Outbound logistics refers to the process of managing and coordinating the movement of finished goods from a business to its customers or distribution centers. This includes activities such as order fulfillment, packaging, shipping, and delivery. Efficient outbound logistics relies on a well-structured inbound logistics system, as the timely arrival of raw materials ensures smooth production and order fulfillment. Without effective inbound logistics, delays in receiving supplies can disrupt the supply chain, affecting outbound operations. By optimizing both inbound and outbound logistics, businesses can reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, and maintain a competitive advantage.
