Logistics is the management of the flow of goods between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet some requirement, of customers of corporations.  Modern logistics management appeared in 1980s, people found that was very effective to observe, analyze and solve the problems by using the cross-functional process management. By analyzing the whole flow process of goods, enterprise can eliminate many inefficiency,which are seemingly efficiency.
