Abstract: Learning Objectives Designing logistics systems means dealing with complex planning and decision problems. The following chapter will examine details and strategies in logistics planning with a focus on planning logistics networks, warehouse networks, and transport networks. Besides basic structures and configurations of logistics networks, the reader will be introduced to contemporary concepts of designing transport and storage networks. These are mainly employed in distribution. As logistics networks are increasingly being operated by the logistics service providers, this chapter will highlight aspects of outsourcing, tendering, and selecting transport and logistics service providers.
