If we want to explain the concept of logistics from the logistics management association point of view, it can be part of the supply chain process, which is responsible for storing goods, providing relevant services and information from the point of production to the point of consumption, which the main purpose of this process is to meet the needs of customers. Due to the expansion of industrial and commercial activities in different countries of the world, we find that, daily progress and development, requires high accuracy in all dimensions of supply, production and distribution.
The main goal of logistics management in manufacturing companies is to provide customer service and ultimately more customer satisfaction, which begins with monitoring production and distribution from the beginning of the production process and ends where the service and product reaches the customer. Logistics costs effects on finished product price. But today, satisfaction with other issues, such as speed of delivery, optimal analysis, non-defect, are some of the other logistical tasks that increase customer satisfaction. Therefore, manufacturing and logistics companies consider agile and flexible logistics management as their competitive advantage over competitors.
An important part of the products and services related to logistics and transportation management are defined in areas such as: equipment of transportation system, technologies and storage systems, transportation technologies of dry, liquids and bulk items, hazardous materials, risky and special kind of materials, control systems (wireless and…) software of transportation management and warehouse management and etc.
Thus, transportation is one of the most important and effective parts of logistics management in manufacturing and service companies. Paying attention to the specifications of materials and products of oil, gas and petrochemical industries, features such as having strategic value, bulk nature of some items, dangerousness and riskiness, creates special conditions for the production, storage, transportation and consumption processes. These features require special conditions and specifications for the supply chain and logistics of these type of materials and products. Thus, it requires special technologies and equipment and management systems, planning, software and operations in the fields of transportation, warehousing, distribution, identification, coding and tracking, weighting, packaging and other logistical areas.
