Functions of Logistics
‘Global Logistics’ is not unusual today. Here are some of the logistics functions that allowed this globalization to happen:
Purchasing of raw materials, assembled products, finished products from all over the world. Where can you get the quality you want at the best price?
Manufacturing operations – how should the machines be organized, how many workers do you need, where do you stock your materials and finished products, how many products do you manufacture on each production run? And the list goes on…
Transportation – domestic and international, from raw materials to finished product; who moves what, and when, and for what price?
Warehousing – product is either moving (transportation) or not (warehousing). This is becoming a very sophisticated area and the key to shortening the time to market the products.
Inventory control – how much product is on hand, on order, in transit, and where is it? Inventory drives logistics.
Import/export – international regulations and documentation can be complex. It takes a specialist to understand the best way to get product across borders.
Information systems – globalization on today’s scale is possible because there is technology that transfers the needed information.
Logistics is performing any of the above functions, or combinations of the above. It is the functions that occur within a single company. Logistics functions used to be considered unavoidable costs to a company, but today they are recognized as crucial to a company’s competitiveness and profitability.
