LOGISTICS

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.

Logistics management is part of supply chain management. Logistics management

plans, implements, and controls the efficient flow and storage of goods, services
and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in
order to meet customers’ requirements. Successful supply chain operators 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. This approach is also referred to as logistics re-
engineering. The re-engineering process considers the following factors: the nature
of the product, the optimal or preferred location of source or manufacture, freight
and transport costs and the destination market, seasonal trends, import and export
regulations, customs duties and taxes, etc. A professional working in the field of
logistics management is called a logistician. The main functions of a qualified
logistician include, among other things, inventory management, purchasing,
transportation, warehousing, consultation and organizing and planning of these
activities. 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.
