SUPPLY CHAIN: LOGISTIC & DISTRIBUTION IN CONTEXT

Logistics and Supply Chains

What is Logistics
The total management of the key operational functions in the supply chain – procurement, production and distribution. Procurement includes purchasing and product development. The production function includes manufacturing and assembling, while the distribution function involves warehousing, inventory, transport and delivery.

Logistics : Transport Principles
• Economies of scale : Large capacity transportation vehicle are less costly per unit of freight than smaller capacity vehicle. • Economy of distance : Decrease transportation coast per unit of weight as distance increase. To maximise the size of load and the distance being shipped while still meeting the customer expectation,

Logistics and Supply Chains Reverse Logistics is the process of planning, implementation and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow of raw materials, in process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of consumption to the point of origin for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal.

Logistics and Supply Chains

A Supply Chain is that network of organisations that are involved, through upstream and downstream linkages, in the different processes and activities that produce value in the form of products and services in the hands of the ultimate customer or consumer.
