Read MoreLogistics management originated by the British Army far before the outbreak of the First World War where a military supply chain system was developed by building infrastructures such as roads, railroads, ports, airfields, supply stores, and vehicles to transport weapons and troops. The idea of wholesale commerce emerged with the first people who brought products from distant lands, sometimes even from other continents, to supply local merchants who did not have access to those sources. An entire industry was born from what started to get products from point A to point B. Many companies now rely on outsourcing for some or all their supply chain management activities, resulting in the development of third-party logistics companies for efficient transport and tracking of goods.
