Logistics is generally the detailed
organization and implementation of ac complex operation. In a general business
sense, logistics is the management of the flow of things between the point of
origin and the point of consumption in order to meet requirements of customers
or corporations. The resources managed in logistics can include physical item
such as food, materials, animals, equipment, and liquids; as well as abstract
items, such as time and information. The logistics of physical item abstract
items such as time and information. The logistics of physical items usually
involves the integration of information flow, material handling, production,
packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security.
Logistics
management is the part of supply chain management that plans, implements, and
controls the efficient, effective forward, and reverse flow and storage of
goods, services, and related information between the point of origin and the
point of consumption in order to meet customer's requirements. The complexity
of logistics can be modelled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated
simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources is a common
motivation in all logistics fields. A professional working in the field of
logistics management is called a logistician.
Origins and Definition
The
Oxford English Dictionary defined logistics as "the branch of military
science relating to procuring, maintaining and transporting material, personnel
and facilities". However, the New Oxford American Dictionary defines
logistics as "detailed coordination of a complex operation involving many
people, facilities, or supplies," and the Oxford Dictionary on-line
defines it as "the detailed organization and the prevalent view is that
the term logistics comes from the late 19th century.
According to the
Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals Previously the council of
Logistics Management logistics is the process of planning, implementing and
controlling the efficient and effective transportation and storage of goods
including services and related information from the point of origin to the
point of consumption for the purpose of confirming to customer requirements and
includes inbound, outbound, internal and external movements.
Academics and
practitioners traditionally refer to the terms operations or production
management when referring to physical transformations taking place in the
single business location (factory, restaurant or even bank clerking) and
reserve the term logistics for activities related to distribution, that is,
moving products in the territory. Managing is a distribution center is seen,
therefore, as pertaining to the realm of logistics since, while in theory the
products made by a factory are ready for consumption, they still need to be
moved along the distribution network according to some logic, and the
distribution center aggregate and process orders coming from different areas of
the territory. From a modelling perspective, there are similarities between
operation management and logistics, and company's sometimes use hybrid
professionals, with for ex. "Director of Operations" or
"Logistics Officer" working on similar problems. Furthermore, they
terms supply chain management originally refers to, among other issues, having
an integrated vision in of both production and logistics from point of origin
to point of production. All these terms may suffer from semantic change as a
side effect of advertising.

EXPORT CONTAINER/CARGO-IN
IMPORT
Import is derived
from the conceptual meaning as the goods and services into the port of a
country. The buyer of such goods and services is referred to an
"importer" who is based in the country of import where the overseas
based seller is referred to as an "exporter". Thus an import is any
good or service brought in from one country to another country in legitimate
fashion, typically for use in trade. It is a good that is brought in from
another country for sale. Imported goods or services are provided to domestic
consumers by foreign producers. An import in the receiving country is an export
to the sending country. Imports, along with exports, form the basics of
international trade. Import of goods
normally requires involvement of the customs authorities in both the country of
import and the country of export and are often subject to import quotas,
tariffs and trade agreements. When the "imports" are the set of goods
and services imported, "Imports" also means the economic value of all
goods and services that are imported. The macroeconomic variable I usually
stands for the value of these imports over a given period of time, usually one
year.
