“…A change in a model also leads to changes in subsequent models. Therefore, the use of simulation techniques has to be integrated in the planning process [6]. It must be ensured that the created process models within the planning process, based on a separate description of each logistics service, can be transferred automatically into a simulation model.…”

“…process models, provider models, simulation models) are used for planning logistics processes. The importance of simulation within the planning of logistics contracts together with the specific goals and requirements of a 4PL's simulation approach are discussed in [MKLF12]. In addition, the need for an approach to transform process models to simulation models is highlighted in this paper.…”

“…we still have to provide the same information in multiple systems). According to [MKLF12], this can result in high costs and an error-prone overall planning process and they therefore recommend to provide an integrated planning process which can reduce the overall time and effort. In this contribution, we thus present a comprehensive approach for gathering runtime information from logistics contracts, for the integration of several models which are part of defining a complex logistics service and for an integrated overall planning process.…”

In the past, logistics used to be a core function of production and trading companies but many of them started to outsource at least parts of their logistics functions to specialized logistics service providers in terms of logistics contracts. With this, sophisticated business models such as value added logistics service providers evolved which focus on tasks of planning, coordination and monitoring of entire supply chains involving multiple logistics providers. Challenges remain though, for instance how a complex logistics contract can be planned and how it can be assured that the providers comply with the planned process. In this article, we present a conceptual as well as technical solution to the monitoring of logistics services and show how to reuse this information in a model for the integrated planning of logistics contracts. A simulation model thereby ensures validity of the overall planning. An approach for integrating different models helps to overcome the problem of utilizing multiple models. Finally, an example scenario shows how each part contributes to a successful planning process for logistics contracts.
