In today's world, logistics is truly all around us, embedded in activities we regularly engage in, such as ordering food delivery or shopping online. However, despite its growing presence in our daily lives, many people may still wonder, "What exactly is logistics?" That's why CPLINTER, as a logistics service provider, wants to clarify this for everyone.

The Origin of the Word 'Logistics'

Logistics is a process within the supply chain, and the term refers to the movement of resources from one point to another, considering both costs and time to make the transportation process as efficient as possible. It is believed that the word "Logistics" comes from the French word "Logistique" (meaning "to store"), which appeared in the book by Baron Henri, a general of the French army during Napoleon's era in the late 19th century. It referred to the process of storing supplies, weapons, and soldiers for war. Another possibility is that the word "Logistics" originates from the Greek words "λόγος" (LOGOS), meaning "reason," and "λογιστικός" (LOYISTIKOSH), meaning "accountant" or "one responsible for counting."

Components of Logistics

To store and maintain raw materials and goods.

Packaging and Packing

Inventory Management

Managing the flow of goods, forecasting customer demand, and choosing the appropriate storage locations.

Transportation

Data Management

The Importance of Logistics

Logistics is a crucial part of nearly every business industry. In addition to designing and manufacturing products that appeal to target customers, ensuring the goods reach the customers on time is equally vital. If goods are damaged or delayed, it can certainly impact the company. Furthermore, efficient transportation and storage of raw materials can help reduce production costs or increase production capacity within the same time frame. Thus, effective logistics management directly influences a company's profitability.
