The Role of the Logistics Manager/Director

Abstract

The logistics function has increased dramatically over the last decade from the narrow responsibilities of distribution to a broader interpretation of the disciplines involving all aspects of the material flow. The challenges that this has given logistics managers, who need to expand their skills to encompass the internal and external responsibilities of the traditional logistics function in order to take full advantage of the new technologies and incorporate new ideas into the business environment, are addressed.
