TALLER
Talking about Logistics, workshop
Logistics can be defined as the management of the flow of goods, information and
other resources, energy and people between the point of origin and the point of
consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers. Logistics involves the
integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling,
packaging and security. Logistics may have an internal focus (inbound logistics), or
external focus (outbound logistics). If the company manufactures a product from
parts purchased
from suppliers, and those products are then sold to customers, one can speak about
a supply chain. Supply Chain can be defined as a network of facilities and distribution
options that performs the function of procurement of materials, transformation of
these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these
finished products to customers.
Describe what service providers do in order to increase efficiency of the supply chain
They jointly explore the opportunities for increasing efficiency of the supply chain and
improving service levels by using the latest sysyems and techniques. This approach is also
referred to as logistics re-engineering.
The re-engineering process considers the following factors:the nature of the product, the
optimal or preferred location of source or manufacture, freight and transport costs and the
destination market, seasonal trends, import and export regulations, customs duties and taxes,
etc.
Logisticians are responsible for the life cycle and supply chain operations of a variety
of products. They are also responsible for customs ocumentation. The regulary work
with other departments to ensure that the customers needs and requirements are
met.

To implement a plan that will successfully optimize your logistics operations, consider
strategies that minimize costs, fully utilize production capacity, and improve the overall
quality of customer experience.
Consider these four methods to increase logistics efficiency:
Optimize transportation. The rising cost of transportation accounts for increased prices
in virtually every industry. To reduce transportation costs, companies should examine
every factor that might increase or decrease expenses.
1. This starts with the design of products and packaging for optimal size and weight.
2. Proper load and delivery route planning ensures trucks are always carrying full
loads.
3. Finally, identify and utilize the most cost-effective packaging and shipping
methods for products.
Encourage feedback. The success of a company depends on input from all of its
employees or teams, regardless of their role in the logistics process. Carefully consider
feedback and suggestions from staff concerning practices that could further improve
logistics efficiency.
While logistics management is a complex process, utilizing the above strategies can
help you make the most of all warehousing, staffing, transportation, and communication
resources. The improvement of logistics planning will inevitably lead to higher
productivity, happier customers, and a more profitable company. (Diversified Distribution
