The logistics sector is subject to profound changes that are caused by techno-logical innovations as well as by structural changes in the implementation of logistics business processes. Therefore, it is important for companies to recognize such changes in an early stage and to prepare for them...

Electro mobility is considered to be a pioneering trend in the field of road traffic to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. Because of technical restrictions, which limit the range and loading capacity of vehicles, electro mobility is mostly discussed with regard to passenger cars....

The prototype ORFE of an Online Rail Freight Exchange was developed as part of the CODE24 project. It demonstrates functionalities for a more transparent communication of available transport services and also supports the configuration of multimodal supply chains. The paper describes the efforts...

Das Operational Competitiveness Rating (OCRA) wurde bereits zur Messung der Effizienzzahlreicher verschiedener sogenannter Produktionseinheiten – wie beispielsweise Bankfilialenoder Hotels – angewendet. Hierbei wird die Effizienz der Produktionseinheiten anhandder eingesetzten Inputmengen...
