•
• Production Logistics encompasses the planning, control and monitoring of material and
corresponding information flow from supplier to different production levels to finished
goods storage
• Main Tasks of Production Logistics:
1. Material flow-oriented layout: How logistics and production facilities ordered
within a factory

• Decisions Horizons in Manufacturing Systems

facility for years

• Material Flow Problem: Type of material handling system and configuration of material
handling system. The decision variables are:
1. Travel aisle layout
2. Number of pickup and delivery locations
3. Pattern of material flow (unidirectional, bidirectional or combinations)
4. Number of vehicles required
5. Routes used by vehicles during specific operations
