Manufacturing

Logistics and Inventory Control

For manufacturing to go smoothly, workers need the materials to make the products. If they have to wait, the company loses money. In the Logistics and Inventory Control pathway, you get materials to the production workers. You might order the items or check them in the company warehouse when they are delivered. Or, you might deliver the materials to the assembly area. In addition, you could pack and ship the finished products.
