在20世紀(jì)60年代后，日本引入了物流的概念，將其作為“在生產(chǎn)與消費(fèi)之間實(shí)現(xiàn)的貨物管理、運(yùn)輸、搬運(yùn)、包裝、流通加工以及控制這些功能的信息活動(dòng)。它在銷售物流中起到橋梁作用?！?.LogisticsisahottopicinChinaandthewholeworld.Althoughitisanythingbutanewbornbaby,lotsofpeoplestillhavelimitedawarenessof,andknowledgeaboutlogistics.Notes物流在中國乃至全世界已經(jīng)是一個(gè)熱門話題。雖然它已經(jīng)不是一個(gè)新生事物，但是不少人對物流的認(rèn)識仍然有限。2.LogisticsisahottopicinChinaandthewholeworld.Althoughitisanythingbutanewbornbaby,lotsofpeoplestillhavelimitedawarenessof,andknowledgeaboutlogistics.Notesbeawareof

為了避免可能發(fā)生的對物流含義的誤解，本書采用美國供應(yīng)鏈管理專業(yè)協(xié)會（前身為美國物流管理協(xié)會)目前的定義，該協(xié)會是全世界物流專業(yè)領(lǐng)城中最著名的組織之一。3.Toavoidpotentialmisunderstandingaboutthemeaningoflogistics,thisbookadoptsthecurrentdefinitionprovidedbytheCouncilofSupplyChainManagementProfessionals(CSCMP)—oneoftheworld'smostprominentorganizationsforlogisticsprofessionals.Notes
