Dr. Stefan Iskan, Professor of Logistics and Business Informatics, in particular Automotive SCM and Digitalization, presents a specialist book on the "Logistics Industry of the Future". The book examines Germany's third-largest industry in terms of its future viability and drafts practical scenarios for the coming years of the European transport and logistics industry.
What is the future of the European logistics industry and what needs to be done to successfully set up and transform the transport industry in times of digitalization, the "Green Deal" and a shortage of skilled workers? These are the key questions that Dr. Stefan Iskan, Professor of Logistics and Business Informatics at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences, explores in his new book.
Taking the current state of the industry as a starting point, Iskan first identifies the global megatrends and the influence of new technologies, as well as the opportunities and challenges they present for logistics companies. In particular, he believes that the consequences of a rapidly developing digital 4.0 economic world are of key importance for logistics and transport players.
Logistics expert Iskan then names the central technological modules of the future industry and explains the necessary transformation processes in the development of logistics toward becoming a process and value-added supplier. In doing so, he illuminates the area of tension between digitization pressure and analog challenges as well as the necessary changes in terms of processes, technologies and personnel.
With a concrete transformation plan, Stefan Iskan concludes by giving logistics players and their customers from industry and trade a hand on how the industry's transition can succeed in the future. Iskan is convinced that the transport and logistics industry will experience an immense increase in its importance, its efficiency and its range of services worldwide.
The book "Zukunftsbranche Logistik - Zwischen digitaler Industrialisierung und analoger Herausforderung" by Stefan Iskan was published by Campus-Verlag in Frankfurt in August 2021.
Dr. Stefan Iskan is Professor of Logistics and Business Informatics at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences. After holding professional positions at well-known companies in the logistics industry, he also advises logistics service providers on transformation processes.
