Logistics and supply chains (SC) involve the physical movement of materials and products, including transportation, warehousing, trans-shipment, and order-picking processes. These elements must be integrated and coordinated with production processes, creating inherent dynamics within logistics systems and SCs. The significance of understanding these dynamics and their effects on the performance and resilience of logistics and SC systems is increasingly recognized in both literature and practice. As modern logistics and SC systems become more networked and integrated, isolated operational problems evolve into complex, multi-dimensional challenges, characterized by various factors such as multi-stage, multi-period, and multi-commodity issues. The diversity of dynamic characteristics—like demand fluctuations, inventory dynamics, dynamic lot-sizes, changes in supplier structures, and information dynamics—can significantly affect performance. Additionally, disruptions from natural or human-driven events further complicate these systems. The interplay of these dynamics across different organizational, functional, product-based, informational, and financial structures, combined with coordinated decision-making by active decision-makers, underscores the complexity of modern logistics and SC systems as multi-structural active systems with dynamic structures.
