Why is Logistics Important?
Logistics is an essential component in supply chain management and a critical blueprint of the supply chain. It is used to manage, coordinate, and monitor resources needed to move products in a smooth, timely, cost-effective, and reliable manner.
Two Main Types of Logistics
- Inbound: Gathering, handling, storing and transporting inbound materials.
- Outbound: Involves the collection, maintenance, and delivery of products to the customer.
