Logistics (new)

Logistics encompasses the efficient management of goods through various stages, including reception, storage, collection, shipping, inventory control, and forklift operation. Competitors are expected to perform tasks such as organising stock, preparing shipments, and maintaining accurate inventory records, all while adhering to safety and operational standards. A professional in logistics must also understand the principles of storage economy and how logistical efficiency impacts overall business performance. Additionally, basic knowledge of international material distribution and supply chain processes is essential for success in this field.
