The objective is to develop heuristics for these supply chain problems in order to offer practical solutions to improve operational efficiency. These heuristics are evaluated using benchmark and derived data-sets. Case studies pertaining to logistics in different industries including textile machinery manufacturing and banking are also included to demonstrate the created heuristics. High competition in today?s global market has forced the organizations to invest in and focus on their logistics system. The critical function of logistics is the transportation within and across various supply chain entities. Both supply and distribution procedure require effective transportation management. A small improvement in routing problems can lead to huge logistics savings in absolute terms. This book should appeal to executives, researchers and consultants seeking supply chain management solutions. 606 $aProduction management 606 $aTransportation 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aOperations Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519000 606 $aTransportation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/119000 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 615 0$aProduction management. 615 0$aTransportation. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 14$aOperations Management. 615 24$aTransportation. 615 24$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 676 $a330 676 $a388 676 $a658.40301 676 $a658.5 700 $aAnbuudayasankar$b S.
