LOGISTICS
LOGISTICS
Logistics is generally the detailed organization and implementation of a complex
operation.
In a general business sense, logistics is the management of the flow of
things between the point of origin and the point of consumption to meet the
requirements of customers or corporations.
The resources managed in logistics may
include tangible goods such as materials, equipment, and supplies, as well as food
and other consumable items.
Logistics management is the part of supply chain management and supply chain engineering
that 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
point of consumption to meet customers' requirements.
The complexity of logistics can be
modelled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The
minimization of the use of resources is a common motivation in all logistics fields. A
professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician.
Logistics today is seen as a way to best provide a service for clients’ needs and expectations, to bring together all activities to ensure the availability of a product or service, and to oversee an optimum management of quantities, schedules and costs.
Transport logistics combines demand planning with the selection of transport routes and modes, and expected results, while respecting the sequencing of tasks.
All of these activities require an expertise and in-depth understanding of the industry. The optimization of transport logistics entails meticulous pre- and post-planning of processes, as well as a performance indicator to assess its effectiveness.
This is where a proven logistics company like Caspian Group becomes a vital link, playing a central and critical role in your logistics chain. We can help you design a strategy to optimize your transport logistics is efficient and optimal, significantly reducing your costs.

Risk Management
Risk management is a discipline that identifies, evaluates and prioritizes the risks related to an organization’s activities, no matter the nature or origin. It deals with these risks in a coordinated and cost-effective manner to minimize and control the probability of feared events, and reduce the potential impact.
The crisis management of the supply chain requires the use of strategies to identify, qualify, quantify and proactively manage its inherent risks.
Choosing the right suppliers has become more strategic than ever before, as it must consider their reliability, the extent of their network and the quality of their subcontractors. This choice is not just a matter of the cost of logistics services.
Sound risk management must take into account such aspects as the choice of a mode of transport, carriers and proposed routes, packaging and protection of goods to ship, compliance of security standards, insurance coverage and customs compliance. This management approach helps validate the supply chain and ensure its security, and establish a business continuity plan to minimize the risk of interruption that could not only prove costly, but also affect client relations.
