What activities are involved in an integrated logistics system?

What will be an ideal response?

The market logistics task calls for integrated logistics systems (ILS), which include materials management, material flow systems, and physical distribution, aided by information technology (IT). Market logistics encompasses several activities, starting with sales forecasting, used as the basis for distribution and production schedules and inventory levels. Materials are ordered based on the production plan and arrive through inbound transportation, enter the receiving area and are stored in raw-material inventory. Raw materials are converted into finished goods, and customers' orders draw down the finished-goods inventory. Finished goods pass through packaging, in-plant warehousing, shipping-room processing, outbound transportation, field warehousing, and delivery and service.
