Logistics
The Lifeblood of Pakistan’s Economy
The original use of the word Logistics is military in nature, meaning the acquisition, storage and movement of personnel, equipment, and provisions. It has existed since time immemorial, but Napoleon Bonaparte reintroduced it by saying, ‘an army marches on its stomach’, clearly laying out the importance of logistics.
The modern connotation of the word logistics is the process of planning and executing efficient transportation and storage of goods from the point of origin to the point of consumption. The goal here is to meet customer requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Logistics refers to what happens within a company, including the purchase and delivery of raw materials, packaging, shipment, and transportation of goods to distributors.

Logistics refers to what happens within a company, including the purchase and delivery of raw materials, packaging, shipment, and transportation of goods to distributors.

- Transport of inbound goods
- Transport of outbound goods
- Management of fleets
- In-house warehouses
- Handling of materials
- Fulfillment of orders
- The management of inventories
- Planning for demand
Although many small businesses focus on the design and production of products and services to best meet customer needs, if those products cannot reach the customers, the business will fail. That’s the role that logistics play. But logistics also impact other aspects of a business. The more efficiently raw materials can be purchased, transported, and stored, the more profitable the business can be. Coordinating resources to allow for timely delivery and use of materials can make or break a company. And on the customer side, if products cannot be produced and shipped in a timely manner, customer satisfaction can decline, also negatively impacting a company’s profitability and long-term viability.
Modern life depends entirely on the use of finished goods. These products require raw material, delivery of which is the most important aspect of a logistics and distribution network. Further examples are petroleum products, cotton, and grains. Without this movement, a country will come to a standstill.
Modern consumers demand comfort and punctuality. Especially during the covid crisis, electronic retail has become the norm. Both the provider and the consumer require a go-between to get the goods delivered, making logistics and distribution vital.
Logistics extends to managing returns to extract the most profit from sales. Success in logistics translates to increased efficiency, lower costs, higher production rates, better inventory control, smarter use of storage space, increased customer and supplier satisfaction, and an overall improved customer experience.
Efficient logistics drive profits. This translates to improved innovation in transport and storage fields as well as the development of infrastructure. Hence contributing to the overall progress and development of human societies.
