Business logistics

Definition

This discipline, which underpins any business process, was developed and started to be studied late, because its importance was not immediately understood. Therefore, even the definition is not easy to give to this discipline, when it comes to Business Logistics, there is always some confusion. At the moment, Business Logistics is gaining in importance, because the introduction of many concepts relating to the introduction of value creation, or even true global value chains. To date, however, it corresponds to the science that studies the management of all material and the corresponding flow of information, starting from suppliers and ending with the end consumer. Thus, all materials entering the warehouse, as input, to the output, as output. As already mentioned, in an international context such as the modern, contemporary one, business logistics is becoming increasingly important, but above all, in such a context, the flow of information and resources in and out, thus exchanged between the various companies or countries, is considerably greater. This is why, at this time, we have come to speak of Global Value Chains, real chains on a global scale. The management of such a process, i.e. the management of information and resources, is essential and vital for any business entity, because it guarantees organisation and solid structure. However, the term was coined around the mid-1900s and was mainly used for military procurement, but even in this context it referred to the flow of information and resources, in a certain sense. It was only later, however, that it also began to have significance in a climate of 'peace'.
