Abstract

This paper describes how studies at the Institute of Asian Pacific Studies for Multi-Clients, started in 1996, have gone beyond the boundary of 'production', to their present status. In addition, the issues on 'logistics' are suggested and new concepts of 'neo-logistics' are shown to be used as a solution for them. The essential meaning of logistics is explained and the importance of the systems concept is emphasized which can be used as an objective for the logistics engineering.
