INTRODUCTION:
In any firm, information and communication technology (ICT) and logistics are critical;
technology allows businesses to expand their supply chain management activities while reducing
business process errors and costs. In the sector, logistics is critical, especially in supply
management. Warehouse management and design, package formation, and product
transportation are all important. Technology improves the overall structure and operation of an
organization by allowing for easy system tracking, social media, improved GPS accuracy, and
internet-connected devices that improve performance and effectiveness while carrying out
various organizational duties. Most businesses' progress in the modern era is aided by higher
levels of technology and logistics (Lambert and Stock, 1993).
TASK B
Organization, assembling or creation the board, acquirement, data innovation, data security,
and tasks, for example, deals and dissemination are all essential for the business interaction,
which is necessary to assure the supply of desired goods and services. Production
management, as well as sales and distribution management, are all part of logistic
management (Tidd and Bessant, 2020). In logistics management, the four business processes
or subprocesses from the production component are:
 Warehousing
 inventory management
 Receiving
 Put away
1. STORAGE OR WAREHOUSING
It is a crucial part of logistics management because the manufacturers must function at an
efficient rate over the goods. It is the process of keeping items and inventory for the production
or manufacturing process (Marchewka, 2016). Warehousing, which falls under the category of
logistics, is an important part of ensuring the timely delivery of goods and stocks, as well as
coordinating with other parts of the supply chain. The primary components of the warehousing
process include
 Placing a request that is taken care of by the organization.

 A purchaser order is an archive that is utilized when an organization needs to buy an
item.
 The merchandiser's reserving list was followed when the merchandiser mentioned a
rundown of organizations.
 capacity examination, which is held to decide the general limit of a given item
 receiving item by the organization
 inspecting the got item for quality
 comprehending the item's points of interest
 storing the finished item

2. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT is likewise a significant part of coordinations. It helps with
the advancement of stock requests and wellbeing stocks, just as production network the board.
Inventory management aids in the control of customer and supplier purchasing processes. The
inventory management process consists of the following steps:
• purchasing raw materials from suppliers
• storing the purchased raw materials
• the production process follows the storage of the materials.
• After the assembling interaction, the item is held for quality control;
• after quality control, the item is marked as the end result;
• and the end result is held for delivery.

3. RECEIVING-
Single things, objects, liters, containers, bundles, boxes, kgs, or whole beds might be the subject
of earnings. Beds, for instance, can be very tremendous, while a split pin can be close to nothing.
An Advance Shipping Notice from a provider is the best way to deal with get things.
Administrators can examine transfer standardized tags to raise the ASN with this data on the
framework. Merchandise can be framework gotten if the transportation coordinates with the
ASN. Nevertheless, they are as yet in organizing, but arranged for capability (Omotayo, 2015). A
few structures allow things to be contracted into store at this phase, whereas others expect
transportation to an assigned store area in advance stock is refreshed.

4. PUT AWAY- Set Aside A decent framework will refer a warning to the set aside group
conveying that stock is in arranging and will be conveyed to a aptitude site. Managers recognize
the reserve task from the Enterprise Supply Program or Warehouse Management System, then, at
that opinion check the important standardized tag of the merchandise to be taken care of. On the
off chance that no scanner tag is accessible, a physical passage may be applied to approve that
the items have been distinguished (Prosser and Ossimitz, 2001). The framework will then, at that
point train the set aside team to get it done for the proper stockpiling area. At the point when the
administrator shows up at the site, the person will screen the relevant stock area scanner tag or
substantially approve that the right position has been found, then, at that socket place the items in
the space earlier to sustaining that the set apart extent is completed.

Task C
During the assembling interaction, exchange and execution methodology are done; the
crude materials to be changed over into finished merchandise can be semi-completed, crude
materials, or completed items. The maker should take a progression of cycles to make the
material record to get the assembling of great things that are worthwhile to the organization
(Lambert and Stock, 1993). To change crude materials to finished things, the initial phase in SAP
is to enter the business area and material sort. The subsequent advance is to build the expert
information that the maker wants. In stage two, the material plan for new crude materials is
finished. The material's key information is given, the material determination's association
information is used, and the checkmark of different not really settled. New data isn't available for

determination for new items; it is the maker's obligation to offer it; for semi-completed products,
the last stage should be finished. The degree of viability of creation and refreshing activities
during the material creation measure is relative to the item's general worth (Molnár, 2012).
Creation chiefs should keep up with superb item fabricate the executives to guarantee usefulness
because of the creation of top caliber, standard things.
