A Study On Logistics Outsourcing And Selection Of Third Party Logistics Provider From E –Commerce Perspective

Abstract

The  prevalent  view  is  that  the  term logistics comes  from   the   late   19th   century:   from   French logistique (loger means to lodge). Logistics is the management of the flow of things between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet requirements of customers or corporations. The resources managed in logistics can include physical items, such as food, materials, animals, equipment and liquids, as well as abstract items, such as time, information, particles, and energy.
