LOGISTICS
Logistics refers to the arrangement of moving products and is thus closely tied to transportation. So, in a broad sense, logistics is the administration of moving things from one location to another.

This covers not just transportation, but also storage and transshipment, packing of commodities, and overall planning. Good logistics guarantees that things are moved from point A to point B as cheaply, swiftly, and safely as possible.
Logistics is also known as Supply Chain Management. As a result, it encompasses the complete organisation through which things move before reaching their final destination. The management process includes every step of the product's journey from the factory to the buyer.
Making the appropriate trade-offs is frequently at the heart of good logistics management. The most common trade-off, which every logistics planner is aware of, is the question: money or time? This means that it is frequently necessary to choose whether items should be carried from A to B faster or cheaper. Consider the difference between sea freight and air freight.
