Preface
In the past decades, logistics management turned out to be one of the most
important success factors in managing the tremendous challenges of a more and
more globalized economy. In industry and science, many new methods and tools
for decision support in procurement-, production-, distribution-, resource-, and
supply chain management have been developed and applied successfully. In
September2015theconferenceonlogisticsmanagementLM2015tookplaceatthe
Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany, as the ninth event of a biannual
logistics management series that started back in 1999. Founded and supervised by
the special interest group on logistics in the German Academic Association for
Business Research (VHB), this series of conferences focuses on academic
achievements with respect to the management of the logistics function offirms.
LM2015isheldinconjunctionwithVHB’sspecialinterestgrouponproduction,
thus, without loss of variety in the treatment of logistics topics, one can observe a
bias to production logistics, i.e., facility layout, inventory management, line con-
figuration, or production planning and scheduling. This emphasis is underlined by
the invited keynote of Rainer Lasch and Roy Fritzsche, entitled “Condition-Based
Maintenance Planning Within theAviation Industry.” The contribution aims atthe
increaseofaircraftavailabilityduetocondition-basedmaintenanceplanningaswell
as the efficient supply of spare parts.
Apart from the aforementioned invited paper the other 19 contributions of this
volume have undergone a thorough review by at least three referees each. The
condition of acceptance has been set to an above average rating of at least two
oftherefereesinvolved.Twoofthese papersaddressthemanagementofsupplies:
“Considering Small and Medium-Sized Suppliers in Public Procurement—The
Case of the German Defence Sector” discusses the practice of lot-wise calls in
German defense procurements. The empirical study “Integration of Cultural
Aspects in Supplier Evaluation” focuses on cultural differences in the cooperation
between buyer and supplier.

intothesupplychainmatrix.“CoordinationinMultimodalSupplyChains:Drafting
an Agent-Based Exchange” introduces a market place concept for agent-based
freightexchangebasedonbiddingauctions.“Flexibilityof3PLContracts:Practical
Evidence and Propositions on the Design of Contract Flexibility in 3PL
Relationships” covers flexibility mechanisms in contract design. An analysis is
performed in order to identify areas of prospective research.
A bunch of four papers deals with the integrated management of resources
withinafirm.“IntegratedFacilityLocation,Capacity,andProductionPlanningina
Multi-Commodity Closed Supply Chain Network” introduces a mixed integer
model for forward and reverse flows of multiple make-to-order products. “An
ExtendedModelFormulationoftheFacilityLayoutProblemwithAisleStructure”
suggests a mixed integer model capable of handling layout arrangement and aisle
structure simultaneously. “Integrated Make-or-Buy and Facility Layout Problem
with Multiple Products” tackles a simultaneous make-or-buy decision while con-
sideringcostsofoutsourcingaswellasproductioncostsimposedbyfacilitylayout.
Thepaper“QualificationandCompetenceRelatedMisfitsinLogisticsCompanies:
Identification and Measurement” is the only one in this volume addressing the
important topic of human resources in a mixed method approach.
Flexible Production Management is considered by three papers. “A Lot
Streaming Model for a Re-entrant Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Missing
Operations” examines the impact of increasing the number of sublots for this
stochastic scheduling problem. The paper “Identifying Complexity-Inducing
Variety: Adapting ClustalW for Semiconductor Industry” adapts the protein mul-
tiple sequence alignment program ClustalW for complexity measurement in
workflow design. The “Consideration of Redundancies in the Configuration of
AutomatedFlowLines”performsanumericalanalysisonredundantconfigurations
aiming at ensuring throughput rates while avoiding costly buffer space.
Another four papers deal with distribution management. “Prepositioning of
Relief Items Under Uncertainty: A Classification of Modeling and Solution
Approaches for Disaster Management” combines facility location and inventory
management under uncertainty. “Forecasting Misused E-Commerce Consumer
Returns”predictstheratioofreturningitemsalreadyusedbycustomers.Thisisof
particular importance since used items cannot be directly resold anymore. “A
Rollout Algorithm for Vehicle Routing with Stochastic Customer Requests”
maximizes the number of served requests within the time limit of a work shift. “A
Real-World Cost Function Based on Tariffs for Vehicle Routing in the Food
Retailing Industry”integratestheprice structurebased ontariffsasthey appear for
freight carriers. In particular, compartments of vehicles and time windows for
delivery are considered.
The last three papers of this volume are devoted to transport management. “An
Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search for the Reverse Open Vehicle Routing
Problem with Time Windows” extends the OVRP by time windows and truck
specificstartingpositions.Ametaheuristicgeneratesreturntripstothedepotforthe

The paper “Vehicle Routing and Break Scheduling by a Distributed Decision
Making Approach” introduces a framework for distributed decision making such
that drivers and planners coactively solve the integrated problem.
