摘要

For a number of years modelling has played a significant role in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of many systems and processes in the area of logistics and transportation, however this still remains an area which presents considerable challenges. Prof. Marvin L. Manheim questions how to "assess, discuss and present the strengths and weaknesses of analytical techniques and models such as the role and limitations of analysis are understood by all". This indicates the complexity and at the same time the challenges that modelling presents for researchers and practitioners.
