TALLER
Talking about Logistics, workshop
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.
supply chain
The supply chain is the process that covers from how a raw material arrives, how it
is transformed into a good or a service and how it is delivered to the final customer.
Suppliers work hand in hand with their customers, exchanging information such as
the status of the merchandise, its quality and its durability over time, in order to
work on continuous improvement and increasingly offer a better service or product.
Logistics reengineering is the creation of a new logistics process in which the entire
system is changed, and the difference in efficiency and quality is noted compared
to the previous engineering.

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.
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.
Automate communication technologies. Logistics management software communicates
between the warehouse and accounting departments and allows for the delivery of
timely updates to the customer. This significantly streamlines the entire process, from
storage through shipment, and requires minimal staffing.
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 Distribution
