Overview Of North American Logistics Company

Overview Of North American Logistics Company

By Claudine Hodges


Logistics is the activity that is intended to manage physical flows (as well as informative or financial data relating thereto) of an organization in order to provide matching resources to needs (more or less ) determined, and, following the anticipated economic conditions, the expected degree of quality of service, conditions of safety and security deemed satisfactory (North American logistics company).

Logistic as a discipline comes from the military science. This was mainly the effectiveness ie decisiveness central. Napoleon performed the function of "Marechal de Logis" field. This man was responsible for finding shelter for the troops. This word logistic emerged. It has nothing to do with logic or logic. When carrying out a military expedition, it is important that the front forces are timely provided with new ammunition, fresh rations, fuel, spare parts, and medical supplies.

But this technique could not be applied to sparsely populated and poor Russian plains. Napoleon Bonaparte saw this problem and therefore expanded on eve of attack the supply system of "Grand Army" strong. The problem obliged him to postpone the campaign until the harvest. These logistical problems were also evident in Second World War which the German army at the Eastern Front in 1941 had to stop its advance. This Red Army Soviets had time to reorganize his defense and the next year to put the counterattack.

Through this food problems, the Greeks were not enough people station making the decisive battle could not be done to Trojans. This war lasted ten years long. The Greek historian Thucydides (460 BC -. 400 BC.) Described this and realized the importance of presence or absence of good logistic preparation for war.

However, it represents an additional expense in short term, for companies and individuals. To encourage them to feed these return flows, governments of some countries, like France, have already introduced taxes: ADEME tax (on packaging products, paid by businesses); environmental tax (on electrical goods, paid for by those who buy them).

It is important that the purchase goes smoothly so that the business of company does not stand still. In addition, the source of supply must be reliable and a company should not be too dependent on a single supplier. The loss of key supplier can namely the continuity of company at risk because the business stops and finding a replacement supplier often takes much time. Often a company is a punctual delivery and good quality ultimately cheaper than the lowest price of product.

Therefore, the army marched along the coast accompanied by a fleet of warships and merchant ships. After a lost battle of Salamis, the Persian king had to withdraw because he was afraid that the compounds could be cut. A remainder of Persian army was defeated because, through the more difficult supply, were forced struggle to deliver an area unfavorable for them.

The control of such a system is complex and therefore attractive, but in practice it is often found that it is not working. The dissatisfaction with this form of work has introduced a new form, the group-making. The group-manufacturing is a combination of continuous production and functional classification. When pooling manufacture the machines are set up so that products can easily flow through the production hall. During the manufacture, use is made of group-production cells. These are autonomous groups of employees who are responsible for part of production of number of operations, giving them a degree of freedom to organize their work. As a group, they get jobs where they are jointly assessed.
