Logistics Engineering in System Building and Management

Document Type : Scientific Paper

Abstract

Logistics, which should have the most flexibility in supporting the needs of consumers and those who are supported, should also have additional flexibility in the face of environmental changes. To create flexibility in logistics missions, structures and operations, logistics engineers must also be proficient in a variety of advanced tools. What makes success in logistics systems today is not just the use of classical logistics engineering tools and methods, but a wide range of modern human knowledge from advanced mathematics to fuzzy systems, artificial intelligence and neural networks and information systems. . This article tries to examine the new perspectives by reviewing the classical concepts of logistics engineering.
