Happy to notice today (24.8.2021) that I taught the course on logistics using this book in 1996-97 session.

The main book used might be "Business Logistics Management" by Ronald H. Ballou (1973).

But I have transparencies containing material from Bowersox and Closs's Book also in the course notes, that I came across today as part of my going through all papers in my office room to shift some papers to my house as part of post-retirement vacating of the office room.

1. Logistics 


Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, materials handling, and packaging.

Business logistics is the study of how management can best provide a profitable level of distribution service to customers through effective planning, organizing and controlling of the move-store activities that facilitate product flow.


Cost - A Very Important Issue in Logistics Management


Observe the following statements.


1. The operation responsibility of logistics is the geographical positioning of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished inventories where required at the lowest cost possible.


2. The overall goal of logistics is to achieve a targeted level of customer service at the lowest possible total cost.


3. Logistical competency is a relative assessment of a firm's capability to provide competitively superior customer service at the lowest possible total cost,


4. The challenge in logistics is to balance service expectations and cost expenditures in a manner that achieves business objectives.

5. In today's operating environment of logistics, the limiting factor is economics, not technology.


6. Extreme service commitment might constitute a sales manager's dream, but it would be costly and typically is not necessary to support marketing and manufacturing operations.


7. In final analysis, logistical service is a balance of service priority and cost.


8. The typical enterprise seeks to develop and implement an overall logistical competence that satisfies key customer expectations at a realistic total-cost expenditure.


9. Formulation of sound logistics strategy requires a capability to estimate cost required to achieve alternative service levels.


Chapter 4. Supply Chain Relationships

The objective of this chapter is to develop an understanding of the importance of supply chain relationships. Attention is directed to supply chain competitiveness; the relationship of risk, power and leadership; and the characteristics of successful supply chain management.
