Origins

• logistics comes from the Greek logos (λόγος), meaning "speech, reason, ratio, rationality, language, phrase“.

• More specifically from the Greek word logistiki (λογιστική), meaning accounting &

financial organization

• originated in the military's need to supply themselves with arms, ammunition and rations as they moved from their base to a forward position.

• Oxford Dictionary defines logistics as "the branch of military science having to do with procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel and facilities."

• Other dictionary logistic is "the time-related positioning of

resources.“• logistics is commonly seen as a branch of

engineering that creates "people systems" rather than "machine systems".

Military logistics

• Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) is a discipline used in military industries to ensure an easily supportable system with a robust customer service (logistic) concept at the lowest cost and in line with (often high) reliability, availability, maintainability and other requirements as defined for the project.

• military logistics, logistics officers manage how and when to move resources to the places they are needed.

• maintaining one's supply line is a crucial.

Logistic management

Business logistic

• evolved in the 1950s due to the increasing complexity of supplying businesses with materials and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, leading to a call for experts called supply chain logisticians

• The goal of logistics work is to manage the fruition of project life cycle, supply chain and resultant efficiencies.

Third-party management

traditionally been performed within an organization itself

Warehouse management systems and warehouse control systems

• There are significant difference between warehouse management and warehouse control systems

• WMS plans a weekly activity forecast based on such factors as statistics and trends, whereas a WCS acts like a floor supervisor, working in real time to get the job done by the most effective means

• WMS can tell the system it is going to need five of stock-keeping unit(SKU) A and five of SKU B hours in advance, but by the time it acts, other considerations may have come into play or there could be a logjam on a conveyor

• A WCS can prevent that problem by working in real time and adapting to the situation by making a last-minute decision based on current activity and operational status

Production logistics

• describe logistic processes within an industry• Purpose-ensure that each machine and

workstation is being fed with the right product in the right quantity and quality at the right time

• can be applied to existing as well as new plants• becoming more important with decreasing

batch sizes
