Course Overview

Course Synopsis
|
Both the academic and the business world now accept that there is a need to adopt a more holistic view of these different operations in order to take into account how they interrelate and interact with one another. The appreciation of the scope and importance of distribution and logistics has led to a more scientific approach being adopted towards the subject. This approach has been aimed at the overall concept of the logistics function as a whole and also at the individual sub-systems. Much of this approach has addressed the need for, and means of, planning distribution and logistics, but has also considered some of the major operational issues.
