The aim of this paper is presenting a research initiative aimed at empowering the SMEs that lead production and distribution processes in their ability to design, plan and operate efficient interlinked logistic networks. The intention is to study, implement and experiment models and services that can enable manufacturing companies and logistic operators to easily build or participate in logistic networks, with special attention to SMEs. Such logistic networks include procurement, transportation, production and distribution processes, from the supplier of raw materials to the end customer. Companies in supply chains have to perform operational, tactical and strategic planning tasks. Depending on the nature of the task and the form of network organization, these tasks are handled locally or globally. There has been little research so far on the organization of logistic network design, planning, operation and control.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is presenting a research initiative aimed at empowering the SMEs that lead production and distribution processes in their ability to design, plan and operate efficient interlinked logistic networks. The intention is to study, implement and experiment models and services that can enable manufacturing companies and logistic operators to easily build or participate in logistic networks, with special attention to SMEs. Such logistic networks include procurement, transportation, production and distribution processes, from the supplier of raw materials to the end customer. Companies in supply chains have to perform operational, tactical and strategic planning tasks. Depending on the nature of the task and the form of network organization, these tasks are handled locally or globally. There has been little research so far on the organization of logistic network design, planning, operation and control.
