Engineering for logistics

This paper introduces a specific and customized approach on engineering for logistics. By deriving several new methods it is shown how they perform on various engineering tasks and material handling equipment. A special focus is on the reuse of the methods and on their identifying process. An interactive 3D-model to depict and identify the impact of the methods concludes the paper. Containing a large collection of literature the reader is able to further develop the methods introduced here for his personal use. The paper summarizes some essential parts of a Habilitation Thesis at Graz University of Technology.
