Introduction to Logistics and
Supply Chain
PETER DRUCKERS stated
that:
Logistics is one of the last frontiers of
opportunity for organizations wishing to
improve their corporate efficiency.

Logistics management is the process of
planning,
implementing and
controlling
the efficient, cost-effective forward and reverse flow of raw
materials, in-process inventory, finished goods, services,
and related information from point of origin to point of
consumption
for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements.

Logistics Is Relevant to All
Types of Organizations
 The definition of logistics includes the
flow of materials and services in both the
manufacturing and service sector.
 The service sector includes entities such
as the government, hospitals, banks,
retailers and wholesalers.
Definition of Logistics
Management
 Logistics has been called by many names including
the following:
– Materials management
– Physical distribution
– Business logistics
– Channel management
– Distribution
– Industrial logistics
– Logistical management
5.3 logistic & supply chain Management 2.pptx
System Approach/Integration
 Logistics is, in itself, a system; it is a network of
related activities with the purpose of managing
the orderly flow of goods, information and
service with the logistics channel.
 The systems approach simply states that all
functions or activities need to be understood in
terms of how they affect, and are affected by,
other elements and activities with which they
interact.
System must be viewed as a whole
Logistics and Supply Chain
Management Approach
Systems Approach
 The sum of a series of activities is greater
than its individual parts.
 Trade-off analysis-system should be
viewed as a whole.
High inventory- High customer service
High storage costs
High obsolescence risks
The Five Rights of Logistics
 Right Items, needed for consumption or
production,
 Right Place
 Right Time
 Right Condition
 Right Cost,
Logistics Adds Value by Creating
Utility
 FORM UTILITY is the process of creating the
good and service, or putting it in the proper form
for the customer to use. (from raw materials to
finished goods)
 POSSESSION UTILITY is the value added to a
product or service because the customer is able to
take actual possession. (by credit a arrangements,
loans...)
 TIME UTILITY is the value added by having an
item when it is needed.
 PLACE UTILITY means having the item or
service available where it is needed.
Logistics Supports Marketing
 According to Kotler and Armstrong;
– marketing management - determining the needs
and wants of target markets and delivering the
desired satisfactions more effectively and
efficiently than competitors
– Impact of marketing concept ----customer
orientation

Concepts
 Time and place utility –customer service
level –customer satisfaction
 Customer service is an output of the
logistics system
Competitive Advantage
 The source of competitive advantage is
found ;
– In the ability of the organization to differentiate
itself, in the eyes of the customer, from its
competitors,
– By operating at a lower cost and hence at
greater profit.
Christopher s.5
 It is only in the recent past that
business organizations have come to
recognize the vital impact that
logistics management can have in
the achievement of competitive
advantage.

The Outputs of the Logistics
System
The outputs of the logistics system are
competitive advantage,
time and
place utility,
efficient movement to the customer, and
providing a logistics service mix such that
logistics becomes a proprietary asset of the
organization.
SCM
 Supply Chain Management encompasses the planning
and management of all activities involved in sourcing
and procurement, conversion, and all logistics activities.
 Importantly, it also includes coordination and
collaboration with channel partners, which can be
suppliers, intermediaries, third-party service providers,
and customers.
 In essence, Supply Chain Management integrates
supply and demand management within and across
companies.
Competition
Today the real competition is
not company against
company but rather supply
chain against supply chain.

 Competitive pressures
 Information technology
 Channel power
 Profit leverage
Factors Impacting the
Development of Logistics
Throughout the history ; wars have
been won and lost through logistics
strengths and capabilities or the lack
of them.
1.Military Logistics
1.Military Logistics
 Following the World War II, logistics
began to receive increased recognition
and emphasis.
 In the Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991, the
ability to efficiently and effectively
distribute and store supplies and
personnel were key factors in the success
of the US Armed Force.
2.Deregulation
 Deregulation of the transportation industry in
the late 1970s and early 1980s gave
organizations many more options and
increased the competition within and between
transportation modes.
 Carriers become more creative, flexible,
customer-oriented, and comparative in order to
succeed.
 They can focus on negotiation of rates, terms,
and services, with their overall attention
directed toward getting the best transportation
buy.
3. Competitive Pressures
 Globalization and competition
 With rising interest rates and increasing energy
costs during the 1970s, logistics received more
attention as a cost driver-emphasis on cost
control
WHY?
 Local firms versus overseas competitors
 Increased offshore buying and selling
activities, more complex and more costly global
supply chains
4.Information Technology
 Information technology gave organizations the
ability to better monitor transactions intensive
activities such as ordering, movement of
goods...
 Computerized quantitative models for
controlling and optimization
 MRP,MRP II,DRP,DRP II,JIT link material
management from order processing to
inventory management, forecasting and
production.
5.Channel Power
 Shifting channel power from
manufacturers to retailers, wholesalers,
and distributors has also had a profound
impact on logistics.
 Lower brand loyalty decreases a
manufacturer’s power-increases
retailer’s power
6. Profit Leverage
 $1 saved in logistics costs has a much
greater impact on the organization’s
profitability than a $1 increase in sales.
 There are costs associated with sales
( cost of goods sold…) ] $ 1 increase in
sales does not result in $ 1 dolar increase
in profit

Key Logistics Activities
CUSTOMER SERVICE
 Good customer service supports customer satisfaction.
 Customer service is the output of the logistics system.
 It involves getting the right product, to the right
customer at the right place, in the right condition, at the
right time and at the lowest total cost possible.
 The key trade off of customer service: cost of lost sales
 Dissatisfied customer tells to average of nine others
DEMAND FORECASTING
 There are many types of demand forecasting
such as;
– marketing forecasts customer demand based on
promotions, pricing, competition and etc. or
– manufacturing forecasts production requirements
based on marketing sales demand forecasts and current
inventory levels.
 Logistics usually becomes involved in
forecasting in terms of how much should be
ordered from its suppliers and how much of
finished product should be transported or held
in each market that the organization serves.
INVENTORY
MANAGEMENT
 Inventory management involves ; trading
off the level of inventory held to achieve
high customer service levels with the cost
of holding inventory, including capital
tied up in inventory, variable storage
costs and obsolescence.
LOGISTICS
COMMUNICATIONS
 Communications are becoming increasingly
automated, complex and rapid.
 Computerized advance communication
systems
 Wal-Mart ( supplier link-real time demand
data-on time replenishment)
MATERIALS HANDLING
 Materials handling is a broad area that
encompasses virtually all aspects of all
movements of raw materials, work in
process, or finished goods within a plant
or warehouse.
 A primary objective of materials
management is to eliminate handling
wherever possible-min. travel distance,
bottlenecks, inventory levels and loss.
ORDER PROCESSING
Order processing entails the systems
 getting orders from customers,
 checking on the status of orders
 communicating to customers about them,
 filling the order
 making it available to the customer.
Advanced order-processing methods ( EDI-
electronic data interchange, EFT-electronic
funds transfer, barcoding costs
PACKAGING
 For protection and storage from a
logistical perspective.
 Important for protection during storage
and transportaion
 Important to be designed for the
warehouse configuration and materials
handling equipment
PARTS AND SERVICE
SUPPORT
 Logistics is responsible for providing
after-sale service support.
 This may include:
– delivery of repair parts to dealers,
– stocking adequate spares,
– responding quickly to demand for repairs...
PLANT AND WAREHOUSE
SITE SELECTION
 Determining the location of the
company’s plants and warehouses is a
strategic decision
 affects the costs of transporting raw
materials inbound and finished goods
outbound, but also customer service
levels and speed of response.
PROCUREMENT
Procurement is the purchase of materials
and service from outside organizations to
support the firm’s operations from
production to marketing, sales, and
logistics.
Supplier selection, negotiation of price,
supplier quality assessment…
REVERSE LOGISTICS
 Reverse flow of goods, services and related information
because of recycling, reusing and disposal activities.
 Returns may take place because of a problem with the
performance of the item or simply because of the
customer changed his or her mind.
 Return goods handling is complex and costly.
 The cost of moving a product backward nearly as much
as nine times as high as moving the same product
forward.
TRAFFIC AND
TRANSPORTATION
 This is the key logistics activity actually provide for the
movement of materials and goods from point of origin
to point of consumption and (disposal as well)
 Selection of mode, routing the shipment, assuring of
compliance with regulations in the region of the
country where shipment is occuring, selection of the
carrier…
 Largest logistics cost
WAREHOUSING AND
STORAGE
Warehousing supports time and place
utility by allowing an item to be produced
and helps for later consumption.
Warehouse layout, design,ownership,
automation…
Logistics activity is literally thousands of
years old, dating back to the earliest
forms of organized trade.
As an area of study however, it first began to
gain attention in the early 1900s
-in the distribution of farm products,
-as a way to support the organization’s
business strategy,
-and as a way of providing time and place
utility.
Development of Logistics
6 Eras
 Era 1: Farm to market ( early 1900s)
( 1916-1940)
Major influence- agricultural economies
distribution of farm products
transportation
 Era 2: Segmented functions (1940-1960)
Major influence-military with World War II
independent functions-institutional approach, inbound
outbound transportation, wholesaling, retailing,
physical distribution
 Era 3: Integrated functions ( early 1960s- early 1970s)
Major influence- industrial economies
Linking them together
Total cost approach
Systems approach
Integration of logistics
 Era 4: Customer focus (early 1970s-mid 1980)
Major influence: management science
Customer service
Inventory carrying
Productivity
 Era 5: Logistics as a differentiator ( mid 1980s-2000)
Major influence-IT, management strategy
globalization
reverse logistics
environment
integrated supply chain management
 Era 6: Behavioral and boundary spanning (2000 to )
Major influence: marketing, social sciences
behavioral aspects of interfirm relations
theory development
customer perceptions of logistics systems
TOTAL COST CONCEPT
 “The total cost concept” is the key to
effectively managing logistics processes.
 The goal of the organization should be to
reduce the total cost of logistics activities,
rather than focusing on each activity in
isolation.

 Inventory carrying costs: capital costs,
inventory service cost (insurance and taxes on
inventory), storage space costs, inventory risk
costs.
 Lot quantity costs: procurement and production
related costs varying with changes in order size
or frequency.
Order costs, setup costs, capacity lost, material
handling cost, price differentials due to buying
in different quantities
TRADE-OFF APPROACH
IN LOGISTICS
 Central goal of trade off in logistics is to maximize long
term profitability and the effective use of assets.
 Examining trade-offs among alternatives and costs,
thereby reducing the overall total cost of activites.
 Reduced transportation costs and longer transit times-
increased inventory and inventory carrying costs

JIT
 Just in time
 Aim to reduce waste and redundant inventory
by delivering products, components, materials
when they are needed.
 Needs close coordination
 Reduces inventory, increases customer service
level
 JIT in retail and grocery: QR and ECR
Quick response
 Began in apparel and textile industry
 Retail sector strategy
 Speeding inventory flows
 Mostly between manufacturer and retailer
 When fully implemented, QR applies JIT.
 Moving product fastly-cross docking rather
than warehousing, floor ready
merchandise( prehung and preticketed)
 Wide usage of IT ( EDI, POS, Barcodes, CAD,
CAM…)
Efficient Consumer Response
 Combining several logistics methods for improving the
competitiveness of the grocery industry by cutting
waste in SC
 Grocery industry’s answer to QR
 Wide implementation of EDI, POS(point of sale),
barcoding: paperless information flow
 Continuous replenishment
 Cooperative relation between manufacturer,
suppliers,distributors and customers
 Cross dock
 Moving away from deal mentality to cooperation
ECR
 % 41 of total chain reduction of
inventory
 speeds up cycle time from 104 days to 61
days
