Logistics management involves planning, implementing, and controlling the flow of materials and goods from the origin to the point of use. The objectives of logistics management are to have the right quality and quantity of products available at the right place and time at reduced costs. Logistics management applies to business, military operations, events, and services. It aims to optimize material flow through an organization to customers while reducing inventory, ensuring reliable delivery, minimizing freight and damage costs, and allowing quick response.

Warehouse Control System vs. Warehouse Management SystemAL Systems
http://www.alsystems.com/warehouse-control-system
There are several misconceptions about the functionalities and capabilities of a WAREHOUSE CONTROL SYSTEM as compared to a WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. A WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM is a planning system designed to manage movement and storage of materials within a warehouse and distribution center. Despite being an extremely valuable resource in warehousing and distribution operations, customizing a WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM to control warehouse automation and material handling subsystems can not only be very expensive and time consuming, but also jeopardize future WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM upgrades. To address this issue, many companies are now turning to the WAREHOUSE CONTROL SYSTEM.
A WAREHOUSE CONTROL SYSTEM, on the other hand, is an execution system designed to direct real-time activities within a warehouse and distribution center. A WAREHOUSE CONTROL SYSTEM provides a single point of connection between a WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, ERP and/or host system and the “shop floor”, ensuring all floor activities are running smoothly, maximizing the efficiency of operators as well as warehouse automation and material handling subsystems such as Pick to Light, Voice Picking, RF, Conveyor Systems, Sortation Systems, Automated Labeling Equipment etc.
The WAREHOUSE CONTROL SYSTEM landscape is changing rapidly, whereby the new breed of WAREHOUSE CONTROL SYSTEMS is equipped to handle most of the WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM functions and more, but at a much lower cost.
Today Logistics is more important in all Sector, Good logistics management helps enhance business' efficiency and effectiveness in logistics process and supply chain management. Good logistics management leads to reduction in time spent on completing each step of a manufacturing process with the help of information technology and communication system.
2. DEFINATION
• Planning implementing and controlling the physical flow of material and finished goods
from point of origin to point of use to meet customer`s need at a profit “Philip Kotler”
• It is essentially a planning process and an information activity
• So A integrative process that optimizes the flow of material and supplies through the
organization and its operations to the customer

4. Objectives of Logistics
Management
• To make available the right quantity of
right quality products at the right place
and time in right condition.
• To offer best service to consumers.
• To reduce the cost of operations.
• To maintain transparency in operations.
6. Scope of Logistic
• It is of critical importance to the organization how
it delivers products & services to the customer ,
whether the product is tangible or intangible.
• On the macro level infrastructure such as Various
modes of transport , transportation equip., storage
facilities, connectivity & information processing
are contributing to a large 3 extent in the physical
movement of goods produced in manufacturing ,
mining & agriculture Sectors.
7. Fact
• In a manufacturing org. the business process starts with the
flow of material from the suppliers, progress to the plant,
then to the customer through the distribution channel the
department may excel in their respective function but org.
as a whole their performance may be dismal.
• Reason
Lack of Co ordination in their activities
They have different goal
There is no single agency that coordinates their functions
and homogenizes them.
• How to overcome ?
• Use of Logistic as a system
8. system approach
• Logistic recognizes that all the activities of material
movement across the business process are interdependent
and needs close coordination and these are to be maintained
as a system and not the functional Silos.
• System is shown as logistic Mix including following
functional Areas
Order Processing
Information Flow
Warehousing
Inventory control
Packaging
Transportation
