Unit 1 What Is the Logistics? Passage B Business Logistics Logistics as a business concept evolved in the 1950s. Business logistics can be defined as“having the right item in the right quantity at the right time at the right place for the right price in the right condition to the right customer”, and is the science of process. The main functions of a qualified logistician include inventory management, purchasing, transportation, warehousing, consultation and the organizing and planning of these activities. Logisticians combine a professional knowledge of each of these functions to coordinate resources in an organization. There are two fundamentally different forms of logistics: one optimizes a steady flow of material; the other coordinates a sequence of resources to carry out some project. Production logistics The term production logistics is used to describe logistic processes within an industry. The purpose of production logistics is to ensure that each machine and workstation is being fed with the right product in the right quantity and quality at the right time. The concern is not the transportation itself, but to streamline and control the flow through value-adding processes and eliminate non-value-adding

Unit 1 What Is the Logistics? ones. Production logistics can be applied to existing as well as new plants. Manufacturing in an existing plant is a constantly changing process. Production logistics provides the means to achieve customer response and capital efficiency. Warehouse management systems and warehouse control systems Although there is some functionality overlap, the differences between warehouse management systems (WMS) and warehouse control systems (WCS) can be significant. A WMS plans a weekly activity forecast based on such factors as statistics and trends, whereas a WCS acts like a floor supervisor, working in real time to get the job done by the most effective means. For instance, a WMS can tell the system it is going to need five of stock-keeping unit (SKU) A and five of SKU B hours in advance, but by the time it acts, other considerations may have come into play. A WCS can prevent that problem by working in real time and adapting to the situation by making a last-minute decision based on current activity and operational status. Working synergistically, WMS and WCS can resolve these issues
