About Logistics Management Fundamentals

GoConqr Original

What this page covers

This page lists material on the basics of logistics management, and most of it is mind maps. You will find maps on the role of logistics in supply chains, demand management and customer service, distribution logistics, reverse logistics, inventory decision making and the transportation system. There are also flowcharts, a few notes and a slide set.

Where to start

Begin with the overview maps. Introduction into Logistics sets out the benefits of better logistics, such as less stock, lower costs and higher delivery performance. The map on logistics, supply chain, activities and organizations of materials shows upstream and downstream activities, from initial suppliers to final customers. Read one of these first, then move on to the topic maps.

A sensible order

  1. Overview: the maps on the role of logistics in supply chains.
  2. Demand: DEMAND MANAGEMENT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE, which covers forecasting and collaborative forecasting.
  3. Movement: the maps on transport modes and the transportation system.
  4. Storage: C.11 Warehousing Decisions, which looks at the nature and importance of warehousing.
  5. Flows and return: Distribution Logistics and Reverse Logistics.
  6. Measurement: the maps on measuring and managing logistics performance.

Using quizzes, maps and flashcards together

Read a map, close it, and try to recall its branches. Then test yourself. Logistics - Test 2 asks what logistics involves and what a qualified logistician does. The Logistics' Equipment flashcards list forklifts, conveyors, sorters and automated guided vehicles, which suits quick recall. The quizzes here are a small set, so use the flashcards and maps to fill the gaps between them.

Where this unit sits

This unit belongs to the strand Foundations of Logistics and Supply Chain Management, within the subject Logistics and supply chain. It suits university students building a base, and teachers who want ready-made material to adapt for a class.

Open a map that matches your current topic, then build your own set of notes or flashcards alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I start on this page?

Start with an overview map such as Introduction into Logistics or the map on the role of logistics in supply chains. They set out the main ideas and vocabulary. After that, choose a topic map, for example on transportation or warehousing, and test yourself with a quiz or flashcards.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 600 mind maps. They cover demand management and customer service, distribution logistics, reverse logistics, inventory decision making, transport modes, warehousing decisions and measuring logistics performance. One map looks at a battery recall case in India, which gives a real example to study.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next. Check a few on the same topic to compare.

Which quizzes and flashcards can I use to check my knowledge?

Try Logistics - Test 2 for the basics of what logisticians do. The Logistics' Equipment flashcards cover warehouse and handling equipment, and the Logistics deck asks about distribution logistics goals and service providers. There are also quizzes on transportation and logistic facilities.

Who are these resources for?

They are aimed at university students going over a topic or filling gaps, and at teachers looking for ready-made material. Most of the content is at university level. Teachers can open a map in class or point students to a quiz for practice.

What if I can't find the topic I need?

Try a nearby topic first, since several maps overlap, such as transportation, transport modes and the transportation system. If it is still missing, a free account lets you make your own mind maps, flashcards, quizzes and notes, and save your quiz scores.
