Preface

Logistics refers to the complete planning, implementation, and management of raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products, or related information from the source of the product to the place of consumption of the product through transportation, storage, and distribution at the lowest cost in order to meet the needs of customers. Logistics is a system that controls raw materials, finished products, goods, and information. It is the physical movement from supply through the transfer and possession of various intermediate links to the end consumer, so as to achieve the clear objectives of the organization. Modern logistics is the product of economic globalization and also an important service industry to promote economic globalization. The modern logistics industry in the world is growing steadily. Europe, the United States and Japan have become important logistics bases in the world. With the continuous improvement of economic level, China's service industry and manufacturing industry have been developing rapidly. Under the current social background, the birth of the logistics industry has greatly promoted the development of the supply chain. In the supply chain system, the management of enterprise logistics is not just to continue the production process of the enterprise itself. More importantly, the good relationship between enterprises in the supply chain system can be adjusted through scientific and reasonable logistics management, and the operation efficiency of the supply chain system can be improved. Therefore, enterprises can adapt to market demands more quickly and improve their competitive strength in the market. It is very important to study the logistics management in the supply chain management environment. This book systematically introduces the theoretical knowledge of logistics system and supply chain, which lays a theoretical foundation for the integration of enterprise logistics management and supply chain. It hopes to be helpful to relevant staffs.
