The term logistics remains an enigma, many people associate the term logistics with shipping. By definition logistics is the movement of goods or services from point A to point B however, the definition fails to add on all the other activities needed to facilitate such movement including custom clearance, drayage and final delivery to point BTo make matters more confusing, we have terms such as supply chain and procurement that are used in its place of logistics. Too set the record straight, logistics, shipping, transportation, etc. are part of the supply chain umbrella and then came the term “third party logistics” which people somehow associate with warehousing.
