Logistics is the flow of material, information, and money between consumers and suppliers. Accordingly, there is physical logistics, digital logistics, and fiscal logistics.The supply chain for a given enterprise is the set of enterprises, systems, facilities, vehicles, and transportation infrastructure connecting the suppliers’ suppliers to the customers’ customers for that specific enterprise.To use a sports analogy, the supply chain is the stadium and logistics is the game!Supply chain flow is optimized when material, information, and money flow simultaneously, in real time, and without paper.5
Supply chain logistics is a field full of difficult and complex tradeoffs. The root word for logistics is logic, meaning based on facts, clear rational thought, and sensible reasoning. The root word for “logic” is “logos”, meaning Word, divine reasoning, or wisdom from God.Optimization is the process identifying an objective function, constraints, and the solution that satisfies the constraints and objective function.The RIGHT answer for each supply chain logistics tradeoff we face will be found using data, optimization, logic, and logos.6
