Finally however, we must not forget that logistics is about the
movement of product, and much work is undertaken on improving the mechanics of this task. For example, a modern supermarket contains good
examples of packaging and standardization, the best of which make
handling easier. Vehicle fleets may be equipped with GPS (Global
Positioning Satellite) systems and advanced tachograph and communications equipment, allowing real-time driver and vehicle performance
monitoring. Such detailed analysis remains a key component of supply
chain integration.
