II Fill in the blanks with words or phrases from the list below:

1.“Logistics” is a term, which originates from both the army and French.

According to the French, the Baron of Jomini, who of Swiss origin who

had served in Napoleon’s army before joining the Russians and who later

founded the Military Academy of St. Petersburg, first used the term in the

early 19th century. So in a military sense, the term ‘logistics’ encompasses

transport organization, army replenishments and material maintenance.

2.Logistics deals with satisfying the customer. This implies that management

must first understand what those requirements are before a logistics

strategy can be developed and implemented to meet them. As will be

discussed in more detail later, customer service is the most important

output of an organization’s logistics system. This focus on customer

satisfaction will be emphasized through the text just as it should be in the

firm.

II Fill in the blanks with words or phrases from the list below:

1.Transportation refers to the physical movement of goods from a point of

origin to a point of consumption and can involve raw materials being

brought into the production process and/or finished goods being shipped

out to the customer.

2.Since these inputs can have a direct impact on both the cost and quality of

the final product/service offered to the consumer, this activity is vital to

the overall success of the logistics effort. In addition, the move away from

local sourcing in favor of global buying has complicated this entire process

dramatically in recent years.

II Fill in the blanks with words or phrases from the list below:

1.Cost has a relation to service. They go hand in hand. As you define your

service against your costs or costs against service, the give and take

develops into your operating costs and budgets. Then you have to make

sure that the cost can be managed. Otherwise costs can go out of control,

or seem to.

2.Logistics is a process, which runs from the vendor's door through to the

customer's. It interacts with almost every group within the company and

with many companies outside the company, including its customers.

Effective logistics revolves around five key issues--movement of product,

movement of information, time/service, cost and integration. Each of this

is critical to the success of logistics and to creating value-added to the

company and improving competitiveness.
