“…Tactical planning in logistics addresses the flexibility of processes (volume, delivery and preconditions of operation) as well as supply chain design, relationships and inter-organizational information systems (Stevenson and Spring, 2007), (Esmaeilikia et al, 2014), (Schütz and Tomasgard, 2011). The term flexibility means the ability to be easily modified by maintaining and analyzing a variety of alternatives in order to choose the best for a specific task under current conditions (Bibhushan et al, 2014). In summary, tactical planning in logistics focuses on the engineering of available process alternatives and their evaluation (Esmaeilikia et al, 2014).…”

“…Especially tactical planning -as the foundation of flexibility -in the field of transport and distribution is underrepresented in research (Esmaeilikia et al, 2014). Further, the related adaptable IT is important for inter-organizational information linkage (Stevenson and Spring, 2007), (Bibhushan et al, 2014). This leads to additional difficulties as a variety of annotations and modelling methods exists next to the variety of IT-systems of the LSP.…”

The objective of tactical planning in logistics is the engineering and evaluation of processes within a given set of possible alternatives. Due to outsourcing and a division of labor, a high number of participants, available services and thus possible process alternatives arises within logistics networks. The additional wide range of service description and annotation methods result in a complex planning process. In order to support planning, a semi-automated approach is presented in this paper that is based on a combined catalog and construction system (for engineering) and a generic simulation approach (for evaluation) that are able to handle the variety of description and annotation methods. The basic concepts are presented and afterward associated by a modeldriven approach in order to connect them and make them compatible to work with each other. Finally, a method is developed to foster a semi-automated engineering and evaluation of process alternatives.
