What is Inbound VS Outbound Operations in Logistics
Inbound and outbound logistics are distinct yet interconnected processes within the supply chain. Inbound logistics focuses on the movement of raw materials and components from suppliers to a manufacturing facility or warehouse. This encompasses activities such as sourcing, procurement, transportation, and inventory management of incoming goods. Conversely, outbound logistics deals with the movement of finished products from the point of production or storage to the end customer. This involves order fulfillment, warehousing, packaging, transportation, and delivery, ensuring timely and efficient product distribution.
