What Does the Job Entail and Why is it Important?
Can you imagine McDonalds running out of hamburgers but having thousands of rolls? Lowes having plywood but no two by fours or going the local grocery store and finding that there is no chicken because the truck from the supplier did not arrive?
Can you imagine being a manufacturer that assembles a product with components sourced from around the globe that all need to arrive at your plant within a small window of time to build your product for delivery to your customer? And then having to ship these finished goods to your customers worldwide?
Should the product travel by barge, ship, rail, airfreight, truck or some combination of these options? Do you have enough room for everything in you warehouse or should you store the product in bulk offsite and pull smaller shipments on a schedule. Are there environmental concerns to be considered in the warehouse such as the need for refrigeration or heat so the product does not freeze.
These are all issues that the Logistics Specialist address on a daily basis in order to make certain we all have the products we want when we want them.
