ASPECTS OF LOGISTIC PLANNING IN A MILITARY UNIT AT PEACETIME

Abstract

The inter-conditioning of the management processes within the economic domain with those belonging to military logistics generates a modern approach of logistics management, in the context of creating the necessary circumstances for fulfilling the objectives of interoperability with the western military structures. Logistic planning proves useful in identifying risks and accurately determining the costs and benefits implied by providing logistic support at the appropriate time and place. Without clear and consistent focus on efficient logistic planning, the military organization might be caught in the whirlwind of unpredictable events, not being able to influence them properly, in order to fulfill in an adequate manner its operational goals. Thus, through the aspects revealed below, we set out to deal only with the relevant issues outlining the concept and process of logistics management and present the details of the planning activity in the military unit at peacetime.
