Logistics is often defined as having the right quantity at the right time for the right price
and can be understood as the "Science of Process". Logistics incorporates all industry sectors, and manages the
completion of project life cycles, supply chains and efficient
transportation services from start to finish.
The concept of
Logistics evolved from the military's need to supply themselves 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
detailed coordination of a large and complex operation."
Logistics, as a concept in business, evolved around 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.
In Today's business, logistics may have either internal focus, or external focus covering the flow from originating supplier to end-user,
which is more popularly known as "supply chain management". The main functions of a logistics manager include purchasing, transport, warehousing, and the organizing and planning of these activities.
CDC Logistics managers combine a general knowledge of each of these functions so that there is a coordination of resources in
our organization.
