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.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LOGISTICS IN BUSINESS

Today, efficient logistics and transportation system are important prerequisites of the development of any economy. In modern competitive environment, it is not enough to offer a product that meet customers’ requirements. The way of its delivery is also very important. The art and science of delivering goods with speed and precision can help businesses operate more efficiently, lower costs and gain new customers.

Logistics has evolved throughout centuries to become an integral part of every business. Logistics has been performed since the beginning of civilization. Raw materials and finished products had always to be moved, though on a small scale. Gradually, people began moving from rural to urban areas; the geographical distance between the point of production and the point of consumption increased considerably.

There was a time when companies used to develop a product range, plan their distribution channels, schedule marketing campaigns and deliver the finished product to their retailers themselves. However, since the early 1990’s logistics operations have become much more complex. The global logistics market has grown radically over the years.

The major benefits of efficient logistics operations can be summarized as follows:

• Cost savings by centralizing inventory management.

• Faster order fulfillment by relying on a global transportation network.

• Improved cash flow.

• Flexibility to change distribution patterns for new products based on ever-changing customer demands.

The main customer groups (market segments) served by the logistics industry are the following:

• Parcel and documents express delivery services.

• Freight by air, ocean, road or rail.

• Warehousing and distribution.

• Supply chain solutions.

Logistics is one of the spheres, which still have potential as far as improving performance is concerned. There are large unused capacities in logistics processes in terms of costs reduction and quality of service.
