Logistics Management In Nigeria: Some Survey Results

Abstract

During the last few years the word logistics has become a more frequently used word in the business community. Widely viewed as one of the most critical means of improving profitability, many organizations now integrate most of their materials management and distribution processes into a logistics supply chain. This paper outlines the eight basic principles of logistics excellence, which can readily be used as criteria in the evaluation of the operations and practices of logistics management. A survey of the management of logistics by some Nigerian companies is also included.
