INTEGRATING THE LOGISTIC FUNCTION WITHIN ENTERPRISE’S FUNCTIONS
Abstract
Amplification and diversification of conditions in which an enterprise activates, is reflected in all the activities carried out within such. Coordination of the complex activities taking place within an enterprise requires a good management of information flows, as well as of physical flows. This situation calls for a better organization of activities within the enterprise. Taking into account that a flow implies movement of items in time and space, an issue of the utmost importance is to follow-up their trajectory within the enterprise. By grouping logistic activities within the same function, optimal management of the relationships within the enterprise, as well as interactions between such, is facilitated. Within current competitive context, characterized by a variety of customized offers, reduction of products life span, increasing requirements of the consumers who become ever more demanding, logistics occupies a key position within the continuous quest for the highest quality.
