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
3
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.
Define the terms: "logistics" and "supply chain".

In general, Logistics is one of the areas of the company, perhaps one of the most important in
charge of managing (goods and services), information, warehouses, transportation, internal
organization, among other activities. Its objective is to place the right products, in the right place,
at the right time and in the desired conditions, contributing as much as possible to the
profitability of the company.
The supply chain comprises the different links that occur in a company, ranging from
unprocessed raw materials to finished products that reach the final consumer. It is the life cycle of
a product or service, from its conception to its consumption. A subsystem within the organization
that includes the planning of the activities of supply, manufacture and distribution of products. In
short, the supply chain encompasses supply and demand, inside and outside the company.
What does logistics management imply?

On the other hand, the logistics of a company involves different tasks such as the integration of
information, transportation, inventory, storage, material handling, packaging and security.
Describe what service providers do in order to increase efficiency of the supply chain.
In addition to everything, suppliers have a very important task in the supply chain and outside
this, their contribution can make the supply chain start well, since it is, they who deliver the raw
material with which the supply will continue. rest of supply chain processes.
Define the “logistics re-engineering” process and its factors.

In addition, logistics reengineering includes the search for process efficiency using the latest
techniques and systems. additionally, it includes the nature of the product, the optimal or
preferably location of the source or manufacture, the costs of freight and transportation, seasonal
trends, import and export regulations, tariffs, taxes, etc.
Specify the main function of a qualified logistician.

therefore, the logistician must manage the inventories, purchases, transportation, storage,
consultation, organization and planning of these activities.

Specify the responsibilities of professional logisticians.
Finally, the logistic has the ultimate responsibility of the life cycle and operations of the supply
chain of a variety of products.

Improve Logistics Efficiency
6
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
strategies that minimize costs, fully utilize production capacity, and improve the overall
quality of customer experience.
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 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.
7
Automate communication technologies. Logistics management software communicates
between the warehouse and accounting departments and allows for the delivery of
timely updates to the customer. This significantly streamlines the entire process, from
storage through shipment, and requires minimal staffing.
Encourage feedback. The success of a company depends on input from all its employees
or teams, regardless of their role in the logistics process. Carefully consider feedback
and suggestions from staff concerning practices that could further improve logistics
efficiency.
While logistics management is a complex process, utilizing the above strategies can
help you make the most of all warehousing, staffing, transportation, 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)
4. Download, from the complementary material file, the article: How to Compare Six Sig,
