The field of logistics is confronted with an increasing complexity. Due to globalization production and logistics networks are becoming more international and the number of involved parties is increasing. Besides rising customer demands, decreasing length of product life cycles or increasing costs pressure, the complexity and heterogeneity of networks mainly result from the immense amount of goods which are part of logistics systems and processes. In this paper we examine how traditional modeling concepts approach the rising complexity mainly caused by the increasing diversity and heterogeneity of the considered logistics objects, in particular the goods and products processed in logistics systems. We studied the considered concepts according to their ability of modeling a system, process and in particular an object structure of logistics systems. Results show that most of the examined concepts lack in representing an object structure. Moreover, these concepts do not provide a means in supporting the composition and decomposition of logical groups effectively in the field of logistics.
