LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT - DEFINITION 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 involves the integration of information, transportation , inventory , warehousing , material-handling, and packaging , and occasionally security . Logistics is a channel of the supply chain which adds the value of time and place utility.
8. LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT ORIGIN The term "logistics" originates from the ancient Greek " 了粒凌 " (" 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 and supply distribution matters.
9. LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT ORIGIN 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. "
