Focus and Scope

Aims and Scope

Jurnal Logistik Bisnis (JLB) (p-ISSN: 2086-8561) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by Universitas Logistik dan Bisnis Internasional (ULBI). The journal serves as a platform for academics, researchers, and practitioners to disseminate high-quality research applying generic business and management disciplines to the fields of logistics, supply chain, transportation, and distribution operations.

The core philosophy of Jurnal Logistik Bisnis places Management Science as the primary umbrella, evaluated through the empirical and operational context of logistics ecosystems.

1. Operations, Inventory & Technology Management

  • Inventory control systems (EOQ/POQ, continuous & periodic review, intermittent demand models).
  • Demand forecasting methods (time series, machine learning, meta-heuristics, and hybrid algorithms).
  • Warehouse management, material handling, and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for operational efficiency.
  • Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP), fleet management, and cold chain distribution systems.

2. Human Resource & Organizational Dynamics in Logistics

  • Workload assessment, picker efficiency, and ergonomics in warehousing and logistics tasks.
  • Performance management systems for courier, retail, and third-party logistics (3PL) workforces.
  • Organizational behavior, change management, and labor dynamics within supply chain operations.

3. Financial, Strategic & Regulatory Analysis
