This book examines logistics systems in an integrated way. Its goal is to describe and show how to find rational structures for logistics systems considering all the relevant aspects. Building on an understanding of the simplest logistical system with only one origin and one destination, the book treats problems with many origins and one destination, many destinations and one origin, and many origins and many destinations; this is done for systems with and without transshipments. The solutions and methodologies presented in the book are particularly helpful in instances where detailed data are not available and when time is of the essence. Preface to the Third Edition Aside from the removal of minor errors, the main modifieation in this printing of "Logisties Systems Analysis" is an improved explanation of many passages that had been found eonfusing by eolleagues and students, most notably in ehapters 5 and 6. A few referenees have also been added, mostly having to do with material eomplementary to that ofthe book. I would like to aeknowledge the eomments of Profs. Erie Mohr, Wei Lin, and David Lovell, and the input of graduate students Flavio Baita, Alan Erera, Reinaldo Garcia, Yuwei Li, and Juan Carlos Muiioz. CARLOS F.
