So in a military sense, theterm ‘logistics’ encompasses transport organization, army replenishments andmaterial maintenance.2.Logistics deals with satisfying the customer. This implies that management must firstunderstand what those requirements are before a logistics strategy can be developedand implemented to meet them. As will be discussed in more detail later, customerservice is the most important output of an organization’s logistics system. This focuson customer satisfaction will be emphasized through the text just as it should be inthe firm.Part III Vocabulary exercises1. B2. D3. A4.C5. D6.D7.A8.A9.C 10.

第一章1.1为了避免潜在的误解对物流的意义，这本书采用目前定义由议会颁布的物流管理，是世界上最突出的物流专业组织之一。

考虑美国海军陆战队的目标是取代库存信息，使他们不会储存在战场附近吨物资。

这就是武装德福塞斯在海湾战争时，却发现他们无法保持在什么容器，甚至没有使用的许多项目跟踪最后，机CLM的定义表明，这对物流的目的是“满足客户的需求。
