A logistics scheduling model: Inventory cost reduction by batching

Logistics scheduling refers to the problems where the decisions of job scheduling and transportation are integrated in a single framework. In this paper, we discuss a logistics scheduling model where the raw material is delivered to the shop in batches. By making the batching and scheduling decisions simultaneously, the total inventory and batch setup cost can be reduced. We study different models on this issue, present complexity analysis and optimal algorithms, and conduct computational experiments. Some managerial insights are observed. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2005.

基于Monte Carlo的军事物流结点可靠性评估方法

军事物流网络结点是构成军事物流网络的基本要素。战场环境瞬息万变,结点的可靠性往往受许多不确定因素的影响,计及不确定因素的评估方法可以更客观、真实地评估结点的可靠性。基于此,提出了刻画物流结点可靠性的评估指标体系,建立了计及不确定因素的军事物流结点可靠性评估模型,给出了Monte Carlo求解算法。对影响结点可靠性的因素进行了分析,在此基础上提出了改善军事物流结点可靠性的措施。以某战役级军事物流网络为例进行算例分析,验证了该方法的可行性和正确性。

网格环境下虚拟物流企业模型描述及设计研究

虚拟物流企业设计的目的是获取最佳的物流效能,而最佳物流效能必须通过最佳的组织效能来体现,表现在物流使命与企业架构的匹配。由于网格环境下虚拟物流企业设计较为复杂,基于组织权变理论,首先给出了相关的基本概念,指出虚拟物流企业设计包括工作流程和企业架构设计两个方面,设计过程就是二者的平衡过程。此外,按照在物流资源约束的情况下能够产生最佳组织状态为要求,进行了虚拟物流企业设计,以数学模型表示了设计过程,并明确了求解任务,对虚拟物流企业设计研究由定性分析向定量研究转变进行了初步尝试。     

Think again – supplying war: reappraising military logistics and its centrality to strategy and war

This article argues that logistics constrains strategic opportunity while itself being heavily circumscribed by strategic and operational planning. With the academic literature all but ignoring the centrality of logistics to strategy and war, this article argues for a reappraisal of the critical role of military logistics, and posits that the study and conduct of war and strategy are incomplete at best or false at worst when they ignore this crucial component of the art of war. The article conceptualises the logistics–strategy nexus in a novel way, explores its contemporary manifestation in an age of uncertainty, and applies it to a detailed case study of UK operations in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001.     

“常规武器装备研制程序”的不足与改进

我国早期制定的《常规武器装备研制程序》,已不能适应当今武器装备研制过程中的可靠性和装备综合保障的新的观念和要求.现分析了原研制程序在这方面的不足,并提出修订研制程序的阶段划分并调整各阶段工作内容的建议;从根本上规范了武器装备研制工作,使其与装备综合保障工作同步进行和相互协调,以求所研制的武器装备交付部队使用后,能尽快形成战斗力.     

Impacts of logistics information on sales: Evidence from Alibaba

Facing fierce competition from rivals, sellers in online marketplaces are eager to improve their sales by delivering items faster and more reliably. Because logistics quality can be known only after a transaction, sellers must identify effective ways to communicate logistics information to consumers. Drawing on the accessibility-diagnosticity framework, we theorize that the sales impacts of logistics information depend on its relative diagnostic value. Using data on 1493 items with 505,785 consumer reviews from an online marketplace, we examine how sales are affected by three information sources for logistics services: online word of mouth (WOM) about logistics, self-reported logistics services, and expected delivery time. We use an instrumental variable method to address the endogeneity issue between sales and WOM. We find that, ceteris paribus, consumers give more weight to WOM about logistics and delivery time when they make purchase decisions but less weight to self-reported logistics service. The effects of logistics information on sales are asymmetric for large and small sellers.
