Abstract
Transportation and Logistics have a growing importance in a global economy. As parts and products travel longer distances over more modes of transport, supply chains become more fragile, complex, and costly to manage. As transportation and logistics costs rise in importance, inventory, handling, lot size, and mode choice decisions have a larger effect on corporate profitability. From public welfare perspective, secure and sustainable world freight transport system concerns must be balanced with efficient transportation and logistics networks. Operations research can play a critical role in designing, operating, and improving freight transportation and logistics systems. Accordingly, Interfaces is planning a special issue focusing on the application of operations research techniques on freight transportation and logistics. Papers should fall into one of following categories: • An application with a verification letter from the company or organization using the results • A novel literature review of operations research related to freight transportation and logistics • A novel tutorial emphasizing the practical implementation of transportation and logistics systems
