    Pejić, Vaska ; Lerher, Tone ; Lisec, Andrej
    Lean Logistics (LL) is nowadays an important topic since waste reduction and cost efficiency are one of prime concerns of most companies. Also in logistics, the application of lean methods has made ... significant impacts on both - academia and industry, especially since late 1940's. Despite many successful implementations of lean methods in logistics, the concept itself and its borders are still hard to determine, often connected with lean manufacturing. The lack of definition and unclearly defined boundaries has led to confusion; therefore summarizing the evolution of LL led to this paper which comments approaches that have sought to address some of the earlier beginnings of LL. The objective of this research is to provide a framework for understanding the evolution of LL as not only a concept but also its implementation within an organization and connection with lean manufacturing.
