520 |a "It is impossible to view commerce and management which excludes logistics. As consumers, we take for granted that the intricate web of different flows of good, services and information allows us to partake in international business. But behind the scene many people work to get everything right: the wonderful world of logistics. Logistics incorporates aspects as various as supply, purchasing, storage, control, customer service, planning and transport. All these aspects deal with customer satisfaction and with the increase of international trade and shorter product life cycle play a more important role in business than ever before. Huge amounts of capital are invested in stocks and mistakes in this field could be the difference between success and bankruptcy. This all increases the need for qualified staff familiar with logistics. Especially higher educated logisticians will find a good career in this field. But also those who opt for a different career like marketing or finance will find this book a good source of information on a subject they need to know about if they want to understand some of the problems they could encounter in their professional life. This book is written with one specific group of readers in mind: international students who would like to get acquainted with the basics of logistics. Students who do not specifically have to become logistics managers but who will need the logistics background in order to perform better in their chosen future careers as, i.e. sales manager, human resource manager, category manager etc. We will take a practical approach to logistics. We will not try to take the student to the deepest end of the subject, but will ensure that everything important is tackled in such a way that the student will be able to understand the role of logistics within his own future job. The structure of the book uses the generally acknowledged split within logistics: Role of logistics; Material management; Purchasing; Physical distribution." --Descripción del editor.
