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.
