This book assesses whether, and to what extent, senior logistics executives use performance information when making logistics-related decisions. The research examines the performance management and measurement systems and processes within three major government organizations; determines what conditions, if any, affect logistics processes and how the organizations measure them; and explores whether senior officials use this information in their decisionmaking. Case studies were conducted on the United States Department of Defense (DOD), the United States Postal Service (USPS), and the United States Department of Energy (DOE). Based on 12 critical practices that the United Stated General Accounting Office has identified for federal agencies to use in assessing compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), 28 evaluation factors were used to assess the use of performance information at four logistical levels within each agency.

This book chooses the topic which is due to the editors' experience in modeling projects in healthcare systems. Also, the transfer of experiences is the reason why mathematical modeling and decision making in the field of health are not given much attention. To this end, the new aspect of this book is the lack of reference needed to carry out projects in the field of health for researchers whose main expertise is not modeling. Students of health, mathematics, management, and industrial engineering fields are in the direct readership with this book. Different projects in the field of healthcare systems can use the topics presented in different chapters mentioned in this book.

Eurocorridors are characterized by intensive transport flows and dynamic patterns of establishment and household locations. They are also considered the backbones of powerful spatial and economic forces in the areas that connect urban regions. One of the main difficulties in the spatial planning of eurocorridors has been the need to engage in different types of collective action. Such an approach can be extremely challenging in practice, useful to researchers in the field and to professionals as well. In the light of this, the book’s main objectives are: - To define the problem by analyzing the key features, which include freight and passenger transport policies and issues; the territorial context, with its geographical, social, economic and cultural aspects; the plurality of subjects with different aims and resources and the lack of homogeneous information. - To illustrate assessment models and evaluation frameworks (MCDA; Discrete Choice Analysis; Collaborative Assessments; Geovisualization Technologies) in theoretical terms and by the use of case studies.
