This book Analyses critical external elements affecting modern logistics, including pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, energy crises, and trade embargoes, and investigates how these circumstances necessitate logistics networks to implement more resilient and adaptable strategies to maintain operational continuity.
This book presents issues related to supply chain management, considering contemporary conditions and turmoil. It shows how global events affect the effectiveness and efficiency of logistics, and thus shows how to take them into account and better manage logistics processes in these chains. The book provides readers with easy-to-use tools to plan and build supply chains that are resilient, reliable, and have reduced risk. The reader will also receive recommendations for the development and improvement of the efficiency of supply chains. Thanks to research and case studies, the reader can learn practical knowledge coming directly from leading companies implementing logistics processes on a global scale. The research results were presented transparently, enabling their practical application in future business activities. The book also discusses future technologies that are or will apply to supply chain management. These technologies are described in specific applications, so the reader will be able to quickly adapt them to the needs of their company.
