The Organization of Information for Logistics Decisionmaking

Abstract

The paper concerns logistics data collection, representation, and analysis. It contains a number of illustrations from logistics on how information has evolved in its role for decisionmaking. The illustrations cover a few of the earlier uses, with some indication of how these uses have evolved into more complex requirements. The illustrations are then followed by an overall perspective on the current state of the field, with some discussion of where the challenges now exist.
