Logistics can be defined as the management of the flow of goods, information and
other resources, energy and people between the point of origin and the point of
consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers. Logistics involves
the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material
handling, packaging and security. Logistics may have an internal focus (inbound
logistics), or external focus (outbound logistics). If the company manufactures a
product from parts purchased
from suppliers, and those products are then sold to customers, one can speak
about a supply chain. Supply Chain can be defined as a network of facilities and
distribution options that performs the function of procurement of materials,
transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the
distribution of these finished products to customers.
When we talk about supply chain we refer to a set of facilities and distribution that
performs the function of acquisition of materials and supplies, to transform them
and then distribute them to customers.
The reengineering process considers the following factors: the nature of the
product, the optimal or preferred location of the source or manufacturing,
transportation costs and the destination market, seasonal trends, import and export
regulations, rights of customs and taxes, etc.
The main functions of a qualified logistics specialist include, among other things,
inventory management, purchasing, transport, storage, consultation, organization
and planning of these activities.
Logistics specialists are responsible for the life cycle and operations of the supply
chain of a variety of products. They are also responsible for customs documentation. They
work regularly with other departments to ensure that the client's needs are completely satisfied.

To implement a plan that will successfully optimize your logistics operations, consider
strategies that minimize costs, fully utilize production capacity, and improve the overall

Optimize transportation. The rising cost of transportation accounts for increased prices
in virtually every industry. To reduce transportation costs, companies should examine
every factor that might increase or decrease expenses.
1. This starts with the design of products and packaging for optimal size and weight.
2. Proper load and delivery route planning ensures trucks are always carrying full
loads.
3. Finally, identify and utilize the most cost-effective packaging and shipping
methods for products.
