INTRODUCTION
LOGISTICS Meaning:
The expression "logistics" starts from the old Greek "Zyo" ("logos"
"proportion, word, computation, reason, discourse, speech"). Logistics is

position. In old Greek, Roman and Byzantine realms, there were military

dispersion of supplies.

transportation, inventory, warehousing, material taking care of, and bundling.
LOGISTICS Management:

most part because of the expanding multifaceted nature of supplying one's

store network, calling for specialists in the field who are called Supply Chain
Logisticians. This can be characterized as having the right thing in the right
amount at the perfect time at the ideal spot at the right cost and to the right
target clients (consumer); and it is the exploration of procedure having its
vicinity in all areas of the business. The objective of logistics work is to deal
with the fulfillment of venture life cycles, supply chains and resultant
efficiencies. Logistics is Concerned with getting (or transmitting) the items and
administrations where they are required or when they are wanted. It is hard to

Item Movement:
Item Storage:
RAIL NETWORK
Following time long past times, railways have taken care of the biggest
number of ton - miles. As an aftereffect of the early foundation of a complete
rail system interfacing every one of the urban communities and towns,
railroads ruled the intercity cargo tonnage till World War II and sometimes of
Europe, Asia and Africa they even associated the nations. This early
prevalence empowered railroads over transport extensive shipments
financially.
Engine CARRIERS
Expressway transportation has expanded quickly since the end of Wor ld War
II. This is on the grounds that Motor transporter industry results from way to-
entryway working adaptability and velocity of intercity development. They
are even adaptable in light of the fact that they can work on every last sort
of roadways. In correlation to railways, engine carrie rs have generally little
altered interests in terminal offices and work on openly looked after
interstates. Despite the fact that the expense of permit charges, client
charges, and tolls are impressive, these costs are straightforwardly identified
with the quantity of over - the-street units and miles worked. The variable
expense per mile for engine transporters is high in light of the fact that a
different force unit and driver are required for every trailer or blend of
coupled trailers. Work prerequisites are additionally high in light of driver
wellbeing limitations and the requirement for significant dock work. Engine
transporters are most appropriate to handle little shipments moving short
separations.
WATER TRANSPORT
AIR TRANSPORT
Air transport is the freshest and the slightest used method of transport. Its
significant favorable position being its rate, which is joined by high expenses.
An across the nation shipment through air requires just a couple of hours
complexity to days taken by other mean of transportation. The high cost of
transport can be exchanged off for rapid, which permits different
components of logistical configuration, for example, warehousing, stock to be
lessened or wiped out. Yet air transport stays even more a potential open
door than a reality since it is all that much underutilized.
The high cost of plane flying machine, combined with unpredictable nature of
cargo interest, has constrained the task of devoted planes to all - cargo
operations. However premium bearers give planes devoted to cargo
operations. This premium administration began off with records and has
moved onto huge packages, which is a perfect administration for firms with
countless quality items and time-touchy administration necessities.
