The challenge to companies in the age of globalization and deregulation is that of adapting to the new requirements of the market. Flexible and dynamic process chains are the shape of the future – within companies, between companies and at cross-company level.

The modelling of transitions between the various carriers, and the integration of the carriers with the processes of industrial manufacture and installation, as well as with the service processes of commerce, while taking all the many-sided dependencies into account, together constitute a major focus of interest in the field of logistics. Within companies this includes the optimization of flows of transport by designing innovative logistics processes together with the use of advanced logistics information systems.
