This document provides an overview of global logistics and supply chain management. It discusses key concepts like logistics management, global logistics, supply chain management, and the international supply chain. Logistics management involves scheduling materials, warehousing, inventory control, production scheduling, packaging, transportation and delivery. Global logistics designs and manages the flow of materials internationally. Major challenges in the international supply chain include long distances, demand variability, exchange rate fluctuations, and infrastructure differences across countries. Managing global logistics effectively requires considering aspects like sourcing, distribution, forecasting, purchasing and transportation across borders.
