Logistics systems analysis (Q1202125): Difference between revisions

This monograph presents an alternative approach to logistics systems analysis: detailed data are replaced by concise summaries and numerical methods are replaced by analytic models. With only few pieces of information the analytic models can be solved accurately and it becomes possible to identify near-optimal solutions in an easier way. These solutions are then used for the design of implementable solutions; i.e. solutions that satisfy all the detailed requirements ignored in the analysis.
