Logistics is a part of the supply chain management which

strategies, executes and manages the storage and flow of

products and goods between two points. The first point is the

origin of the goods or the place of storage/production and the

endpoint is the place where the products or goods are going

to be consumed according to the demands of the customers in

that specific area. Logistics includes activities like warehousing,

transportation, inventory management, order fulfillment, planning

demand and supply, packaging, assembling, scheduling the

delivery of packages, managing third-party logistics service

providers and customer service. Strategic planning and

execution of the plan are what logistics is entirely based on.

The other functions of demand and supply chain are highly

dependent on the accurate functioning of logistics. It helps in

managing and optimizing all these activities and keeps the chain

going.
