You may have heard of the word logistics countless times.

But do you really know what logistics is and the purpose it serves for businesses? More often than not, logistics is mistaken for distribution only. However, logistics is more than that. It involves the acquisition, storage and transportation of resources. In other words, it is the transportation and storage of goods or resources from the place of manufacture to the point of consumption. Logistics primarily consists of planning, warehousing and material handling, Inventory, Information and control and transport.

Planning

To have a well-balanced supply system, it is important to maintain well-planned operations. This will eliminate the improper supply of goods.

Warehousing and material handling

There are instances where the resource demand may not be as steady as the supply. When this happens, the best thing to do is to store them in well-built warehouses until they are in demand.

Inventory

Inventory plays a major role in logistics. It helps logistics companies and businesses to identify resources that are in high demand which leads to proper planning. It also enables companies to keep track of the resources that are taken in and out of the warehouse.

Transport

The first thing that most people think about when it comes to logistics is transport. Transport plays an important role in logistics. It is how resources or goods are moved from the point of origin to the point of use.

Information and control

Information and control play an instrumental role in predicting demand. It includes technologies and software programmes that provide the right information and data to effectively control logistics operations.
