – using 75 percent of today’s resources. Efficiency – both in economical and ecological terms – is enabled by state-of-the-art and innovative logistical solutions including transportation, production and intralogistics. These proceedings “Efficiency and Logistics” give first answers from 27 research projects as an insight into the current state of research of Europe’s leading research and development cluster in logistics and as a contribution to the discussion on how logistics as a science can help to cope with foreseeable resource shortage and sustainability as global challenges.
