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.
Service providers work in close partnerships with their customers; they jointly
explore the opportunities for increasing efficiency of the supply chain and
improving service levels by using the latest systems and techniques.
Logisticians are responsible for the life cycle and supply chain operations of a
variety of products. They are also responsible for customs documentation. They
regularly work with other departments to ensure that the customers’ needs and
requirements are met.

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

Encourage feedback. The success of a company depends on input from all of its
employees or teams, regardless of their role in the logistics process. Carefully
consider feedback and suggestions from staff concerning practices that could further
improve logistics efficiency.
While logistics management is a complex process, utilizing the above strategies can
help you make the most of all warehousing, staffing, transportation, and
communication resources. The improvement of logistics planning will inevitably lead
to higher productivity, happier customers, and a more profitable company. ( Diversified
