Events take place at possibly unpredictable points in space and time and therefore impose special problems in relation to classical logistics modelling. Examples include the obvious lack of data related to historic demand, also most event products are difficult to store, there is uncertainty related to demand forecasts as well as limited event horizons, consumers are brought to a product (in most events) as opposed to the traditional manufacturing situation, and many events are effective monopolies. Event Logistics discusses, presents and provides solutions to logistics problems related to events and includes the following key topics: * Forecasting * Inventory Management * Production * Supply Chains * Transportation * Dynamic Pricing * "Hype Logistics" * Facility Location * Sequencing This book is designed for students taking courses in Event Logistics and others who need an updated review in this field.
