Logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient flow and storage of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption in order to meet customer requirements. It involves the coordination of various activities such as transportation, warehousing, inventory management, packaging, and often includes aspects of procurement and supply chain management. The goal of logistics is to ensure that the right product is delivered to the right place at the right time, while minimising costs and maximising efficiency.

(i) Production Logistics: It links procurement to distribution logistics. Its primary function is to use available production capacities to produce the products needed in distribution logistics. Production logistics activities are associated with organisational concepts, layout planning, production planning, and control.

(ii) Distribution Logistics: It has, as major tasks, the delivery of the finished products to the end user. It involves order processing, warehousing, and transportation. Distribution logistics is necessary because the place, time, and quantity of production differ with the place, time, and quantity of consumption.

(iv) Reverse Logistics: It implies all those operations related to the reuse of materials and products. The reverse logistics process includes the management and the sale of surpluses, as well as products being returned to vendors from buyers.

(v) Military Logistics: In military science, maintaining one's supply lines while disrupting those of the enemy is a vital, some would say the most critical element of military strategy, since an armed force without transportation and resources is defenceless.

(vi) Business Logistics: A forklift stacking a logistics provider's warehouse of goods on pallets. One definition of business logistics speaks of "getting the right thing in the right quantity at the right time at the right place in the right price in the right condition to the right customer". As the science of process, business logistics integrates all industry sectors. Logistics work intends to manage the fulfilment of supply chain, project life cycles, and resultant efficiencies.

(vii) Production Logistics: The term production logistics  illustrates logistic processes within an industry Production logistics intends to ensure that every machine and workstation receives the right product in the right quality and quantity at the right time.

(viii) Logistics Management: Logistics is that segment of the supply chain that plans, executes, and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and associated information between the origin point and the consumption point in order to meet customer and legal requirements.
