Global supply chain management aims to generate an optimum level of customer services and goods to maximize its business profits.

Logistics is everything from acquired, stored, transported, inventory, packaging, supplies, warehouse, etc. It sounds complicated, but without logistics, there is no global supply chain management. "Logistics is the transportation and distribution of goods and services." Taylor, 2019. Suppose management has an exemplary process of planning and executing. In that case, logistics will be efficient from point A to B. Logistics is important to many businesses because it can help cut on the product's cost and time from point A to point B. Transportation is the movement of goods from one location to another, according to Taylor, 2019. There are plenty of transportation modes such as rail, trucking, air, water, intermodal, and pipeline. Depending on which type of business you are in, transportation is key to getting the goods to the customer at the less cost possible. Global transportation is costly because it is overseas.
