Years 50’ e 60’
The sense of logistics
was limited to the
management of the
finished product.
The role of logistics
has remained
confined to the
garrison of specific
support activities
related to warehouse
management and
transport
Years 70’
They begin to make room
early forms of evolution
towards the management
of a structured set of
activities.
The companies seek
improvements in the
physical distribution
through rationalization
measures aimed at
optimizing the segments of
the distribution cycle
Years 80’
With the introduction of new
management logic, attention
shifts to the management of
materials and the "logistics of
materials' which goes to show
the government of all activities
aimed at ensuring the proper
acquisition, handling and
management of materials in
order to ensure constant and
timely supply to production.
Years 90’
It was born the concept of
"Integrated Logistics" the
meaning of which is
synthesized by the Council of
Logistics Management.
2000
STRATEGIC ROLE OF
LOGISTICS
The goal of logistics becomes to govern all phases of the
production process according to a systemic view in order
to generate economic value for companies (inter-network
and inter-company). This involves the transformation of
the logistics of set of operations to functional inter system
(CONCEPT OF NETWORK) that arises as a means of
achieving higher levels of performance.
