Market logistics includes planning the infrastructure
to meet demand, then implementing and controlling
the physical flows of materials and final goods from
points of origin to points of use, to meet customer
requirements at a profit.

26. Market logistics planning has four steps
 Deciding on the company's value proposition to its customers. (What
on-time delivery standard should we offer? What levels should we
attain in ordering and billing accuracy?)
 Deciding on the best channel design and network strategy for reaching
the customers. (Should the company serve customers directly or
through intermediaries? What products should we source from which
manufacturing facilities? How many warehouses should we maintain
and where should we locate them?)
 Developing operational excellence in sales forecasting, warehouse
management, transportation management, and materials
management
 Implementing the solution with the best information systems,
equipment, policies, and procedures

27. Integrated Logistics Systems

28. Market-Logistics Objectives
 Means"getting the right goods to the right places at the right
time for the least cost.“
 Market-logistics costs interact and are often negatively
related. For example:
• The traffic manager favors rail shipment over air shipment
because rail costs less. However, because the railroads are
slower, rail shipment ties up working capital longer, delays
customer payment, and might cause customers to buy from
competitors who offer faster service.
• The shipping department uses cheap containers to minimize
shipping costs. Cheaper containers lead to a higher rate of
damaged goods and customer will.

29. Given the market-logistics objectives, the company must
design a system that will minimize the cost of achieving these
objectives.
Each possible market-logistics system will lead to the
following cost:
M= T+ FW+ VW+ 5
where,
M = total market-logistics cost of proposed system
T = total freight cost of proposed system
FW = total fixed warehouse cost of proposed system
VW= total variable warehouse costs
(including inventoly) of proposed system
5 = total cost of lost sales due to average
delivery delay under proposed system

30. Market-Logistics Decisions
The firm must make four major decisions about its
market logistics:
 How should we handle orders (order processing)?
 Where should we locate our stock (warehousing)?
 How much stock should we hold (inventory)?
 How should we ship goods (transportation)?
