What is logistics?
Logistics entails the organization, planning, control and execution of the flow of goods from the
development and purchasing, through manufacturing and distribution to the customer (end user), up to and
including the reverse flow. The aim is to meet market demand at lowest cost and best use of capital, and
building long-term relationships with customers
What is the origin of the word “logistics?”
Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply itself with arms, ammunition, and
rations as it moved from a base to a forward position.
Why do we have logistics?
How to manage logistics?
What is the difference between SCM / Logistics?

,Business logistics
All activities performed to control the incoming and outgoing flow of goods.
Material management
Concerns the planning and support of the flow of inbound goods up to delivery of the finished products.
Physical management
The flow of goods and accompanying (begeleidend) flow of data that starts at the end of the production
process and finishes with the consumer.
Distinguishing 4 subsystems within the material management system:
1. Purchasing, supply logistics, procurement.
2. Inventory control of raw materials, resources and semi-
finished products.
3. Production planning and managing the execution of plans
4. Materials handling

, - Investment in inventory refers to raw
materials and resources, semi-finished
products and work in progress
- Materials handling refers to the storage
and internal transport of raw materials
anders resources, semi-finished products
and work in progress
- Production planning and control
- Purchasing; commercial aspects of

Distinguishing 3 subsystems within the physical
distribution system:
1. Inventory control of finished products
2. Decisions regarding warehousing and depots
3. External transports

the capital tied up in present inventory.
- Transports cost refer to the external transport

depots of both manufacturer and distributor.
- Other; includes costs of administration.
Dividing material management into purchasing logistics and production logistics.
Purchasing logistics = supply logistics
Includes the control of the flow of goods and the accompanying flow of data from the suppliers of raw
materials and manufactures of semi-finished products to the star of the production process.
A distribution company also deals with purchasing products, in which case it concerns the supply of finished
products.4
Reverse logistics
The return flow of used products and
packaging materials.
