What is Managing Logistics and Supply
chain in exporting?
Managing logistics and supply chain in exporting involves
overseeing the movement and storage of goods from the point of
origin to the point of consumption in international markets. This
includes coordinating transportation, warehousing, inventory
management, and distribution to ensure timely and cost-effective
delivery of products to customers overseas. It also involves dealing
with customs regulations, documentation, and compliance with
international trade laws to facilitate smooth export operations.
Effective management ensures that goods are delivered efficiently,
minimizing delays and costs while maximizing customer
satisfaction.
