The design and implementation of logistics processes has the objective of getting the right goods, to the right place, at the right time at minimum cost. Traditional production engineering design has focused almost exclusively on the value-add production process. Logistics engineering is part of the far wider scope of manufacturing engineering that seeks to create the most competitive manufacturing process throughout the total supply chain. Competitive logistics processes have as their foundation a commitment to total quality, elimination of waste and total involvement of the workforce.
