Welcome to this blog;

Business Logistics is the business function that manages, implements, and controls the efficient and effective flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers' requirements. Every business is within a logistics chain, and in our days, being able to optimize these activities and processes along this chain is strategical for most companies. The efficient management of the logistics activities is today a big challenge for most companies due its importance for business competitiveness and performance. The future of Logistics will be shaped by being able to answer new challenges as for example emerging technology (drones, driverless vehicles, Internet of Things, etc.), business analytics applications, sustainability and environmental issues, application to several areas and industries (healthcare, logistics for natural disaster, NGO, e-commerce, etc.) and new organizational issues (visibility, globalization, horizontal cooperation among companies, humanitarian logistics, etc.).
