Rationale:

Logistics, distribution and materials management, which deals primarily with the flow of goods or services among members of the supply chain, including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and the customers themselves, is an important branch of business. Without this field, businesses would have no means of getting their products to customers efficiently. Perhaps it is no surprise, then, that businesses may be willing to invest quite a deal of money into such operations.

The rapid growth of technology and the increase in variety of customer needs stimulate the competition between different industries. In order to retain good business position and growth rate, all businesses in the world are using the same approach, logistics management, as their main management strategy.
