Features: Logistics is known as the "third profit source." In recent years, with the diversification of customer demands, fierce enterprise competition, the development of the global manufacturing concept, and China's entry into the WTO, logistics has gained global attention. The Chinese government has also regarded it as a new economic hotspot. From the central government to local authorities, and from the government to enterprises, efforts have been made to plan and build logistics strategies and systems at various levels. This book focuses on logistics activities in production and commercial circulation, analyzing and introducing logistics network design, logistics distribution models, inventory models, and warehouse design, as well as production logistics, reverse logistics, and the new developments in the application of logistics simulation technology. Its main feature lies in the combination of theory and practice, emphasizing operability and practicality, and is dedicated to helping readers improve their ability to solve real-world problems. This book can serve as a textbook for logistics majors at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as a reference for logistics professionals.
