Product Description
A unique, practical guide to the power of simulation in the art of logistics management. Authors show better ways to manage complex logistics systems than "seat of the pants" decision making, and argue that information systems people must provide management with simulations that are timely and easily understood. In doing so, Nersesian and Swartz demonstrate the inadequacy of conventional quantitative methods in dealing with complex logistical systems, and show how simulation can address various logistics management issues. Important reading for logistics managers and computer staffs and for educators seeking better ways to make logistical decisions.
Customer Reviews & Comments
In general the book was good. The text was well written, the examples were practical, and the simulations were informative. (4 to 5 stars). However, the code was rough which made the logic flow very difficult to understand. Furthermore, it made the models very inflexible. I had to rewrite virtually everything ( 1to 2 stars).
