    The Importance of Logistics

    You buy Italian loafers that were made in Milan, two days later they get delivered to your front
    door. You order red snapper for dinner, it was caught this morning a 1,000 miles away, supply
    chain logistics makes all of this happen. It makes it affordable for consumers, profitable for
    companies in a global economy. I'm Rudy Leuschner with Rutgers Business School, and I'm
    excited to teach you about logistics. 

    I'm actually a Professor of Supply Chain Management, and we're talking about logistics, so
    what are you doing here? Every modern company, from Apple to Zappos, lives, thrives, or dies
    by their ability to match supply with demand. If you're considering a career in supply chain
    management, are already working in the field, are simply fascinated by how goods move
    around the globe, this course is for you.

    Dear learner,

    thank you for taking the time to look at this course. Please take a look at the following to
    understand what you are going to be able to do after completing this course, who this
    course was designed for and to ensure you are getting the most out of this course.

    Why Supply Chain Logistics?


    Logistics is defined as the movement and storage of goods, services, and related
    information. Therefore, the study of logistics is essential in today's global interconnected
    supply chains, where we can bring companies together through transportation,
    warehousing, and inventory management.

    An Introduction to Logistics
    In this introductory Supply Chain Logistics course, I will take you on a journey to this
    fascinating backbone of global trade. Please note that the idea for this course is to
    introduce learners to logistics. While I am planning to cover the most important pieces, this
    is not meant to be exhaustive nor should you expect to be an expert upon completion. But
    my goal is to show the major pieces of logistics in a fun manner and hopefully this will
    encourage you to learn more.

    What topics will you cover?

    We cover the three major building blocks of logistics networks:

     Transportation
     Warehousing
     Inventory

    What will I be able to do upon completing this course?

     After completing this course, you will be able to differentiate the advantages and
    disadvantages of different modes of transportation.
     You will understand what goes into designing and setting up a warehousing facility.
     You will be able to select the options that enable you to develop logistics networks, that
    minimize costs and deliver top customer service.

    Who is this course for?

    This introductory course is designed for three general audiences. While this is not an
    exhaustive list, you should be able to see yourself in one of these three groups:

    1. Those of you who are exploring a career in Supply Chain Management, but lack the any
    background. This course will provide you with a general overview of the field of logistics.
    2. Those of you who are working with people in logistics and want to understand their daily
    challenges better.
    3. Those of you who are fascinated by how the products, services, and information are
    moved and stored in a complex global logistics network.

    What do I need to start?

    This is an introductory course designed to provide you with a start on your learning journey
    in logistics. We are going to cover logistics from a US perspective (this is where I live). As
    such, you do not need to have any background in logistics, but it would be beneficial if you
    had a basic understanding of:

     General business concepts


     No math necessary!
