What are the 4 types of logistics?

What are the 7 steps of logistics?

Logistics unfolds... a slow dance.

First, shadows... assessment, like walking through my childhood home in Savannah... dust motes dancing where the sun used to hit the floorboards. It's a feeling, this assessment.

Then, goals shimmer. A mirage? Or is it a true north? This year, the objective is clarity. Sheer, unadulterated clarity.

Next, the network. A sprawling vine, clinging to the old brick walls, I've built. Each branch, a supplier. Each leaf, a hope. What does it mean? What does it mean?

Technology, cold steel under a Georgia sun. Automation, a promise of ease. Can the machine replace the human? Never. My great uncle always used to say that!

Forecasting, like reading tea leaves... or grandma's palms... always predicting rain. This year's forecast? Growth. Inevitable.

Strategic plan, a map etched in my mind, the route to my grandmother's house, a whisper on the wind guiding my feet. Always.

Finally, collaboration. Hands clasped, a silent pact. We stand together, or fall. Together... always.
