Sustainable logistics concepts mainly focus on strategicdecision levels for example in supply chain design,warehouse location and standard transport mode selectiondecisions. This paper is addressing a more operativeapproach and analyzing green concepts for day-to-daylogistics decisions, commonly...

This paper presents results from an expert survey regarding logistics trends in accordance to a trendclassification system. A special focus is put on rail traffic as this transport mode is experiencing a“renaissance” in recent trend development and interesting new organisation systems such...

In logistics sustainability concepts such as CO2 footprint measurement, greenlogistics or empty transport reduction are developed and used in relative isolationfrom important future technology trends such as RFID, GPS or processautomation. This research contribution seeks for an integrated view...

Im Bereich des Schienengüterverkehrs spielt die betriebswirtschaftliche Zielsetzungder Leerfahrtenoptimierung im Sinne einer Reduktion von Leertonnenkilometern einebedeutende Rolle für die Effizienz des Verkehrsträgers. Potenziale zur weiteren Leerfahrtenoptimierunglassen sich insbesondere im...

Essential for rail transport performance is the specific transport optimization due to a high bandwidth of traction capacities per train. Transport optimization for rail transports and especially rail operator co-operations are an interesting modelling environment due to three specific...

Supply chain management concepts largely rely on cooperation. Therefore the economic success of companieswithin supply chain cooperations depends on the ability and capacity of these companies to build up and nourishcooperation relations. This capacity with its ‘social factor inputs’ as e.g....

Transport optimization for rail transports and especially rail operator co-operations are an inter-esting modeling environment due to three specific characteristics: First a simple minimum optimi-zation direction of e.g. transport distances may not be feasible due to connecting transport routes...
