Unique attributes

The International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management :

• provides business practitioners, consultants and academics with leading edge information and discussions of current developments in the field
• facilitates the interchange of information among business planners and researchers on a worldwide basis
• provides a platform for new thinking on problems and techniques in physical distribution and logistics management

Topicality

In the last two decades, logistics has had a significant impact on materials handling. Because materials management and distribution is a fundamentally practical science, the gap between the development of logistical principles and their applications in working environments can be difficult to close. This journal aims to align the academic and practical elements so that distribution managers can develop and implement more competitive systems.
