Logistics and Material Handling

Over 200 years ago, Benjamin Franklin profoundly identified the importance of logistics, although he did not use the word. It has become even more important today with so much product being outsourced from different and multiple vendors often delivered from offshore.  If one item doesn't get there on time, the whole manufacturing or distribution process could be impacted. While the small to mid-sized Business Owner may not be importing product directly, he or she is often obtaining product from and delivering it to vendors and customers either locally or in other parts of the country.
