Logistics management is the planning, execution, and control of the movement and storage of goods, services, and related information across a supply chain. It coordinates transportation, warehousing, inventory, order fulfilment, and reverse flows to meet demand at minimal cost and time. Effective logistics management directly determines service levels, working-capital efficiency, and resilience.
