Aims
The student should be able to build a mathematical model with respect to distribution logistics and to develop a suitable and adequate solution algorithm. The student should also be able to discuss the drawbacks of the model and what the implications are if implemented.
Previous knowledge
Good knowledge of operations research is required: linear programming, integer programming, network algorithms, dynamic programming, heuristics.

Content
The course discusses the issue of distribution logistics. Following topics are included:
- introduction: distribution within supply chain management
- shortest path, vehicle routing problem,
- reverse logistics: vehicle routing, impact on the supply chain.
- logistics in harbours
- logistics in airports
General comments are given. Some models, solution methods, and cases are discussed during the lectures.
Aims
The student should be able to build a mathematical model with respect to distribution logistics and to develop a suitable and adequate solution algorithm. The student should also be able to discuss the drawbacks of the model and what the implications are if implemented.
