In this context the term 'logistics' is taken in its broadest context as "the management of processes, flow of materials and associated information along the entire supply chain, from raw materials through to the final user of the product". The journal covers all aspects of logistics and supply chain management including, but not limited to, the topics and areas listed below:Inbound and outbound logistics including distribution, transport, warehousing, 3PL and 4PLMaterials Management MRP, DRP, ERP and Vendor or Co-Managed Inventories (VMI)Modelling and simulation of logistics and supply systems and processesDecision support tools, methods and systems such as Value Stream MappingIntra and inter enterprise communication tools and methods such as EDI, Internet, Extranet, RFID etc.Approaches and methods for Collaborative, Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR)Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Efficient Consumer Response (ECR)Procurement, e-Commerce, e-auctionsMass Customisation, Order Postponement, ResponsivenessSupplier DevelopmentSupply chain performance managementCollaboration and relationship management approaches in the extended supply chains including supplier networksEnvironmental and sustainability issues in logistics and supply chain including Reverse LogisticsManaging international logistical operations including outsourcingTraining and Education issues in Logistics and Supply Chain ManagementResearch MethodologiesCase studiesAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
