The document discusses logistics management, its historical roots, and its significance during World War II, emphasizing the responsibility of army logistics. It differentiates logistics management from supply chain management and outlines its functions, objectives, and types of services, ultimately focusing on the case study of Midwest Assembly and Manufacturing's issues with container management. Recommendations for improving logistics at MAAN include enhancing communication, supplier accountability, and implementing RFID technology for tracking containers.
Logistics Management
- 1. Logistics Management Presented By: Abdelrahman H. Ahmed, PhD Student Instructor: Prof. Dr. Serdar saydam
- 2. Origin of Logistics Used by Greek generals (Leon the Wise, Alexander the Great) in order to describe all the procedures for the army’s procurement on food, clothing, ammunition, etc. World War II was the major motivation of logistics to increase recognition and emphasis, following the clear importance of their contribution toward the Allied victory. Army Logistics Branch is responsible for: * Army Transportation * Supply of food, cloths & fuel *Supply of ammunitions
- 3. What is Business Logistics? The movement of materials, services, cash, and information in a supply chain.
- 5. What is Logistics Management ? “Effective & Efficient 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 at the lowest cost possible” {Council of Logistics Management}
- 7. Logistics Management vs. Supply Chain Management
- 8. Logistics Management vs. Supply Chain Management Logistics Management: an essential part of Supply chain management. In North America: Logistics is often associated with transportation or distribution only. In Europe: Logistics involves the entire supply chain
- 10. Types of Logistics Services Reverse Logistics 3-PL Logistics In-house Logistics
- 12. Transportation Transportation provides the flow of materials, products and persons between production facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, terminals and customer locations
- 13. Transportation Modes Air Sea Rail Road Pipelin e
- 14. Evaluating Shipping Alternatives Limited options due to the nature of product Limited options due the company business strategy Evaluation is needed when urgency is not a factor
- 15. Tracking Goods {RFID} “Radio Frequency Identification” A technology that uses waves to identify objects, such as goods in supply chain.

- 17. Managing Returnable Containers Logistics Physical and Information Flow Analysis A Case Study International Journal of Engineering Business Management, Vol. 3, No. 2 (2011) Reza A. Maleki & Jonathan Reimche {Midwest Assembly and Manufacturing} {MAAN}
- 18. Returnable Containers ? Containers owned by a company to transport purchased items and materials from suppliers, and deliver sold items and materials to consumers.
- 19. This Article is a result of a project conducted on behalf of: Midwest Assembly and Manufacturing MAAN
- 20. Company Overview MAAN is a component manufacturer. Its operations include Component manufacturing, Painting & Assembling products. MAAN operates on make – to – order basis and offers a wide range of options for its products. MAAN relies on a number of suppliers for components that are needed for the final assembly operations.
- 21. Problem Statement All containers are owned by MAAN and were designed by its engineered to hold particular parts and prevent damages. The containers are not used directly in the production process, but their absence due to delays of return or misdirection could slow or even halt the production process at MAAN. When a shortage of containers is noticed, new containers are manufactured to replace the ones that are lost or damaged
- 22. Problem Statement • Container Misdirection • Losing containers • Difficulty locating containers • Difficulty identifying containers • Poor communication • Poor tracking system • Production Disruption & • LOOSING CUSTOMERS Lack of proper logistic management at MAAN resulted in:
- 23. Methodology The authors used the case study approach of research Case study (or case report) is a descriptive, exploratory or explanatory analysis of a person, group or event. Case Study Methodology clarifies the differences between practice-oriented and theory-oriented research
- 24. Research Objectives Diagnose problems, weaknesses & loopholes of MAAN current logistics system. Develop a proposal to enable MAAN track and manage its returnable containers effectively and efficiently.
- 25. Research Tools Communication Feedback from Suppliers Survey Exploration of potential liability contracts Interviews Identification of tracking technologies. Experiment
- 26. Recommendations Improve the current communication and information flow Ensure suppliers liability Implement a tracking technology (RFID)
