Understanding In Plant Logistics

In-plant logistics refers to the coordination of material handling, storage and internal movement activities within a manufacturing or production facility.

It focuses on the movement and flow of raw materials, components, semi-finished products and finished goods between receiving, storage, production and dispatch areas within the facility.

Well-coordinated in-plant logistics supports organized material availability, smoother internal movement and better alignment between storage, production-support and dispatch activities.

As part of an integrated 3PL and supply chain model, in-plant logistics can be coordinated with warehousing, transportation, freight forwarding and other logistics requirements.
