What is logistics? Logistics means having the right thing, at the right place, at the right time.. Logistics - (business definition) Logistics is defined as a business planning framework for the management of material, service, information and capital flows. It includes the increasingly complex information, communication and control systems required in today's business environment.
In the war theater, logistics applied to the process of supplying equipment and supplies to troops. Logistics as a business concept evolved in the 1950s with the increasing complexity of supplying businesses with materials and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain. It consists of activities such as market research, requirements planning, make or buy decisions, supplier management, ordering, and order controlling. 2  Production Logistics concerns itself with streamlining and controlling the flow through the supply chain from point of entry to the end, which is distribution logistics.
