Intelligent Logistics and Supply Chain Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Globalization and fast-changing technological developments have a direct impact on supply chain design and management. When managing the supply chain's components, modern supply chain procedures must be adaptable, proactive, integrated, and information driven. Customers who use intelligent logistics and supply chain systems are given the ability to precisely control every stage of the transportation lifecycle, including contracting, planning, executing, and tracking shipments, as well as having control over managing yards, making appointments, and financial issues.

The goal of this Special Issue on “Intelligent Logistics and Supply Chain Systems” is to establish a dynamic platform where different knowledge streams will be concentrated in order to exchange knowledge and experiences that promote innovation in these areas. Moreover, this Special Issue aims to present practical innovations in intelligent logistics systems and promote the practicality of the intelligent logistics system and supply chain management process for optimizing the design of the intelligent logistics system and supply chain management.
