Logistics Flow Charts

Currently, the use of marketing approaches is not enough for business success. The use of modern highly effective methods and methods for managing stream processes, for example, logistics, is also required. Logistics coordinates all the structures of the enterprise and is of great importance for customers, suppliers of the company, its owners and shareholders. The goal of logistics is the most rational promotion of goods and services from a supplier to an end user. It is aimed at optimizing costs, streamlining production processes, marketing, and related services within a single enterprise or group of enterprises, and strategic management of financial and information flows. Logistics is a complex process, representing a single chain of inter-related actions: from marketing and receipt of an order for production, storage, and transportation.

Logistics is a kind of philosophy of a successful business and at the same time the art of meeting the needs and desires of both consumers and suppliers. The supplier’s goal is to minimize costs and maximize profits, and the client’s goal is to receive a good quality product or service, at a reasonable price on time and with top-level service. Using logistics helps to optimize all processes in the enterprise, accelerate a turnover of working capital, reduce all types of product inventories during production, delivery and sale, reduce production costs, ensure complete customer satisfaction with the quality of goods and services.

Example 7: Intermodal Transport Chain

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the libraries from the Logistics Flow Charts Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

The intermodal transport assumes delivering of cargo by multiple modes of transport, by a single document, with its congestion in transshipment points from one mode of transport to another, without the participation of cargo owner and without any handling of cargo. This sample is based on the "Logistique fluvio-maritime.jpg" file from the Wikimedia Commons and illustrates the chain of fluvio-maritime intermodal transport. The fluvio-maritime transport is a type of transport allowing one to move freely by the same vessel in the sea and on the river, at the same time considering the river's specificities and restrictions. In this way, one can improve the cargo safety and avoid any damages or losses, that can occur at the multiple cargo congestion, also eliminate the need for the partial transportation by over road, as well as save the time and additional costs of transportation by means of eliminating the need for additional cargo handling.
