Logistics is the movement of supplies, materials, and people from one place to another to satisfy corporate and consumer requirements. It includes inventory management, transportation, quality control, purchasing, operations management, and much more. The supply chain consists of the organizations, raw materials producers, factories, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers that process the flow of products to the customer. All companies rely on logistics professionals to keep their inventory moving. Logistics is critical to a healthy world economy, even when the world isn't in crisis.
