Logistics in the manufacture of chemical products. This survery covers the fields of location analysis, organization of operational material flow, and materials management, all of which are interlocked with each other. Logistics problems with location analysis lie in the area of infrastructure, procurement, and distribution. The organization of the operational material flow has to be based on a closed concept, taking simultanously into consideration interests of production techniques and of logistics. Special attention has to be paid to the reciprocal effect of plant and storage capacity. With complex production structures simulation models should be used, including a statistical model of the market demands, systematic variation of material flows, and grouping of technical equipment. Target is a minimization of total cost. For market oriented operation of complex productions, integrated materials management systems have to be employed. The systems supply a transparent material flow starting from the market demands via the control of production up to the procurement of raw materials.
