Abstract

In the 21st century, logistics has emerged as a leading and complex field.

Main factors that have contributed to the emergence and complexity of logistics include: globalization, outsourcing, contract manufacturing, shortened product life cycles, pressure to reduce carbon-emissions, multichannel distribution and the need for adequate return channels.
