Opis

Global Logistics For Dummies is an operational-level reference and overview for those manufacturers, businesses, product distributors, providers of logistics services, humanitarian and disaster relief responders, and logisticians on both ends of a global chain that are making the decision to/or have recently embarked on entering the global logistics chain/market. The book provides a thorough overview of the various environments and whole-enterprise logistics elements that make up/should be considered in the decision to enter/excel in providing logistics end-items, goods and services to a global customer, be it governmental, wholesale, retail; or a coalition of individuals providing humanitarian/emergency support. From an introduction to both the "what's" and "why's" of global logistics that includes an exploration of those elements of the whole logistics enterprise - from pre-production through production to post-production/in-service support to the end of the product/service life-cycle - the book shows how global logistics demands the involvement of not only all elements of the logistics enterprise (e.g., design, logistics engineering, supply, storage/distribution, maintenance, transportation, returns/re-manufacturing) but also all elements of the business enterprise.
