Decision models for the design and management of logistics networks with high interoperability and information integration
Overview
Background & policy context:
For several decades, planning and management of logistics systems have been the object of several studies and researches. However, the increasing complexity of these systems and the availability of widespread technologies allowing interaction between the different decision makers and the acquisition of information, require the development of models and the identification of innovative issues compared to those generally found in traditional literature.
Objectives:
The main objective of the project was to state to what extent the architectural framework of information (sets of information used by decision-makers, the flow of information exchanged, etc.) influences the decisional architectural framework of the decision-making system (characterized by a variety of heterogeneous decision-makers, different kind of interactions and hierarchical relationships between the various actors, etc.).
The other important objective of this study is to define global performance indicators of a logistic system in relation to information and decisional architecture.
Methodology:
The innovative aspect of the project is the creation of a network of contacts between research units and external entities (public administrations, private subjects, infrastructure managers, etc.) in order to facilitate the knowledge transfer of modelling and methodological skills in different contexts of applications and to raise awareness in researchers more focused on methodological aspects towards advanced architectural frameworks and issue.
