logistice

Logistice is a term encountered in some discussions of the organization and management of material and information flows. It is not a widely standardized term in the academic literature and may function either as an alternative spelling of logistics or as a broader, more theoretical frame for studying the design, operation, and improvement of supply chains. In practice, logistice often centers on the planning and control activities that ensure that goods, services, and related information move efficiently from origin to end user.

The scope of logistice typically includes demand forecasting, network design, procurement, production planning, inventory management, warehousing, transportation, and last-mile delivery, along with the analytics that support decision making. Methods used in logistice align with operations research, optimization, simulation, and data science, and commonly employ tools such as enterprise resource planning systems, warehouse and transportation management systems, and real-time tracking technologies.

Education and professional practice related to logistice often resides within industrial engineering, operations research, management science, and business administration programs. Roles associated with the domain include logistics analyst, supply chain planner, transportation manager, and operations supervisor. The field engages with broader themes in logistics and supply chain management, including resilience, sustainability, digitalization, and risk management, in response to evolving global networks and consumer expectations.
