Production logistics is mainly associated with manufacturing companies. It deals with all tasks pertinent to the planning and controlling of those internal processes that relate to the materials flow, storage, and internal transport. Addition-ally, production logistics plays an important part in planning and integrating both the preceding procurement logistical processes and the subsequent distribution logistical processes. If there is a high degree of integration as a result of a flow or network-oriented understanding of logistics, production logistics may be integrated into the logistics network as an immediate link. Thus, IT systems are able to receive direct input from inventory control systems for the planning and controlling of production programs (see Sect. 9.3). Production logistics is less characterized by major physical flows of goods over long distances rather than by intelligent planning of the processes and the provision of goods within a smaller context. This is why it can also be understood as a special field of production.
