Overview Of North American Logistics Company

By Claudine Hodges


Logistics is the activity that is intended to manage physical flows (as well as informative or financial data relating thereto) of an organization in order to provide matching resources to needs (more or less ) determined, and, following the anticipated economic conditions, the expected degree of quality of service, conditions of safety and security deemed satisfactory (North American logistics company).

Logistic as a discipline comes from the military science. This was mainly the effectiveness ie decisiveness central. Napoleon performed the function of "Marechal de Logis" field. This man was responsible for finding shelter for the troops. This word logistic emerged. It has nothing to do with logic or logic. When carrying out a military expedition, it is important that the front forces are timely provided with new ammunition, fresh rations, fuel, spare parts, and medical supplies.

In addition to packaging, processing of returned goods, negotiation or reuse of recoverable items or scrapped, the organization of transport and the actual carriage of goods, and warehousing and storage. While the adage stewardship follow often justified in post-war shortage economy the virtual absence of logistic concern, the increasing competitive pressure faced by contemporary markets (price competition but also non-price competition ) has greatly evolved.

Through this food problems, the Greeks were not enough people station making the decisive battle could not be done to Trojans. This war lasted ten years long. The Greek historian Thucydides (460 BC -. 400 BC.) Described this and realized the importance of presence or absence of good logistic preparation for war.

But there is also evidence that they have previously been realized the importance of good logistic. In epic of Homer are verses about the new shield. In it, the reliefs will be described. It's about a besieged city, whose inhabitants do a sortie on enemy camp. Instead they do attack the flock of sheep and cattle in field. Apparently the besieged by what was the significance of these herds. This was achieved not only by the besieged. The besiegers tried desperately to save their food supply, says Homer.

The first major military campaign in ancient times was during the Persian Wars. The Persian king Xerxes I pulled in year 480 BC. With probably 100,000 soldiers to several Greek cities. Due to size of the army was supplying only through the water, because it was much more difficult on road at that time.

Failing to encourage consumers and industry to reduce packaging quantities consumed and destroyed material "green taxes" have at least been able to contribute to financing of state intervention in favor of Ecology. Some universities and academic institutions train students to become logisticians, offering Bachelor, Master and PhD.

Generally, there are few data on military logistic in antiquity. Despite the great interest of ancient writers for the warfare and understanding of importance of logistic. Even in military manuals, written in ancient times that have been preserved is not covered by the logistic organization. Yet the stories of Roman and Greek historians may be partially made up the logistic was arranged. This was mainly mentioned where this had a decisive influence in a battle.
