15. How can the Critical Interface between Logistics and Production be Managed?

Abstract

The production department is one which barely survives in the traditional sketch of the logistics system. It is often indicated implicitly within a flow diagram but not examined in detail. The logistics manager needs to take an interest in the system itself, not to dictate matters of process or control, but to help the total system tie together. This chapter serves as a general description of several issues which arise from production and impact on the effective logistics management of the organisation.
