Logistics encompasses all areas of activity and business that have to do with the flow of goods. This ranges from purchasing/procurement and production to order picking, sorting and packaging, transportation and distribution, storage and, finally, disposal and recycling of goods. While the term logistics tends to represent the view within a company, the modern term supply chain management describes the management of the entire supply and value chain across several companies.
