2. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS?
Logistics and transportation are two very important parts of transportation
and distribution services, and they are different.
Transportation is the movement of goods and logistics is the management
of the inward and outward transportation of goods from the manufacturer
to the end user.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they are two extremely
different part of the supply chain.
Logistics and transportation deals with getting products and services from
one location to another.
3. Logistics
Logistics is obtaining, producing, and distributing materials and products
in the right qualities and to an end user.
Logistics includes the science of planning for managing and implementing
procedures for the most efficient and effective storage and transportation
of goods and services.
Services and other information from the source point to the consumer is
sent through logistics channels to meet and fulfill customer needs.
Logistics has added benefits and functions that are different from
transportation services. Logistics managers need to make decisions based
on packaging, containerization, documentation, and insurance, storage,
importing and exporting, regulations, and freight damage.
4. Transportation Services
Efficient transportation is important to the survival of a transportation and
distribution service. Efficient transportation should be analyzed for the
best delivery route, as well as cost-effective packaging that ensures low
investment and safety of goods.
Transportation services include the movement of goods and services,
people, and animals from one location to another by rail, road, air, sea,
cable, space, or pipeline. Transportation services can be divided into three
different areas: infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Transportation
allows communication and trade between the two parties.
