Threats

 Involves planning, implementing & controlling the
physical flows of materials & final goods from points
of origin to points of use
 Management of the supplies and transport required
for an operation
 Physical Distribution starts at the factory. Managers
choose a set of warehouses (stocking points) and
transportation carriers that will deliver the goods to
final destinations in the desired time or at the lowest
total cost.
Market Logistics

 ILS include material management, material flow
systems, and physical distribution, aided by
Information Technology (IT).
 Third Party suppliers, such as FedEx Logistics
Services or Ryder Integrated Logistics, often
participate in designing or managing these systems.
Integrated Logistics Systems
 Many companies state their market-logistic objectives as
“getting the right goods to the right places at the right time for
the least cost”
 No system can simultaneously maximize customer service and
minimise distribution cost.
 Each possible market-logistics system will lead to the
following cost:
M= T + FW + VW + S
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 valuable warehouse cost of proposed system
S= total cost of lost sales
Market-Logistics Objectives
 The firm must make four major decisions about
its market logistics :
1. Order processing: How should orders be
handled?
2. Warehousing: Where should stocks be located?
3. Inventory: How much stock should be held?
4. Transportation: How should goods be shipped?
