Chapter 3 in Logistics, 2013, pp 19-35 from Springer

Abstract: Learning Objectives Logistics is characterized by thinking in processes, value chains, and networks. It includes parameters such as performance, quality, value, and cost. At the end of this chapter the reader will have gained an understanding of the basic components and organization variables of the logistics systems. Apart from the technical and economic aspects, which increasingly have an impact on the efficiency of the logistics systems, it is important to discuss the fundamentals and functions of a company’s internal and external logistics structures, and how the relationship with their agents is managed. In this way the reader will obtain information on competencies that goes beyond the scope of basic logistics knowledge.
