Logistics Course In this course we examine logistics. Logistics is concerned with managing the flow of materials through an organisation to the customer. It is concerned with making things happen. It organises inputs (receipts from suppliers), supplies the transformation process (work in progress) & is finally responsible for delivering the output (finished goods) to the customer. Increasingly, organisations are looking at their products or services as part of a chain or network. They are looking at what they produce & trying to optimise the value of all the inputs from all sources - that is, all the suppliers in the chain of supply. This is called supply chain management. This closer linking between customer & supplier organisations obviously needs much closer integration, & organisations are sharing much more information to achieve this. This involves utilising information technology for sharing data about stock levels, demand & trends.
