A Guide to Logistics Management

A Guide to Logistics Management

by searchberg / Tuesday, 17 May 2022 / Published in Order fulfillment

Logistics management is the adhesive holding the entire product lifecycle together. It all comes down to efficiently organizing and implementing strategies. This helps fulfil customer expectations and ensures the smooth execution of business operations and processes.

In logistics management, goods ranging from tangible to edible items are managed. While doing so, logistics management deals with a wide range of information and other management tools. In addition, they also have to deal with material handling, product packaging, warehousing storage, transportation, and security.

The purpose of efficient logistics management is to handle resources and materials as they are manufactured into finished products and delivered to the customers. Customer satisfaction lies in faster and better service, so companies are partnering up with specialized third-party logistics companies to ensure customer satisfaction.

This blog will take you through the types of logistics management, the distribution network, and some useful tips for smart logistics management.

Types of Logistics Management

Supply Chain and Logistics Management

This type of logistics management mostly deals with planning, procuring, and coordinating the materials needed during different stages of the production process. This includes transportation and storage of the material as well. This ensures the needs and demands of customers are met without any delays.

Distribution and Material Handling

This type of management takes care of handling stored materials and delivering them where needed. The process involves material movement, including the loading, unloading, and transporting of goods from the warehouse to the stores or retail outlets that sell those products to the public. Plus, keeping track of inventory and its use also happens here.

Production Logistics Management

This handles using the right materials at the right time to complete a product. All the different stages of distributed materials are combined into one single product in this type.

Reverse Logistics

This is all about managing the returned materials from a production site or a retail store.
