Logistics is considered the “lifeblood” of the supply chain, this is a complex network of many activities carried out according to strict procedures to ensure the safe and scheduled transportation and storage of goods from suppliers to end customers on a global scale. <\/strong>Logistics activities take place effectively to help the supply chain maintain continuity and without interruption. This provides opportunities to optimize costs and increase efficiency in the supply chain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see the complexity in the Logistics network, first let’s join\u00a0the Faculty of Logistics – International Trade<\/a>\u00a0to learn about the flow chart of goods moving in the supply chain and the Logistics activities that will be carried out at each point where goods arrive. turns over.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flow of goods in the supply chain<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The flow of goods in a supply chain is the circulation of products, materials and services from suppliers to final consumers. The goods flow includes activities from raw material procurement, production, storage, packaging, and distribution to customers. Merchandise flows can be organized in many different models, depending on business strategy, customer needs and the nature of the product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From understanding the flow of goods, businesses can identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies and areas for improvement in their supply chain operations. This can help reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flow of goods in a supply chain can be expressed through the following 6 basic steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Receiving from Supplier<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Custom Clearance<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Domestic Transportation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Manufacturing <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Storage <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Distribution<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. Receiving from supplier<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The flow of goods begins with the transportation of materials from suppliers to storage. Raw materials used for the manufacturing process may be imported or used domestically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Customs Clearance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If raw materials are imported, in order to cross the border, the goods need to go through the customs clearance process. Customs clearance services help ensure that goods are handled properly and comply with relevant import\/export taxes and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Domestic Transportation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Raw materials will be transported to the raw materials warehouse to prepare for the production process. Transportation options include road, rail, or sea, depending on distance and type of goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Manufacturing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Next, the raw materials will be transported from the warehouse to the factory or production facility. Here, the raw materials or different components are converted into the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Before being shipped to the final customer, the goods will be stored in the finished goods warehouse. Storage plays an important role in preserving and controlling inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. Distribution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, once the goods have been produced, stored and transported domestically, they are delivered to the final customer in two main ways: directly to the customer or through a distributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Managing the flow of goods across a supply chain is an exciting and important challenge. For each step in this process, accuracy, efficiency and information management play a key role to ensure that the final goods reach the customer with the best quality and shortest delivery times. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5 Main activities in Logistics\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Logistics is composed of many different activities, at each point where goods move through, corresponding Logistics activities will take place. In this article, the Faculty of Logistics – International Trade<\/a> will divide Logistics into 5 main activity groups, including: Warehouse, Distribution Transport, Value Added Services, Customs Services, After Sales Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All of these services work together to create a seamless and efficient flow of goods throughout the supply chain. More than anyone else, personnel and managers need to thoroughly understand the overall picture of Logistics services and the connection between these services to ensure the Logistics process takes place effectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Each service segment will be responsible for implementing and managing corresponding activities,\u00a0the Faculty of Logistics – International Trade<\/a>\u00a0will mention in detail through the content below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
