In the logistics management of continuous process industries significant competitive advantage may be obtained by using decision support systems based on recent advances in information technology. However, the subject is receiving far less attention in literature than that in the manufacturing industry. The papers in this volume were presented at the seminal Shell Conference on Logistics. Topics covered include vehicle routing, logistics-related operations research, large-scale control systems, parallel computing in large-scale optimization, software development, and management issues in flexible process manufacturing.
For operational research professionals and researchers in academia.
