Types of logistics

1
Types
There are many types of
logistics. The most well known
type is sales logistics that
moves products from the
producer to the consumer.

Logistics Fields
Logistics can be split into five types by field: procurement
logistics, production logistics, sales logistics, recovery
logistics, and recycling logistics. Each of these is explained
in detail, but first we should learn about logistics fields and
types. For recovery logistics and recycling logistics, both
types are the same up to the recovery of goods from
consumers, but recycling logistics is the type that recycles
the goods that are collected.

Procurement Logistics: Procuring
Raw Materials and Parts
Procurement logistics is the flow of
goods when the raw materials and parts
necessary for manufacturing are
procured from suppliers.

4
Production Logistics: Materials Management,
Distribution in Factories, Product Management,
Shipping
Production logistics is the flow of goods that includes the
management of procured parts and materials, distribution inside a
factory, product management, packaging, and shipping to
warehouse. Delivery management, warehouse dispatch
management, and shipping management can be optimized and the
state of delivery vehicles can be managed by smoothly linking
procurement logistics and sales logistics described later.

5
Sales Logistics: Delivery from Warehouse to
Wholesalers, Retailers, and Consumers
Logistics typically refers to sales logistics. In the past this
was mainly delivery from delivery centers and logistics
warehouses to distribution points such as wholesalers and
retailers. But now direct delivery also makes up a large
amount of this volume due to online shopping and e-
commerce. Whether delivery through delivery centers and
logistics warehouses or direct delivery from production sites,
higher efficiency in transportation and delivery and shrinking
inventory are indispensable for delivering the necessary goods
to the necessary people in the necessary quantities at the
necessary time. This also contributes to improving customer
satisfaction.
