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, warehous ing, 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 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-

Improve Logistics Efficiency

When it comes to business logistics, continuous improvement is necessary to facilitate robust and sustained growth. Rising prices on expenses from energy to labor to raw materials pose a challenge to every company's bottom line. By improving the efficiency of their logistics processes, companies can gain and sustain an edge over their competitors. To implement a plan that will successfully optimize your logistics operations, consider







Consider these four methods to increase logistics efficiency: Maximize storage. By analyzing and implementing warehousing procedures, companies can store, move, and ship products more effectively. This requires adequate and well-trained warehouse staff, strategic sequencing (to only move products the minimum required number of times), and use of vertical storage to fully utilize available space. Carefully scrutinizing ordering patterns to ensure quick delivery of products, as well as effective space utilization, is also important. 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 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.





While logistics management is a complex process, utilizing the above strategies can help you make the most of all warehousing, staffing, transportation, transport ation, and communication resources. The improvement of logistics planning will inevitably lead to higher productivity, happier customers, and a more profitable company. ( Diversified Distribution Services Inc. 2016)
