Logistics

Logistics management is crucial to the distribution of products and services from the point of production to the point of consumption. In a volatile environment, successful supply chain management is essential for survival. The current financial crisis makes it even more crucial. Changes in corporate processes are driven by the world's fast transformation. The two industries with the most changes are logistics and transportation. Analyzing the present logistics and transportation issues in light of the shifting environmental landscape is therefore crucial. This paper focuses on the present problems and obstacles in logistics management, specifically mentioning Coimbatore. This study has employed descriptive research methodology. There was use of both primary and secondary data. A total of 120 respondents made up the study's sample. The convenient sampling approach is applied. Statistical methods such as regression analysis, correlation analysis, ANOVA, percentage analysis, and Chi-Square test analysis are employed. Artificial intelligence and GPS monitoring are already posing new problems to the logistics sector. This study concluded that poor and delayed delivery, infrastructure problems, strategy and decision-making, and departmental coordination are all present in logistics organizations. Logistics businesses should enhance their delivery of new automation techniques and cloud networks for internal and external communication to address these issues.
