Introduction

The smooth efficient operation of transport andlogistics is essential for business success in the globaleconomy of the twenty-rst century. Inmanufacturing and retailing, for example, it is well-known that businesses compete on the basis of theirsupply chains, the term used to describe the way inwhich goods and services are moved from where theyare produced to where they are sold. If clothing,shoes, pharmaceuticals and so on are not readilyavailable for retail sale, then sales and protability areadversely affected. For consumers, there is nothingmore frustrating than if a jacket or pair of shoes is notavailable in the size or colour required.

This iswhere logisticscomes in. At a simple level, it isallabout‘gettingit right’ – inotherwords getting theright goods, totherightplace,at theright timeand,signicantly,at theright cost.Thiscannotcomeaboutwithouttechnologyandmanagerswhoknowwhatthis means andhowtheycan makeithappen.
