[edit] About Logistics@Work community

Logistics@Work is the name given by the European Commission New Working Environment Unit to Next Generation Logistics Working Environments, comprising innovative technical solutions as well as socioeconomic and policy-related aspects. The fundamental goals of logistics are to enhance punctuality, accuracy and quality within given cost parameters. Achieving these goals requires fast and efficient management of both materials and associated resources. Industry recognises that, due to increased levels of International competition and the opening of new markets there are significant gains to be had through focusing attention on efficient management of logistics.

Next Generation Logistics Working Environments focuses on workers interacting with their environments and collaborating with each other, having access to all the (also virtualised) resources (enabling technology) required to carry out their tasks and enhancing their capabilities. Among these resources, the key is the knowledge of the co-workers to complement in dynamic groups the needed competences and skills to carry out the task in an efficient way leading to increase on productivity, and generating innovative and creative solutions."
