What are Logistics?
Logistics: A Definition
Logistics is the detailed planning and organization of a complex operation.
Logistics is perhaps best described as the process of getting product from A to B, utilizing the most efficient blend of rate, mode and service, within the constraints of time and cost.
Historically, a manufacturer would manufacture and sell to wholesalers, who in turn sold to retailers.
Warehouses of stock sat ready to move along the distribution chain as required, and each party involved took a margin.
