The Essentials of Logistics and Management presents a broad spectrum of the knowledge required for a logisticians practice and for his contribution to the company's growth.

All these aspects are critical for the logistical strategy. The purpose is to bring the reader a methodology allowing him / her to use the critical factors embedded in the design of the strategy. The book combines both conceptual and practical illustrations. Transversal vision and detailed case studies highlight the main themes of modern logistics and daily preoccupations of logisticians. This book is a practical reference for all professionals of logistics: managers, planners and engineers as well as postgraduate students. It is based on the main topics taught at the International Institute for the Management of Logistics (IML).
