CONCEPTS OF LOGISTICS
1.
Physical Distribution
The broad range of activities associated with efficient movement of finished products from the end of the production line to the consumers.
2. 3.
Physical distribution function should be integrated with preproduction activities such as material sourcing and work-inprocess inventory to form a total material flow management
It has extended the concept beyond one firm to all firms involved in the whole supply chain.
ROLE OF LOGISTICS
SIGNIFICANCE OF LOGISTICS
Costs are high Customers are more demanding of the supply chain An integral part of company strategy Logistical lines are lengthening Logistics is a key to trade and an increased standard of living Logistics adds value
ACTIVITIES OF LOGISTICS
Procurement or purchasing
IMPORTANCE OF LOGISTICS
It has strategic importance with decisions affecting long-term performance and even survival It is expensive, with costs often forming a large part of turnover It directly affects profits, lead time, reliability and other measures of organisational performance It forms links with upstream suppliers, developing mutually beneficial, long-term trading relationships It forms links with downstream customers, contributing to customer satisfaction and added value It determines the best locations and sizes of facilities
CASE STUDY
Gujarat Pipavav Port Ltd (GPPL) is the first private sector port and the 3rd largest on the western coast of India for handling container cargo.
LOCATION
Port Pipavav is located in Saurashtra in the state of Gujarat, 152 nautical miles northwest of Mumbai (less than ten hours steaming time) on the west coast of India. Approximately 140 kilometres southwest of Bhavnagar. Port Pipavav is directly across from two islands Shial Bet and Savai Bet which act as a natural breakwater, making the port safe in all weather conditions.
STRENGTHS
Part of the APM Terminals network Port Pipavav leverages the shipping experience, strengths and network of its parent, APM Terminals, which operates 60 ports and terminals and 132 inland services in 63 countries. Strategically located all weather port Port Pipavav is an all-weather port located just 152 nautical miles from Nhava Sheva in Mumbai. The port's location in the state of Gujarat provides immediate access to a rich hinterland and key markets in northwest India. Large land bank available for growth With a total land area of 631 hectares, there is plenty of land available for expansion of port-related services and businesses. The port has leased out land for a variety of services including liquid cargo facilities.

CURRENT SCENARIO
RESEARCH PAPER
Research on Port Logistics Development Model Based on Supply Chain Management 2006 (School of Logistics Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, P.R.China, 430063) Abstract With the deepening of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) thinking, the port is gradually applied the relevant theory to develop its logistics model. This paper uses the theoretical and empirical analysis method, summarizes and compares the existing development models of port logistics, and then proposes that the Supply Chain Model (SC-Model) is an important trend in the development of port logistics, especially researches the structure and characteristics of SC-Model. Finally, this paper analyzes the current problem of SC-Model in Chinas ports, proposes the solutions accordingly, and obtains the conclusion that the establishment of coordination and information mechanisms is very important for the development of port supply chain.
