Abstract
Following the definition of the term logistics in Chapter 1 and the description of its three generic realizations (options), we set the stage now for analyzing logistics in general, and operational logistics in particular. This is done, in this chapter, by outlining the general structure of logistics, introducing terminology and describing the tools and methodologies that are utilized for its analysis.
