Logistics is the process of planning, implementing andcontrolling the efficient, cost effective flow and storageof raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goodsand related information from point of origin to point ofconsumption for the purpose of conforming tocustomers requirements.
THE AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT
Other scientists define logistics as planning, implementing, and controllingthe physical flows of materials and finished goods from point of origin to poinof use to meet the customers need at a profit.

Objectives of logistics
Reduction of inventory: Inventory is one of the key factors, which can affect the
profit of an enterprise to a great extent. Logistics helps in maintaining inventory at
the lowest level, and thus achieving the customer goal. This is done through small,
but frequent supplies.
Economy of freight: Freight is a major source of cost in logistics. This can be reduced
by following measures like selecting the proper mode of transport, consolidation of
freight, route planning, long distance shipments etc.
Reliability and consistency in delivery performance: Material required by the
customer must be delivered on time, not ahead of the schedule or behind the
schedule.
Minimum damage to products.
Quicker and faster response.

Functions of logistics
Order Processing: It involves steps like checking the order for any deviations in theagreed or negotiated terms, price, payment and delivery terms, checking if the materiais available in stock, producing and scheduling the material for shortages, and alsogiving acknowledgement to the owner, by indicating any deviations.
Inventory Planning and management: Activities like inventory forecasting, engineeringthe order quantity, optimization the level of service, proper deployment of inventory etc.are involved in this.
Warehousing: This serves as the place where the finished goods are stored before theyare sold to the customers finally. This is a major cost center and improper warehousemanagement will create a host of problems.
Transportation: Helps in physical movement of the goods to the customers place. This isdone through various modes like rail, road, air, sea etc.
Packaging: A critical element in the physical distribution of the product, which alsoinfluences the efficiency of the logistical system.

Elements of logistics management
Selecting appropriate vendors with the ability toprovide transportation facilities
Choosing the most effective routes for transportation
Discovering the most competent delivery method Using software and IT resources to proficiently handle
related processes

In logistics management, unwise decisions create multiple issues. For
example, deliveries that fail or are delayed lead to buyerdissatisfaction. Damage of goods, due to careless transportation, isanother potential issue. Poor logistics planning gradually increasesexpenses, and issues may arise from the implementation of ineffectivelogistics software. Most of these problems occur due to improperdecisions related to outsourcing, such as selecting the wrong vendoror carrying out delivery tasks without sufficient resources.
To resolve these issues, organizations should implement best logisticmanagement practices. Companies should focus on collaboration ratherthan competition. Good collaboration among transportation providers,buyers and vendors helps reduce expenses. Also, an efficient and safetransportation provider is vital to business success.

Stocks logistics
Stocks logistics is provided through inventory management system. Animportant aspect of the logistics system functioning is to support the amount
of inventories at a level, which helps to ensure uninterrupted supply ofnecessary material resources to all departments with compliance withrequirements of the economy of process of moving of the material flow. Thesolution to this problem is achieved by means of forming inventorymanagement system.

Stocks logistics
Inventory management system is a set of rules and parameters that define
the time and volume of purchases of products for restocking. In logistics, thefollowing basic inventory management system are used:1. The inventory management system with fixed size of the order.2. Inventory management system with fixed frequency of order.3. The system with fixed periodicity of restocking to a set level.4. The "minimum - maximum" system.

Transport logistics
Transportation tasks are solved by linear programming through the followingparameters:
minimizing the cost of transportation of goods from points of production topoints of trade;
minimizing the length of the route during transportation from one supplier toseveral customers (circular transportation of goods between trading units);
minimizing timing of transportation of goods from points of production topoints of trade.

Procurement logistics
Key questions, which should be answeredin the process of providing the enterprisewith items of work, are traditional andidentified by logic of supply:
what should be purchased;
how it should be purchased;
where it should be purchased;
on what terms it should be purchased.
Logistics adds its own questionstraditional list of questions:
how systematically to linkprocurement with productiosales;

Production logistics
We can distinguish three levels of objectives, which helps to create optimal logistics
production system:
The task of the first level is minimizing production costs, ensuring an uninterrupted
loading of workers and workplaces and uninterrupted moving of items of work in
production. The objectives of the second level are the improving the organization of production
processes, implementation of basic principles of production organization.
The tasks of the third level is to guarantee of efficiency of the production system in a
given range of qualitative and quantitative indicators, to provide a full cycle of
management in its interconnections, i.e. providing of forecasting, valuation,
planning, organization, accounting, control, analysis, coordination, regulation,
promotion.

Logistics of warehousing
Conventionally logistics process in warehouses can be divided into three components:
1. operations aimed at coordination of work with procurement service;
2. operations directly related to cargo handling and clearance of documents
(unloading, inner warehouse transportation, warehousing, kitting of orders,
transportation and forwarding of orders, collection and delivery of empty goods
mediums, informational service of warehouse);
3. operations aimed at coordination of work with sales service.
7/21/2019 Basic concepts and tasks of logistics in enterprise

Information logistics
Information logistics organizes data flow, which accompanies the material flow and it i
an essential element for the enterprise, which connects the supply, production and
sales.
The main objective of informational logistics is to create optimal logistics informationsystems and their practical implementation with taking into account the characteristic
of the supply, production and distribution of specifically identified companies by using
modeling techniques.
It is important for commercial enterprise to have information for forecasting inventory
levels, because increasing of inventory amount leads to increasing of costs on storage
of goods.

Fixed machinery Automated cranes (also called automated storage and retrieval systems): prov
ability to input and store a container of goods for later retrieval.
Conveyors: automated conveyors allow the input of containers in one area of t
warehouse, and either through hard coded rules or data input allow destinatio
The container will later appear at the selected destination.
Sortation, or sorting systems: similar to conveyors but typically have higher capa
divert containers more quickly. Typically used to distribute high volumes of smal
large set of locations.
Industrial robots: four to six axis industrial robots are used for packaging, commis
order picking etc..
Typically all of these will automatically identify and track containers based upo
or increasingly, RFID tags

Benefits of logistics automation
A logistics automation system may provide the following:
Automated goods in processes
Automated Goods Retrieval for Orders: On receipt of orders, the automation
system is able to immediately locate goods
Automated dispatch processing: Combining knowledge of all orders placed at
the warehouse the automation system can assign picked goods into dispatch
units and then into outbound loads. Sortation systems and conveyors can then
move these onto the outgoing trailers
If needed, repackaging to ensure proper protection for further distribution or to
change the package format for specific retailers/customers.
