    Integrated Logistics and Supply Chain Management

    In recent years, the heightened intensity of retail competition has drastically changed the way
    distribution companies operate their distribution systems. These changes include the application of
    the integrated logistics management concept to the analysis and design of their supply chains and,
    what is most important, extensive use of information technology to gain a competitive edge.

    Integration has been one of the dominant themes in the development of logistics management. This
    development began around 40 years ago with the integration at a local level of transport and
    warehousing operations into physical distribution systems. Today, many businesses are endeavoring
    to integrate supply networks that traverse the globe, comprise several tiers of supplier and
    distributor, and use different transport modes and carriers. The process of integration has
    transformed the way that companies manage the movement, storage, and handling of their
    products. Traditionally, these activities were regarded as basic operations subservient to the needs
    of other functions. Their integration into a logistical system has greatly enhanced their status and
    given them a new strategic importance.

    It is a technique which utilizes various sources and channels to meet the customer demand in

    After that the required resource that will be utilized for fulfilling the need are acquired. These
    resources range from human resource to technology, material, IT resources etc.

    After that all effort are made to meet the customer demand timely by the active participation
    of all the resources.

    It utilizes the various operations like transport, logistics, physical distribution, inventory
    management etc.

    materials, people, technologies and information necessary to meet those needs and wants;
    optimising the goods-or-service-producing a network to fulfil customer requests; and utilizing the
    network to fulfil customer request in a timely way.”

    System-wide management of entire logistics chain as a single entity, instead of separate


    management of individual logistical functions.

    Intergrated Logistics Supply Chain Management is primarily concerned with the efficient integration
    of suppliers, factories, warehouses and stores so that merchandise is produced and distributed in
    the right quantities, tothe right locations and at th e right time, and so as to minimize total system
    cost subject to satisfying service requirements
    Integrated logistics is a service-oriented process. It incorporates actions that help move the product
    from the raw material source to the final customer.
    A component of supply chain management:
     Inbound Logistics: the management of material movement and integration from component
    suppliers to a manufacturer/assembler.
     Outbound logistics: is the management of final products from a manufacturer/assembler to the
    distributors and retailers
     Manufacturing logistics
     Service logistics
