Document Summary

Cannot make meaning of these systems of production. Difficult because there is nothing to see. Logistics refers to the efficient management of the flow of materials, energy, information, and labor-power from one point to another. Logistics refers to the efficient management of the flow of materials, energy, information, and labor-power from one point to another: never stands still. It is, therefore, supply chain management, where, for example, for example, a specified number of commodities have to reach a particular place at a specified time in the most rational and efficient manner available. As such, logistics involves the design and management of transport routes, warehousing, inventory and tracking systems, packaging, distribution, etc. Everything you buy is a result of logistics. Planetary technology within reach: sole system for being is production and transportation of materials for use. Not just a system that functions 24/7 to do things we need. No supply chain is separate from any other.
