This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: SOL Home, Project SOL (Self Organizing Logistics) issues 2. What steps should be taken when introducing self-organization in a centrally managed logistic eco system, specifically: • What is the ideal end vision of self organization in logistic systems? • What costs and benefits can be expected in each step, for all stakeholders? • Which intermediate step is attainable in the near future, having positive impact on competitiveness of the Dutch industry and stakeholders, and how does this look like?, Project SOL (Self Organizing Logistics) (expected) results 1. Roadmap towards an ideal self organizing logistic system The roadmap will be based on a state of the art analysis of related research projects within and outside TNO. The roadmap will describe: • The “ideal�? self organizing logistic system (what functions, what mechanisms, what technology, what actors) in some selected situations (urban distribution; national transport; …). This is the ‘dot on the horizon’ that can contain technology, business functions or mechanisms that do not yet exist. • Intermediate steps towards the end vision, including the positions and benefits of all relevant stakeholders and the way these stakeholders cooperate. The intermediate steps will describe the evolution towards the ‘dot on the horizon’ in such a way that each step is attractive and adds value for the stakeholders involved. • The choice and description of a realistic and attainable intermediate step, that will be elaborated in the demonstrator. This intermediate step will be a situation that can be implemented in principle within some years., Project SOL (Self Organizing Logistics) impact Knowledge and technology position The SOL project will strengthen the technology position of TNO by a) demonstrating that the generic knowledge generated by the ETP AMSN projects is applicable and b) setting the agenda for an innovative development line in the field of logistics, specifically relating to the synchromodality roadmap in the Topsector Logistics. Note: some ‘missionary’ work has to be done here, eg by TNO: the 4C (cross chain control centers) concept is not very self-organizing by nature. One of the development directions of Smart Logistics involves bottom-up self-organized planning, leading to cost reductions of 20%-40% [8]. In such a scenario, the TNO position would then be very strong, for instance in the role of designer and evaluator of smart urban logistics systems; the impact of these systems is on various levels: both municipalities and provinces will need TNO expertise, but also companies (individual companies, consortia, or sectorial organizations) will need expertise on how to connect their business processes to a self organizing logistics system., Project SOL (Self Organizing Logistics) issues 1. What does self organization look like when applied to logistic systems, more specifically: • How to handle conflicts between agents? • How to reconcile tactical high level planning goals and low level operational control actions? • How to measure the current and expected (emergent) system behaviour? • What possibilities exist to intervene in the network?, Project SOL (Self Organizing Logistics) approach ????
