THE WORLD LOGISTICS SCENE: LOGISTICS TAKES THE BROADER VIEW

Abstract

Logistics in the industrial sense started in transportation and distribution. Now it is a much broader professional function crossing the traditional boundaries of supply, manufacture and retail. The emergence of logistics as a total concept particularly in the UK is discussed by Bob Hoilier, professor of Operational Management in the Management Science Department at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and Editor‐in‐Chief of Logistics World.
