logistiline

Logistiline is an Estonian adjective meaning related to logistics. In practical use, it describes things connected with planning, implementation and control of the movement and storage of goods, services and information, from origin to consumption. The term is commonly found in business, transportation, manufacturing and military contexts to refer to systems, processes and activities aimed at ensuring timely and cost-efficient delivery and coordination of resources.

In mathematical and statistical language, logistiline refers to the logistic function and its applications. The logistic function is used to model processes that grow rapidly at first and level off toward a limiting value. Related concepts include logistic growth, which describes population dynamics that slow as they approach carrying capacity, and logistic regression, a method for modeling the probability of a binary outcome using the logistic function.

In Estonian, logistiline is the direct translation of the English 'logistic' and is used to denote both the field of logistics and mathematical models that use the logistic function. The term appears in technical literature, industry reports and academic contexts to distinguish logistical aspects from other types of planning or analysis.
