Answer to Question 1

 Business logistics: That part of the supply chain process that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective flow and storage of goods, service, and related information from point of origin to point of consumption in order to meet customer requirements.
 Military logistics: The design and integration of all aspects of support for the operational capability of the military forces (deployed or in garrison) and their equipment to ensure readiness, reliability, and efficiency.
 Event logistics: The network of activities, facilities, and personnel required to organize, schedule, and deploy the resources for an event to take place and to efficiently withdraw after the event.
 Service logistics: The acquisition, scheduling, and management of the facilities, assets, personnel, and materials to support and sustain a service operation or business.
All four subdivisions have some common characteristics and requirements such as forecasting, scheduling, and transportation, but they also have some differences in their primary purpose. All four, however, can be viewed in a supply chain context; that is, upstream and downstream other organizations play a role in their overall success and long-run viability. Having offered definitions of logistics, it is now appropriate to discuss how logistics adds value to an organization's products
