Transport and logistics is a collection of processes involved in the production, storage, inventory, delivery, and distribution of specific goods or services. Sometimes referred to as transportation and logistics, it is a vital element of the whole supply chain and it involves proactive procedures to safely and efficiently move products from the manufacturers, to the sellers, and up to the end users or the consumers. The primary goal of managing transport and logistics—especially for businesses and those in cargo consolidation—is to properly oversee the flow of supply from point A to point B, and for customers to receive products on time, damage-free, and according to expectations. In this project you will learn about the logistics and transport needs of a major festival then plan and run your own event based on your new knowledge.
