The Development of a Decision Making Framework for Logistics Management: I. The Systems Approach

Abstract

Consideration of logistics, or distribution, operations in their total corporate context usually involves too complex an analysis for use in everyday decision making. During a research programme recently carried out amongst pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, a set of rules was developed as an aid to decision making, which would simplify such an analysis. The details of this step forward in formalised decision making for logistics management are set out in a two‐part article, the first of which appears here.
