1. CONCEPT OF LOGISTICS

Logistics - the science of organizing joint activities of all functional divisions of an enterprise for the passage of commodity flows from raw material suppliers through a manufacturing enterprise to end consumers.

Logistics studies not only commodity, but also related flows - informational and financial.

Main questionsthat logistics deals with are:

1) managing the supply of the enterprise with raw materials and consumables (this includes solving such problems as choosing a supplier, calculating the optimal volume, structure and rhythm of delivery, evaluating the performance of the supplier);

2) planning, control, management of transportation and warehousing (at this stage, the tasks of choosing a carrier, the form of ownership of storage facilities, organizing the acceptance of goods and checking their quality are solved);

3) internal processing of raw materials, materials and semi-finished products;

4) bringing finished products to the consumer in accordance with the interests and requirements of the latter (maintaining the necessary assortment list of goods, timely processing of customer orders, searching for new forms and methods of marketing, analysis of trading activities);

5) transfer, storage and processing of relevant information.

Science coordinates such functional areas of the enterprise as supply, production and marketing.

Object of study of logistics - this is what can be individually described and considered by a logistics specialist, for example: material flows, flow processes, the process of fulfilling customer orders, the process of moving products along the supply chain, or any combination of them.

Subject of research logistics - this is the activity of logistics for management, planning, organization, control, regulation, accounting for the process of promoting products and services.

Purpose of logistics - creation of opportunities for improving the activities of employees of the enterprise's divisions, aimed at reducing the level of total costs and maximizing profits. The goal of logistics is considered achieved if the right product of the right quality is delivered at the right cost to the right consumer in the right quantity at the right time to the right place.

The purpose of logistics is achieved by excluding operations of an organizational and functional nature that do not create added value for the consumer. In other words, everything that does not benefit the consumer and, accordingly, the income of the enterprise is redundant.

Each company develops logistics concept - a system of views on improving the efficiency of the enterprise systems. It is based on the long-term goals of the enterprise and ensures the coordination of actions of all departments. Employees of the functional divisions of the enterprise should take an active part in the development of the concept. This not only increases the degree of their motivation to work in concert, but also, through the introduction of new ideas, can improve the content of the concept itself.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

After a hard day at work, people speak faster and louder. 27.06.2022

At the end of a busy day at work, people start talking faster and louder due to the way stress affects breathing. These conclusions were reached by German scientists in the course of a study involving 111 people aged 19-59.

Volunteers during the week assessed how difficult the working day was, and recorded their evening conversations on a dictaphone.

Analysis of audio recordings showed that tired people after stressful situations in the evening begin to pronounce words faster.

This is because stress activates the sympathetic nervous system. Because of this, bronchodilation occurs - the airways open and the person begins to breathe more often. This increases the speed of speech and the volume of the voice.
