Logistics Management
Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers. Logistics management is that part of the supply chain which plans, implements and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customers’ requirements.

At Tecma, logistics activities are more than moving goods around. It involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging.

Business Logistics
Logistics as a business concept evolved recently due to the increasing complexity of supplying one’s business with materials and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, calling for experts in the field. This can be defined as having the right item in the right quantity at the right time at the right place for the right price and is the science of process and incorporates all industry sectors. Tecma's ultimate goal of our logistics service is to manage the fruition of project life cycles, supply chains and resultant efficiencies.

Our logistics service includes inventory management, purchasing, transportation, warehousing, consultation and the organizing and planning of these activities. We combine a professional knowledge of each of these functions so that there is a coordination of resources in an organization. There are two fundamentally different forms of logistics. One optimizes a steady flow of material through a network of transport links and storage nodes. The other coordinates a sequence of resources to carry out some project.

Production Logistics
The purpose of production logistics is to ensure that each machine and workstation is being fed with the right product in the right quantity and quality at the right point in time.

Manufacturing in an existing plant is a constantly changing process. The issue is not the transportation itself, but to streamline and control the flow through the value adding processes and to eliminate all that add no value. Production logistics provides the means to achieve customer response and capital efficiency.

Production logistics is getting more and more important with the decreasing batch sizes. In many industries batch size one is the short-term aim. This way even a single customer demand can be fulfilled in an efficient way. Track and tracing, which is an essential part of production logistics - due to product safety and product reliability issues—is also gaining importance especially in the automotive and the medical industry.
