    What is Shipping Logistics ?

    Shipping logistics management involves resource planning, organization, management of trailers across the carrier’s offices, execution, and control of the transportation of your shipped items. It is well known that the idea of logistics began in the military.

    Shipment means the product you want to ship AND Logistics means the process of shipping or moving your shipment from the point of origin to the point of destination. logistics is a part of the supply chain which already have a different kind of activities such as ordering, purchasing, forwarding, warehousing.

    Logistics refers to the overall process of managing how resources are acquired, stored, and transported to their final destination. Logistics management involves identifying prospective distributors and suppliers and determining their effectiveness and accessibility.

    A logistics system (LS) is a network of organizations, people, activities, information, and resources involved in the physical flow of products from supplier to customer. Distribution: The transportation of finished products from plants to a network of stocking locations (warehouses) and from there to end users.

    Logistics can be split into five types by field: procurement logistics, production logistics, sales logistics, recovery logistics, and recycling logistics. Each of these is explained in detail, but first we should learn about logistics fields and types.

    What is the difference between shipping and logistics then ?

    While the term ‘shipping‘ denotes the dates when the shipment leaves the warehouse of the supplier, the term ‘delivery‘ stands for the date when the package will arrive at the doorstep of the customer.  A major difference is the size of the shipment and the package

    What is the role of logistics ?

    Logistics actually has many roles. The most well known role of logistics is sales logistics that moves products from the producer to the consumer. In addition to sales logistics, logistics can also be split into four other roles depending on the field. These are procurement logistics, production logistics, recovery logistics, and recycling logistics.
    The roles of logistics feature transportation/delivery, storage, packaging, cargo handling, distribution processing, and information processing, and many systems have been put in place to deliver products from the production location or factory to the consumer quickly and on time.
