| | | | Dear Sir or Madam,
| |
| |
| | 
I wrote my dissertation on fleet management that uses real-time GPS data. Back then, 15 years ago, only a few people cared. Now it’s standard practice and generates added value. Since then, the algorithms have really improved, and we can solve problems no one thought possible.
We’re still seeing that there’s untapped potential in the practical application of optimization algorithms. Why? Better output. Greater climate protection. Lower costs. That should convince us all to set our sights on innovative IT solutions. Let’s talk about it.
In any case, Aurubis AG, Hamburg’s multimetal company, global market leader in its field, and KLU partner banks on algorithm-based forecasting models. Read about it in the company interview. The report on the international VeRoLog conference on Vehicle Routing and Logistics Optimization, which I organized, is a matching read.
Check out these sustainability topics in the issue: Learn sustainable management and save money when you register now for the SuMO program. How does the EU climate package affect road and freight transport? Read the interview with two professores at KLU’s Center for Sustainable Logistics.
Navigate well through the summer! For now, I wish you an inspiring read.
Yours,
Prof. Dr. Asvin Goel
Professor of Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Guest Editor
