Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) in logistics orchestrates planning and control of material flows across all phases—procurement, production, storage, distribution, and returns. In practice, logisticians coordinate with manufacturers, warehouse operators, and freight forwarders to optimize inventory, minimize lead times, and reduce costs.
