Production logistics is the flow of goods that includes the management of
procured parts and materials, distribution inside a factory, product management,
packaging, and shipping to warehouse. Delivery management, warehouse dispatch
management, and shipping management can be optimized and the state of delivery
vehicles can be managed by smoothly linking procurement logistics and sales logistics
described later.
Logistics typically refers to sales logistics. In the past this was mainly delivery
