...Introduction to Logistic industries Logistics is the management of the flow of resources, not only 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. Today the complexity of production logistics can be modeled, analyzed, visualized and optimized by plant simulation software, but is constantly changing. This can involve anything from consumer goods such as food, to IT materials, to aerospace and defense equipment Origins and definition The term logistics comes from the Greek logos meaning "speech, reason, ratio, rationality, language, phrase", and more specifically from the Greek word logistiki meaning accounting and financial organization Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires, military officers with the title Logistikas were responsible for financial and supply distribution matters. The Oxford English Dictionary defines logistics as "the branch of military science relating to procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities." However, the New Oxford American Dictionary defines logistics as "the detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many...

Alcoran, Rachelle Anne K. Aquino, Patricia Mae Ann E. AUGUST 2015 Part 1: Channels of Distributions Channels of Distribution Few producers sell their goods directly to final users. Instead, most use intermediaries to bring their products to market. According to Philip Kotler, distribution channel is a set of interdependent organizations that help make a product or service available for use or consumptions by consumer or business user. Here are some definitions from different websites: Goods and services often pass to consumers through multiple channels. While increasing the number of ways in which a consumer can find a good has the potential to increase sales, it also creates a complex system that can make distribution management difficult. In addition, the longer the distribution channel the less profit a product manufacturer might get from the sale. (Distribution Channel Definition| Investopedia http://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/distribution-channel.asp#ixzz3jhyoJ8Pg) The path through which goods and services travel from the vendor to the consumer or payments for those products travel...

...A REVIEW ON LOGISITCS SECTOR AND EXPEDITORS INC. A REVIEW ON LOGISTICS INDUSTRY INTRODUCTION: LOGISTICS: The detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many people, facilities, or supplies and also the organization of moving, housing, and supplying troops and equipment. The term "logistics" originates from the ancient Greek "λόγος" ("logos"—"ratio, word, calculation, reason, speech, oration"). Logistics is considered to have originated in the military's need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position. In ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine empires, there were military officers with the title ‘Logistikas’ who were responsible for financial management and distribution of supplies. The Oxford English dictionary defines logistics as: “The branch of military science having to do with procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities.”The American Council of Logistics Management defines logistics as “the process of planning, implementing and controlling the efficient and effective flow, and storage of goods, services and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.” SIGNIFICANCE OF LOGISTICS: Logistics management is that part of the supply chain which plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective, forward and backward (reverse)...

...Name: Iban; Surname: Ahmed Sundsvall, Sweden - 2012 Contents Abstract Key words Introduction Part 1. Different methods in article “Design and implementation of RFID based air-cargo monitoring system” Part 2. Different methods in article "RFID based model for an intelligent port" Abstract RFID systems, known to improve supply chains performances, are little implemented so far in industry, particularly in the field of transport, due to the high economic investment it requests in comparison to other existing solutions. However, their benefits may be theoretically proved by using a distributed simulation platform to support the design and test of any technical solution and organizational approach devoted to optimize RFID-based logistics systems. So one paper named: “Distributed simulation platform to design advanced RFID based freight transportation systems” deals with the development of this simulation platform, based on Generalized Discrete Event Specification (G-DEVS) models and HLA (High Level Architecture) standard. Another paper named: “Design and implementation of RFID based air-cargo monitoring system” deals with the design and implementation of radio-frequency identification (RFID) based cargo monitoring system which supports tracking and tracing in air-cargo operation....

A professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician. Logistics, as a business concept, evolved only in the 1950s. This was mainly due to the increasing complexity of supplying one's business with materials, and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, calling for experts in the field who are called Supply Chain Logisticians. This can be defined as having the right item in the right quantity at the right time at the right place for the right price and to the right target customers (consumer); and it is the science of process having its presence in all sectors of the industry. The goal of logistics work is to manage...

...Sarah Allmond, Kamal Assaf, Doug Bice, and Renee Burkart Dr. Mike Marzano Logistics Management February 21, 2013 Infrastructure in India India’s port, road, and rail networks need massive capital investment. The ports in India are operating beyond their intended capacity in spite of the construction of a number of new sites. Moreover, there are bottlenecks when clearing goods from customs: the time required to clear goods in India is twice that of South Korea and Thailand and three times that of the average for members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Since most ports are overstretched and the time taken to obtain customs clearance is quite long, companies in India hold large inventories. Poor road and rail networks exacerbate these problems. India is presently ranked 17th in the maritime nations of the world. About 95% by volume and 70% by value of the contry’s trade is carried on through meritime transport. The country’s coastline comprises 12 major ports (Chennai, Ennore, Haldia, Pradip, Kandla, Kochi, Kolkata, Marmagao, Mumbai, New Manglaore, Tuticorin and Visakhapatnam) and 187 minor and intermediate ports. FDI up to 100% under the automatic route is permitted in the construction and maintenance of prots and harbours, maritime transport services and internal waterways transport services. The department of Shipping is also planning to enact a Shipping Trade Practices Act, which is presently in the daraft stage. The government...
