Course Description
This course is a study of the elements of a modern integrated logistics system. The
organizational structure, inventory management, principles of warehousing, traffic management,
international logistics, and quality management principles as they apply to logistics are key
elements. The impact of just-in-time systems and quality management principles on physical
distribution and their relationship with integrated package and cargo carriers, advancements in
intermodal transportation, and the deregulation of the transportation industry are probed. The
characteristics of system design to meet requirements of reliability, maintainability, and
supportability are examined, as is the economic feasibility of a logistics system, including Life-
Cycle Cost Analysis methods. The explosion of computer technology and its effect on electronic
data interchange capability as they influence logistics policies and practices are explored. The
use of computer software to solve logistics problems is introduced.
