We have seen that the expected supply to play its role adequately and proactively, in terms of facilitating change and improvement of logistics processes, must have the ability to create and develop an information system functional logistics activities, and contribute to the optimization of the processes by consultative approach to their management (although it would be better to call co-management, in coordination with the client).
On these issues, by their very large and important, we will return certainly later.
we pause now, instead, on the first and perhaps most important characteristic that must have the logistics: the operational capability, or, in other words, the ability to realize in practice the logistics activities associated with his role. As well of course, be able to do work is the prerequisite to do it ... and of course to sell it.
But what we summarize the operations of the logistics?
They differ depending on the position occupied by the operator in the logistics chain. We summarize these roles, and give the list of operational activities of each one, specify the necessary resources, in future articles we will analyze in detail each of them.
Role of the Carrier or Carrier

Role of the Carrier or Carrier
It 's the person who delivers the goods, inbound or outbound from a warehouse (one each in and out of the stock in question), and operational steps that are supposed to handle:
- Transport: vehicles, drivers, system geographic information system for travel planning
- intermediate storage : This is the transit of goods in the stores so-called interchange or transit points. Stores are exclusively handling and outgoing goods, which do not have stock, and identify often in distribution platforms: small deposits where, within a few hours, the goods are unloaded and reloaded, so the end of the business cycle appears to be empty warehouse
- Management of transport documents : according to the nature of the goods transported, must be drawn and used to transport documents required by the rules in case of intermediate stops and reloading of goods, documents of the second section of travel shall be made by carrier.
Role of Stock
It 's the person who stores the goods, and performs some processing on them that the only change in content or in the package, and that often include several steps of disaggregation and reaggregation of products according to varying criteria.
Operational activities more typical of a warehouse are:
- Reception goods: we need adequate spaces, mobile platforms (such flaps), operating personnel and moving equipment to move the weights appropriate
- Check and set up stock of goods: it takes systems (manual or information) for checking cargo, and storage facilities suitable for the type, size and weight of the goods
- Reception and preparation of orders : order management systems are required, equipment sampling (pickers, etc..) equipment for the packing and sorting of packages, and of course the operating personnel can perform these tasks.
- Shipping goods : the activity is similar to that of input, for which there must be adequate equipment and personnel.
In general, the operational activities "concrete" that the expected supply must be able to play are closely tied to the ability to have , organize, coordinate in time and space resources typically labor-intensive, such as human resources , and also typically money-intensive resources, such as those related to transport vehicles, warehouses, stationary and mobile and operating systems.
It is therefore complex and expensive resources management, which requires skills and vocational training as well as a potentially vast market and able to repay the costs. All These elements that contribute to the consistency of the reduced number of logistics operators actually able to operate effectively and efficiently in the field.
emphasize that the same requirements and capabilities must also possess the internal logistics functions to companies that choose to handle the logistics chain directly, without recourse to outside contractors.

Good logistics!
