Both inbound logistics and outbound logistics are integral parts of the supply chain. Inbound logistics refers to the processes involved in receiving, storing, and distributing inputs internally within a company. These inputs can include raw materials, tools, and other supplies necessary for production.
Outbound logistics, on the other hand, deals with the movement and storage of finished goods from the end of the production line to the end user or customer. It involves all the steps taken to deliver the product to the final consumer, including warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, and transportation management.
These logistics functions ensure that goods are available when and where they need to be throughout the production and distribution phases, effectively linking production, distribution, and consumption in the supply chain.
