Logistics activity creates place (tranportation) and time (storage) utility and relates to "physical distribution," or the movement and handling of goods from point of production to the point of consumption. From a management viewpoint, the problems of business logistics extend to include all aspects of order processing, supply scheduling, inventory management, warehouse operation, and transportation.
DCG Corplan objectively evaluates whether the company should own its logistics assests or manage those of an outside provider. Activity-based costing is applied which traces back overhead and direct costs to specific products, services, or customer accounts based upon how resources are actually used.
