Cross-industry interest group on complexity in logistics and transport management |
| |
Transport and logistics systems are strongly connected and complex adaptive systems of many individuals, firms, and authorities acting in parallel, constantly acting and reacting to what the other parties are doing. Coherent behaviour in the system arises from competition and cooperation among the different actors.
There are many areas and situations in transport and logistics where it is possible to understand the links between cause and effect and to produce prescriptive and predictive models as well as good management tools. On the other hand there is a growing awareness that many of our transport systems
and logistics are becoming more and more coupled and complex systems and that a new approach is needed to cope with this complexity.
Recent developments in this area are overarching concepts such as Distributed Adaptive Logistics (also called Sense and Respond Logistics) and system of systems.
You are invited to attend the first European industry interest group on complexity in logistics and transport management which will be held in Brussels on Tuesday 22th of June 2010 from 10:00 until 13:00 for all stakeholders and from 13:00 until 17:00 for founding fathers.
