Logistics

Logistics is one of the fundamentals of opening up a company or running one. The movement of finished, semi-finished products or raw materials between warehouses, stores or factories are vital to any company. How are these things being moved?

By air? Rail? Road or Water transportation?

How would the delay of such logistics affect the running of the business. Would having customer service for customers and suppliers be an value added thing or just a nuisance to organise? What about inventory management? Should businesses constantly be on the verge of doing inventory check all the time? Is it another value added event for businesses?

What about Performance Measurement? Should companies always measure their performances of the business? Would that be of any help in order for a successful business? What if they need help? Would they consider on getting procurement or do outsourcing? Isnt that the same thing i just said?

Overall, what about the environment? What happens to the environment if people are not careful about what they use or produce? How would that help sustain life on Earth?!

All these questions for my exams. Am i able to answer them in time for the paper tmr?! It's 1.45pm now @ Melbourne & im blogging..
