PROCUREMENT LOGISTICS OPERATIONAL LOGISTICS DISTRIBUTION LOGISTICS Procurement logistics is the strategic management of acquiring and transporting raw materials, components, or finished goods from suppliers to a production facility or warehouse. It’s essentially the upstream portion of the supply chain. The goal of procurement logistics is to ensure that the right materials are available at the right time, in the right quantity, and at the right price. By optimising these processes, businesses can reduce costs, improve efficiency and enhance overall supply chain performance. Operational or production logistics is the strategic management of the flow of materials and resources within a production facility. It encompasses all activities related to the movement, storage and handling of materials, from raw materials to finished goods. The goal of production logistics is to create a smooth and efficient production process. By optimising material flow, reducing waste and improving productivity, companies can enhance their competitiveness and profitability. Distribution logistics is the final leg of the supply chain journey, focusing on moving products from the production facility to the end consumer. It involves the strategic planning and execution of activities to ensure goods reach their destination efficiently, cost-effectively and on time. The goal of distribution logistics is to maximise customer satisfaction while minimising costs. By optimising these processes, businesses can improve delivery times, reduce transportation expenses and enhance their overall supply chain performance.
