It includes transportation, warehousing, inventory management, materials handling, packaging, and order fulfillment. Originating in military supply, logistics is now central to supply-chain management and to the operation and support phase of engineered products. Effective logistics balances cost, speed, and reliability across complex networks. ## Key points - Manages the flow and storage of goods, services, and information - Includes transportation, warehousing, and inventory control - Has roots in military supply and resupply - Central to supply-chain management - Balances cost, speed, and reliability across networks ## Relation to Systems Engineering Logistics underpins integrated logistics support, the systems-[[Engineering|engineering]] concern with sustaining a [[System|system]] through its operational life, including spares, maintenance, and distribution. ## Sources - [Logistics — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistics) Back to Systems Engineering --- <!-- SEMIOTIC-PROFILE:START --> ## Semiotic profile > *The semiotic universals this article invokes, machine-derived from the crossref — **unverified** (born so).
