Distribution involves the careers that focus on delivering raw materials, construction materials, finished industrial goods, the food we eat, the drugs we use, the vehicles we drive, and trains, buses and planes that get us to work every day.
The newest and fastest growing facet to this industry is logistics. Logistics is a process that is critical to successful distribution; they work hand-in-hand. Defined, logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption for the purpose of conforming to customer requirements. This includes inbound, outbound, internal and external movements, and the return of materials for environmental purposes.
