Logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements. The International Society of Logistics defines logistics as a professional discipline that ensures the successful support of the product throughout its life. From design engineering to manufacturing and materials, packaging and marketing, and distribution and disposition, logistics involves every possible phase of the product support process. The main goal of a logistician is to minimize both public and private operating costs and maximize productivity. Course provides an interdisciplinary overview of the academic theories, political-economic structures, industrial dynamics, public policies, and strategic issues concerning the study, business, and regulation of global trade, transportation, and logistics.
Our aim is to prepare students for professional carriers in business organizations and facilitate their growth as component future managers.
