Logistics is usually only visible when it falters, so logistical processes and supply chain management became very present during the COVID19 pandemic, the blockade in the Suez Canal and currently during the ongoing Ukraine war. Empty shelves,stopped production lines and hoarding (massive stockpiling) are the consequence.
How global supply chains work, what logistics and the subtasks of logistics have to do with it and what they can do to avoid supply bottlenecks is part of the advanced course Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
