Logistics is an essential component of supply chain management. It involves the planning, carrying out and management of goods, services, and information from the point of origin to the point of consumption. Logistics aligns the complex pattern of traffic and transportation, shipping and receiving, import and export operations, warehousing, inventory management, purchasing, production planning, and customer service.

Logistics Can Help Improve Efficiency and Reduce Costs

As the global economy moved into the 21st Century, logistics became a critical part of supply chain management and consumer demand. In less than two decades, logistic management has influenced product movement to meet or exceed consumer demand. Companies saw they could lower costs and increase productivity by managing logistics on a system theory and managing the company as a whole to boost performance.

By creating partnerships with suppliers, shipping services and warehouses, and connecting these services through automated systems, the logistics of getting products to the consumer are improved with reduced overhead costs and faster delivery. Understanding how the logistics system theory works require strategic planning when calculating what will be needed while focusing on obtaining materials and managing how quickly products are produced to help ensure swift delivery to the consumer.

Simplifying communication and services between multiple departments help create a workflow blueprint that reduces costs by increasing visibility and improving the overall understanding of company needs. Cost savings is created by reducing warehousing costs and purchasing based on supply forecasts, better inventory management, reliable shipping and timely delivery to the end-user.
