Logistics is that part of the supply chain which plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customer and legal requirements. A professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician.

Logistics is the management of the flow of goods between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet the requirements of customers or corporations. Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and often security. Logistics is a channel of the supply chain which adds the value of time and place utility. Today the complexity of production logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized and optimized by plant simulation software, but is constantly changing

Procurement Logistics consists of activities such as market research, requirements planning, make or buy decisions, supplier management, ordering, and order controlling. The targets in procurement logistics might be contradictory - maximize the efficiency by concentrating on core competences, outsourcing while maintaining the autonomy of the company, and minimization of procurement costs while maximizing the security within the supply process.

Production Logistics connects procurement to distribution logistics. The main function of production logistics is to use the available production capacities to produce the products needed in distribution logistics. Production logistics activities are related to organizational concepts, layout planning, production planning, and control.

Distribution Logistics has, as main tasks, the delivery of the finished products to the customer. It consists of order processing, warehousing, and transportation. Distribution logistics is necessary because the time, place, and quantity of production differs with the time, place, and quantity of consumption.

Disposal Logistics' main function is to reduce logistics cost(s), enhance service(s), and save natural resources.

Transportation Logistics and warehousing transportation

Welcome to my blog!  fortunate to work in the industry of Logistics and Freight forwarding in Chennai, India for over 18 years. My blog shall cover major topics like Air Freight, Sea/Ocean Freight, Ware housing, Role of transportation in the industry, General Logistics Management and Customs House brokerage.

In today’s post I shall be discussing why the olden days of Freight Forwarder has gone to become a Freight Logistics Provider. They both have any difference? Oh Yes, in many ways. Freight forwarders were architects for different modes of transports. They would typically embrace the “do it all by yourself” attitude. In this process they would lose focus on their core competency of providing uncompromising forwarding service to the clients. On the other hand a Freight Logistics Provider would rather provide a range of value added logistics service by collaborating with multiple agencies that are typically masters in their field. They would enable and use the power of Information Technology to provide information that is critical to the clients in knowing the status of their cargo. For this modern communication techniques like SMS and email are used in their quest to keep the clients informed.

By saying “collaborating with multiple agencies….”, do I mean that we need to outsource certain functions in the process. Yes, indeed. Why should one outsource? Outsourcing comes with a huge advantage of utilizing other professional expertise at a fraction of cost that one might otherwise spend to acquire that expertise. It is as simple as that. If I am good in Forwarding, then I would rather tie-up with professional warehousing companies, transportation companies etc, and would manage the forwarding rather focused. That is the power of outsourcing.

Where there is a chance of doing freight forwarding on a truly global scale, one has to rely on other vendors in the other country for a better grip of the market and formalities / regularities specific to the country where the cargo is being forwarded.
