Logistics serves as the lifeline of the modern economy, connecting every link between production and consumption. Understanding fundamental logistics knowledge helps enterprises optimize supply chains, reduce operational costs, and enhance market competitiveness. Logistics primarily encompasses six core functions: transportation, warehousing, packaging, loading/unloading, distribution, and information processing. Its central objective is to deliver the right goods to the right place at the right time and in the right manner.
Common modes in international logistics include ocean freight, air freight, rail transport, and road transport. Ocean freight is ideal for bulk cargo and offers the lowest cost; air freight provides the fastest transit times and suits high-value goods; rail transport strikes a balance between speed and cost; road transport delivers the most flexible “last-mile” delivery services. Additionally, understanding critical processes like customs clearance, insurance, and documentation is essential.
