Definition
• Logistics - Science of managing the movement and storage of goods (or people) from acquisition to consumption.
• Movement = Transportation (between locations).• Storage = Inventory, Warehousing (at locations).
• Difference between acquisition and consumption is a matter of space and time.
• Focus: Best way to overcome space and time that separates acquisition and consumption.
Why Things Are Where They Are
• Why is St. Louis here?
• Why are New York, Los Angeles, etc. where they are?
• Why are some things produced in certain places - and other things produced everywhere? – See book example with VCRs and software (p. 4)
• Why are bananas for the USA grown in Central and South America, but oranges for the USA are grown in Florida and California?
• Cost to grow (¢/lb) Bananas Orangesin USA 25 20in Central America 10 15
• Logistics cost (¢/lb) to USA to Central Americafrom USA 10 15from Central America 20 5
Consume Consume in Bananas Total Cost in USA Central Americagrow in USA 35 = 25 + 10 40 = 25 + 15grow in Central America 30 = 10 + 20 15 = 10 + 5
Result: Grow bananas only in Central America
Bananas and Oranges
• Cost to grow (¢/lb) Bananas Orangesin USA 25 20in Central America 10 15
• Logistics cost (¢/lb) to USA to Central Americafrom USA 10 15from Central America 20 5
Consume Consume in Oranges Total Cost in USA Central Americagrow in USA 30 = 20 + 10 35 = 20 + 15grow in Central America 35 = 15 + 20 20 = 15 + 5
Result: Grow oranges in both USA and Central America
Bananas and Oranges
• Inexpensive transportation:– Allows specialization in space.– De-couples supply and demand regions.– Increases availability and competition.
• Inexpensive inventory/warehousing: – Allows specialization in time.– De-couples supply and demand in time.– Increases availability and competition.
