Logistics Challenges: Global and Local Approaches

Opis

The monograph, titled Logistics Challenges: Global and Local Approaches, is the result of scientific meetings and discussions held during the Global Conference on Logistics (GCoL2024). The aim of the Global Conference on Logistics was to disseminate the latest research findings and achievements of scholars at an international forum, as well as to discuss current issues in the fields of logistics and management.

This monograph presents a multifaceted perspective on the challenges and opportunities of contemporary logistics, showcasing both scientific research and practical solutions in this field. It is divided into three parts, each focusing on different but complementary aspects of modern logistics: advanced technologies and innovations, sustainable development, and the economics of transport and logistics. The first part, Modern Technologies and Innovations in Logistics, explores the role of innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Web 4.0 technologies in enhancing the efficiency and adaptability of logistics processes. This section includes analyses of AI applications in inventory management, highlighting the benefits of neural networks and machine learning. The authors discuss the development of IT systems, such as SDP3, aimed at optimizing transport in production processes. Additionally, the significance of logistics clusters in Poland is examined, emphasizing their role as catalysts for innovation through collaboration, technology development, and integrated networks of enterprises. The chapters in this part provide invaluable insights into the role of technology in increasing logistics competitiveness and adaptability to changing market conditions.

The second part, Sustainable Development and Logistics Process Optimization, focuses on the role of logistics in achieving sustainable development goals and optimizing processes in response to environmental and economic challenges. A key topic is the decarbonization of transport, requiring significant CO2 emission reductions by 2050. The authors present decarbonization scenarios for Poland, emphasizing the need for new technologies and regulatory frameworks. They also highlight the "milkrun" concept, which enhances operational efficiency by integrating supply and return processes. An important aspect of this part is the analysis of CSR practices in the logistics sector, covering sustainable development objectives in environmental, social, and governance areas. Practical examples and studies underscore the necessity of an integrated logistics approach that combines innovation with environmental responsibility.

The third part, Transport and Logistics Economics, addresses economic and strategic aspects of logistics and transport. One of the discussed topics is the formation of freight rates in the face of rising operational costs, such as fuel prices and road tolls. These analyses rely on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) methodology, indicating cost optimization directions for transport companies. Another key issue is the impact of autonomous vehicles on supply chains in Europe, considering economic savings and increased efficiency. The authors also examine the significance of information exchange standards, such as EDI, GS1, and XML, in market forecasting and operational risk reduction. These standards enable faster data exchange, improved transparency, and better disruption management in supply chains. The final chapters in this section focus on integrating technological innovations with renewable energy sources in construction, highlighting logistics' potential contributions to sustainable practices.

The monograph Logistics Challenges: Global and Local Approaches serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in contemporary logistics challenges.
