Production requires raw materials on time and in exact quantities – this is where procurement logistics operates. It orchestrates the entire flow of materials from supplier locations through transport routes and warehouses to the factory gate, managing inventory levels, minimizing transport costs, coordinating delivery schedules, and ensuring on-time supply. Unlike general procurement, procurement logistics focuses specifically on physical availability and timing: transport, handling, warehousing, and information systems.
