Scientific publications, book chapters, and full-length volumes that address the key challenges of modern logistics
Our scientific output reflects ZLC’s commitment to generating high-quality, applicable knowledge with a global perspective. Over the years, we have actively contributed to academic progress in logistics, supply chain management, and operations through publications in high-impact journals.
We collaborate with universities, research centers, and companies to develop articles that tackle real-world problems using solid methodological foundations. Our papers cover topics such as optimization, sustainability, resilience, digitalization, urban mobility, and inventory planning, among others.
This research effort strengthens our practical impact and consolidates ZLC’s position as a European benchmark in logistics and supply chain research.
