the efficient, effective forward and reverse
flow and storage of goods, services, and

origin and the point of consumption in order
to meet customers' requirements”

Logistics vs. Supply Chain Management
What is the difference?
A Supply chain is the network of:
facilities (warehouses, factories, terminals, ports,
stores, homes)
vehicles (trucks, trains, planes, ships)
logistics information systems
connecting suppliers’ suppliers with its customers’
customers.
Logistics is:
“what happens in the supply chain”
“putting the right material in the right place at the right
time“
it provides much of the Supply Chain’s value-added.

History of Logistics
Private industry starts evolving since the
1940’s.
Military were the only ones to using the term
(1950’s, 60’s)
No true concept of the term in the private
industry.
Companies had departments, such as
material housing, warehousing, machining,
etc.

13
Phases of Logistics Development
1. Workplace Logistics
Definition:
the flow of material at a single workstation.
Objective:
to streamline the movements of an individual
working at a machine or assembly line.
Origins:
Principles developed by fathers of Industrial
Engineering during and after WWII.
15
Phases of Logistics Development
2. Facility Logistics
Definition:
the flow of material between work stations
within the four walls of a facility
(interworkstation, intra facility).
Facility can be a factory, terminal, warehouse,
distribution center (DC).
Origins:
developed in mass production assembly lines
in 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s.

Phases of Logistics Development
3. Corporate Logistics
Definition:
the flow of material and information between
the facilities and processes of a corporation.
(inter workstation, inter-facility, intra-
corporate).
Objective:
Develop and maintain a profitable customer
service policy while maintaining and reducing
total logistics cost.

5. Global Logistics
Definition:
The flow of material, information, and
money between countries.
Connects suppliers’ suppliers with its
customers’ customers internationally.
Much more complicated than domestic
logistics given the many languages, laws,
currencies, time zones, cultures, etc.

What Activities take place in Logistics?
Activities
1. Customer Response
2. Inventory Planning &
Management (IP&M)
3. Supply
4. Transportation
5. Warehousing /
DC Operations
26
Logistics Activity Framework
27
Logistics Activities
1. Customer Response
Involves:
• Developing / Maintaining a Customer Service
Policy*
• Order Entry
• Order Processing
• Invoicing / Collections
• Monitoring Customer Satisfaction
(* the contract between the logistics organization and the customer,
defining service targets, such as fill rates, response times, min. order
quantities, terms and conditions for returns, etc.).
28

Logistics Activities
2. Inventory Planning &
Management
Goal:
determining / maintaining the lowest inventory
levels possible that will meet Customer Service
Policy requirements.
Involves:
Forecasting
Order Quantity Engineering
Replenishment planning
Inventory deployment 30
Logistics Activity Framework
31
Logistics Activities
3. Supply
Goal:
• Minimize total acquisition cost
(TAC) while meeting availability, response time
and quality requirements
Involves:
• Developing / Maintaining a Supplier Service Policy
• Sourcing (of supplies)
• Supplier integration
• Purchase Order processing
• Buying and Payment 32
Logistics Activity Framework

Logistics Activities
4. Transportation
Links sources of supply with customers.
Goal:
Link all pick-up and deliver-to points within the response
time requirements and transportation limitations at the
lowest possible cost.
Involves:
Network design & optimization
Shipment Management
Fleet and Container Management
Carrier Management
Freight Management 34

Logistics Activities
5. Warehousing (DC Operations)
Goal:

Logistics involves Optimization
Example
If we want to optimize CSP, we would address the
Total Logistics Costs
( = inventory cost + response time cost + lost sales cost)

Logistics Activity Profiling and Data Mining
Result:
Five basic sets of activity profiles
1. Customer Activity Profile (CAP)
43
Logistics Activity Profiles
Result:
Typically a profile will exist for the activity, the
item, and the activity-item pair (and many other
relevant ones).
Examples:
Customer Sales Activity Profile
Item Sales Activity Profile

Logistics Activity Profiling and Data Mining
What are Segments?
Segments are a type of classification system.
The more you know about your customers, the more likely
you will offer the right product’ at the right time and the
right place, and the right price.
Pareto Principle: 80% of your sales & profits come from
20% of your customers.
Create A, B, C, D segments
A: Customers deliver largest portion of revenue
B: Close second, followed by C and D.
Recognize each group’s characteristics. 47
Logistics Activity Profiling and Data Mining
Fine tune each Segment (A, B, C, D Customers)
How many products/services do they buy?
Purchase frequency?
Type of business?
Profitability of each transaction?
Payment promptness?
Cost of the service?
Referrals provided?
48
Logistics Activity Profiling and Data Mining
Once Segments are fine tuned & sub classified, plan
to promote customers from one category to the next highest:
49
Logistic Activity Profiles
What does each profile tell us?
1. Customer Activity Profile (CAP):
illustrates sales activity by customer and by item.
captured in terms of dollars, # of orders, # of order
lines, units, weight, cube, truckloads, pallets and
cases.
different items and customers create different
level / type of logistics
logistics strategy must reflect unique logistics
requirements of each customer – item
combination.
