Logisticians of the Third Kind

Abstract

In the US today there exists two kinds of logisticians, one produced from the business college and the other from the engineering college. Each is usually not aware the other exists; each type is in approximately the same dollar market, and both use the title “logistician”. With the increasing complexity of technology and size of systems today, there exists a growing need for a third kind of logistician. This paper describes the need and offers some suggested reorientation for colleges of business and of engineering to meet this need.
