Unit I. LOGISTICS AND LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT 
 
PART 1 
 
1.1. What of the words from the list given below do you associate with «Logistics»? Can you add any words to the list? 
 
Words: process, strategy,information, product,  
flow,  channel, system, manage,

1.2 This text will introduce you to the scientific approaches to Logistics and Logistics Management. Examine the text carefully and try to understand the meaning of the bold-faced words. Use the prompts to the right of the text. You can 
check yourself with the key given below the text. 
 
 
The concept of Logistics started many years 
before Christ and was used by Greek generals (Leon 
the Wise, Alexander the Great) in order to describe all 
the procedures for the army‟ s procurement on food, 
clothing, ammunition, etc. 
 
Alexander the Great was a big fan of the mobility of his troops and he didn‟ t want his troops to stay 
in one place waiting for supplies from Macedonia. 
Thus, he tried to resolve the issues of supplies by using supplies from the local resources of his defeated 
enemies. Starting from the early „60s of the XX century, many factors, such as deregulation, competitive 
pressures, information technology, globalization, 
profit leverage, etc., contributed to the increase of 
Logistics science in the form we know it today. 
  
1. Logistics means логистика. 
 
2. Procurement is the process of obtaining supplies of 
sth, especially for government or an organization. It 
means ____. 
 
3. 
Supply is снабжение, 
поставка; снабжать, доставлять. 
 
4. 
  
Adj. resolved 
 
V 
resolve (решать) 
 
Nre    solution 
  
 
5. Profitl everage means 
____. 
 

Logistics is the process of managing the flow 
and storage of materials and information across the 
entire organization with the aim to provide the best 
customer service in the shortest time at the lowest 
cost. Early logistics management research focused on 
the management of transportation and warehouses. 
Logistics management is sometimes used instead of 
physical distribution. However, these two functions 
are very different from each other. Logistics management includes many activities from supplying the 
materials to customer satisfaction. On the other hand, 
physical distribution is interested in only distributing 
final products to the customers. 
 
The most recent definition of logistics from 
CLM (now the Council of Supply Chain Management 
Professionals – CSCMP), in 2003 is: «that part of 
supply chain management that plans, implements 
and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related 
information between the point of origin and the point 
of consumption in order to meet customers‟  requirements». 
 
Today, research in logistics addresses two aspects: 1) supply chain logistics, concerned with the 
flow of goods; and 2) service response logistics, 
concerned with the coordination of non-material activities necessary for the fulfillment of the service in a 
cost – and customer service – affective manner.

12. Service response means

An informal review of research topics appearing 
in the Journal of Business Logistics (JBL) identifies 
traffic and transportation, warehousing and storage, 
inventory management, packaging and return goods 
handling, salvage and scrap disposal as key foci of 
supply chain logistics; and order processing and information systems, customer service and procurement 
as key foci of service response logistics. Over time, 
logistics research has evolved from a pure internal focus on cost control, and functional areas of inventory, 
transportation, warehousing and order processing integration regarding supplies and customers. 
 
The current state of logistics research reflects its 
evolution from an emphasis on operational and functional areas to an emphasis on the efficiencies that 
can be gained through the integration and interface(s) 
between disparate areas and other functional departments within the organization 
 
including manufacturing, human resources, finance/accounting, etc. Today, logistics research is 
responding to recent calls for measuring the performance of the logistics system and subsystems and its 
implication for overall firm performance, especially 
with an emphasis on the efficiencies that can be 
gained from extending this functional integration 
through collaboration across the entire supply chain.
