Titel
Configurable logistics platform to handle supply turbulences - a case study in a focal supply network
Abstract
The paper exposes the coordination problem of focal supply networks that typically serve markets of customized mass products. For assessing and analyzing critical issues, a qualitative approach based on so-called turbulence patterns is proposed. We give the design principles and present in short the operation of a logistics platform that is aimed to provide means for handling objective turbulence factors and to eliminate the causes of subjective turbulences.
