Special Issue on "Operations Research in Freight Transportation and Logistics "
Transportation and logistics have a growing importance in a global economy. As parts and products travel longer distances over more modes of transport, supply chains become more fragile, complex, and costly to manage. As transportation and logistics costs rise in importance, inventory, handling, lot size, and mode choice decisions have a larger effect on corporate profitability. From a public welfare perspective, secure and sustainable world freight transport system concerns must be balanced with efficient transportation and logistics networks. Access the Call for Papers to learn more. The submission deadline is November 15, 2012.
