Chapter 1 Tasks and Aspects of Modern Logistics Flashcards
Must provide the right quantities of goods most efficiently at the right place in the right order within the right time.
LOGISTIC
are to execute orders and to fulfill the requirements of consumers and companies at lowest cost with adequate quality.
LOGISTIC MANAGEMENT
Are physical goods such as raw materials preliminary products, unfinished and finished goods, packages, parcels and containers and discarded goods. Also animals and and even people can be logistic objects, which need special care and service.
OBJECTS OF LOGISTICS
THE SOURCES AND THE FINAL SINKS
*Supplier or Senders
*Destinations or Receivers
Are plants, factories, storages and warehouses of producers, wholesalers, logistic service providers.
Supplier or Senders
Are the departments stores, markets and sales outlets of retailers and the points of consumption.
Destinations or Receivers
Is a set of elements connected by certain relations.
SYSTEM
Are systems where the elements are stations, and the relations are material of information flows between these elements.
NETWORKS
Is a generalization of the term machine system. The function of PH are determined by the requirements.
PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
Executes production orders. It processes, transforms, handles and moves physical objects by a certain technique.
MACHINE SYSTEM
Defines only the output and allows a variety of solutions. The methods technology, structures and processes remain open.
RESULT SPECIFICATION
Determined processes and method, thereby, limiting the number of possibilities and solutions.
FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION
Prescribes materials, elements, and structure of the system in addition to methods and processes.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
It is to ensure the efficient supply of consumers, companies and state with goods to organized the traffic flows between sources and destinations within a region, a country and around the globe.
MACROLOGISTICS
It refers to the search for the maximum optimization of internal logistical processes in a company.
MICROLOGISTICS
THE OUTPUT OF A PERFORMANCE PROCESS CAN BE
*Tangible outputs
*Intangible outputs
The physical of objects such as material, buildings, industrial, products, consumer goods or in general products that result from an extraction, production, manufacture, refinement, machining, assembling or filling process.
Tangible outputs
Are the results or a transformation of space, time or transformation of physical and or immaterial objects, such as rearranging, stacking, packing, coding, handling, transport or storing.
Intangible outputs
Can only execute one kind of process
MONOFUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE STATIONS
Can execute several different process in parallel or in sequence.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE STATIONS
Consist of parallel or serially arranged elementary stations. They can execute different processes simultaneously.
COMBINED STATIONS
Physical objects are produced, process, transformed, stored, moved or handled.
OPERATIVE STATIONS
Orders data or information are produced, processed, stored or transmitted.
ADMINISTRATIVE STATIONS
It has only direct connections by unbroken transports between sources and sinks.
SINGLE STAGE NETWORKS
