Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 1998, vol. 34, issue 3, 201-215

Abstract: This paper explores and illustrates an analytical framework to assess an organization's logistics strategy. The optimum logistical system is evaluated based on three primary levels: the organizational/supply chain relationship involved, the principles of logistics required, and the attributes of these principles. The principles of logistics are defined and developed as strategies for achieving coordination and integration of the logistics network and supply chain. The analytic network process, a systemic analytical model, will be utilized to evaluate logistics strategies for an organization that seeks to be adaptive to dynamic competitive environments.
