It consists of transportation, inventory management, warehousing and storage, and packaging. PRODUCTION LOGISTICS Logistic processes within a company, usually a manufacturing business, that ensure that each machine and workstation in a plant has the right material in the right quantity and quality at the right point in time. PRODUCTION LOGISTICS Production logistics focuses on managing inventory and quality control, with little emphasis on transportation. BUSINESS LOGISTICS A process that ensures a steady flow of needed materials and information to all parts of a business through a network of computer terminals, transportation links, and storage facilities. FORWARD AND REVERSE LOGISTICS Most people only think about forward logistics (the steps involved in delivering products from producer to consumer). Increased online shopping and returns of unwanted products has introduced a whole new process called “reverse logistics”.
