LOGISTICS NETWORK AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LOGISTICS NETWORK

摘要

The invention concerns a logistical network comprising edges and nodes by means of which mailings sent from a sender to a reveiver are transferred, processed and forwarded in a sequence which is predetermined in terms of time and place. The network further comprises devices for determining differences between the nominal data describing the state of the logistical network and actual data measured. A control system is provided for minimizing the differences in a predetermined period of time by shifting the processing of mailings from one node or a plurality of nodes of which the capacity is reduced with respect to the nominal data to one or a plurality of other nodes such that minimal additional expenditure is incurred.
