Elements of Logistics Used in Industrial Operational Management
Under the conditions of the current economic-social development within the industrial company’s management, there occurs a new function, that of logistics, which has a decisive influence on the company’s other functions. Thus, the industrial company’s logistics is systematically approached, emphasising its elements, namely: production logistics, commercial logistics, operational logistics, sales support logistics, pilotage logistics. In the industrial company’s organisational structure, logistics has an independent position, and the implementation of any logistical study within the company incurs costs related to the supply transportation, related to the distribution, related to the operation of warehouses, etc. These costs can be deemed as being total costs that depend on the total quantity that is subject to the logistical process. Any activity of logistics within the company can be analysed by means of a questionnaire called Logitest. The absence of the activity of logistics within the company or an inappropriate activity of logistics may lead to the occurrence of a logistic drama—the Logidram that emphasises the client-supplier conflict, the conflicts inside the company, the conflicts with the logistic operators, etc.
