Abstract: Abstract Solving logistical problems has been an important aspect of human activity since we first began working towards goals together. The function of logistics has undergone profound and farreaching changes since then, and the last forty years have seen it evolve from its heavy concentration on a company’s physical processes to a holistic process- and customer-oriented management instrument. This has also meant a continual change of the mathematical challenges in logistics. This paper will review the contributions of mathematics to logistics and illustrate how the use of new mathematical insights and procedures will ensure the potential for continued successes in logistics.
