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.

...Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources, including energy and people, between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers (frequently, and originally, military organizations). Logistics involve the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material-handling, and packaging. Logistics is a channel of the supply chain which adds the value of time and place utility. Origins and definition The term "logistics" originates from the ancient Greek " " ("logos"—"ratio, λόγος 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 and supply distribution matters. The Oxford English dictionary defines logistics as: “The branch of military science having to do with procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities.”Another dictionary definition is: "The time related positioning of resources." As such, logistics is commonly seen as a branch of engineering which creates "people systems" rather than "machine systems".... Military logistics In military logistics, logistics officers manage how and when to move resources to the places they are needed...

...4PL logistics providers — Scaling up supply-chain efficiency |About 75 per cent of the Fortune 100 companies and about 45 per cent of Fortune 500 companies have now gone in for 4PLs. | The term "4PL" was actually coined by the consulting group Accenture. In fact, they also hold the trademark to the name 4PL. Accenture defines a 4PL in the following manner: "A 4PL is an integrator that assembles the resources, capabilities, and technology of its own organization and other organizations to design, build and run comprehensive supply chain solutions." The transport sector in India: Manufacturers do not seem to pay much attention to their transportation needs, relying on the conventional way of calling up truck operators and getting the best rate. Thus, the firms end up paying a lot of money on transportation simply because of poor planning on distribution. However, things are changing with the entry of foreign companies that, usually, have strong logistics support. This and the increasing realisation of the importance of timely delivery of materials and products are slowly changing the way companies are looking at logistics. In this context outsourcing of logistics makes a lot of sense for Indian firms not many of which have a professionally run logistics division, feel logistics experts. This will free companies from the worry of getting materials on time or distributing their products within and outside the country. According to global consultancy...

...COLUMN Growing importance of reverse logistics Prof Samir K Srivastava Reverse logistics is the process of moving a product from the consumer to the manufacturer, or any other stage in the supply chain, for re-use or proper disposal. It has grown in importance due to many reasons. One of the most prominent reasons is the growing concern for the environment. Consumer demand for clean manufacturing and recycling is increasing, many times leading to legislation as well. Consumers expect to trade in an old product when they buy a new one. Cost is another reason. Research shows that reverse logistics may be a worthwhile proposition even in the contexts where regulatory and consumer pressures are insignificant. It is becoming vital as service management activities and take-back for products such as automobiles, refrigerators and other white goods, cellular handsets, apparels, lead-acid batteries, furniture, televisions, computer peripherals, personal computers, laptops, etc. are on the increase. Advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their utility in supporting related data collection, transmission and processing have given it further fillip. Aftermarkets, product recalls and collection of post-consumer goods by various supply chain stakeholders is gaining interest worldwide. Establishing a well-managed reverse logistics system can be a value-adding proposition for organisations and supply chains. It can not only...

PUNE 2-4 December 2009: As delegates assembled in Pune, India’s car sales figures for November were released – and they made startling reading. Growth is back in India: market leader Maruti Suzuki saw sales jump 60% over the same month in 2008 (though only 17% up on 2007); Tata Fiat was up 55%; Hyundai up 93%; GM up 65%; and Mahindra more than doubled at 102%. The figures confirm that late 2008 was just a brief pause in the upward trajectory of car production and sales. But logistics is groaning under the strain. Both speakers and delegates lamented the low cost/low investment logistics model which exists in the automotive sector in India. OEMs called for a significant increase in the low level of involvement from sophisticated 3PLs.
