Relativity of the "new logistic technologies" and of their inventory aspects
Article Abstract:
The effect of new logistic technologies on inventory investments are described. These technologies are innovations in technology, organization, economy and management with regard to production, trade, transportation and communication geared towards increasing the efficiency of material flows. Although efficiency is often associated with automation and sophisticated equipment, this is not always the case as seen in the lunch-box carriers in India. Economic circumstances largely determine the degree of the effect these technologies have on inventory investments.
