  • determining new strategies for scheduling and logistics;
  • determining and optimizing tradeoffs within current scheduling and logistics systems;
  • understanding and improving the scheduling and logistics infrastructure, including: forecasting, all aspects of capacity, economic effects, information technologies, and human resources.
