Unit 1Introduction to Logistics The term "logistics" originally comes from the moving， lodging and supplying of troops. Mili-tary commanders have always been aware of the importance of good logistics to the success of theircampaigns. Many military failures have arisen from failure to maintain a logistic line of communica-tion. The term involves not only the movement of goods， but also of people， as well as housing andfeeding them. Before the material， food and accommodation can be supplied， they must first be ob-tained from somewhere. It may be bought "off the shelf"， but if it is not readily available it must bedesigned and made. Logistics is also described as the art of achieving the "six rights" ： they are get-ting the right things， in the right quantity， to the right place， at the right time， in the right conditionand at the right price. In the business world， however， the concept of "logistics" is applied solely to "Material Re-plenishment Programs" （MRP） and is confined to the manufacturing sector at the beginning. There-fore the extension of concept to company operations is a relatively new one and the earliest datesback to the 1950s in the USA. Logistics starts with the provision of raw materials and semi-finished goods for the manufacturingprocess， and finishes up with the physical distribution and after-sales service of products. Economically， this creates a new source of profit characterized by the development of mass dis-tribution and attention to service quality. The two basic objectives in practicing business logistics，cost reduction and time saving.
