Logistics deals with the planning and control of material flows and related information in organizations, both in the public and private sectors. Broadly speaking, its mission is to get the right materials to the right place at the right time, while optimizing a given performance measure (e.g. minimizing total operating costs) and satisfying a given set of constraints (e.g. a budget constraint). In the military context, logistics is concerned with the supply of troops with food, armaments, ammunitions and spare parts, as well as the transport of troops themselves.
