Integrated Logistics

物流旨在改善和优化生产，库存控制以及产品和信息从原产地到目的地的流动。它包括几个相互关联和综合的活动，如预测，生产，库存控制，运输和仓储。CRC在综合物流方面的科学计划集中在创新方法的开发和新的复杂综合物流问题的解决上。该研究计划质疑一些已建立的研究范式，并通过开发新的数学模型和解决方案算法，为现有零散研究主题的组合所产生的不同问题提出新的研究路线。

Logistics aims at improving and optimizing production, inventory control, and the flows of products and information from origins to destinations. It encompasses several interconnected and integrated activities such as forecasting, production, inventory control, transportation and warehousing. The scientific program of the CRC in Integrated Logistics is centred on the development of innovative methodologies and on the resolution of new and complex integrated logistics problems. This research program questions some established research paradigms and proposes new lines of research through the development of new mathematical models and solution algorithms for different problems arising as combinations of existing fragmented research topics.
