Imagine you order a mobile phone online.
Before it reaches your home, many things happen:
β’ The phone is made in a factory.
β’ It is packed in a box.
β’ It is sent to a warehouse.
β’ A truck picks it up.
β’ It is delivered to your house.
All of these steps together are called logistics.

A restaurant doesn't just cook food. It also needs:
β’ Vegetables delivered from suppliers.
β’ Drinks stored in a fridge.
β’ Food delivered to customers.
Moving and storing these items is logistics.

Logistics = Moving + Storing + Delivering goods.

A medicine company makes 500 boxes of medicine.
β’ The medicines are packed.
β’ A truck takes them to a warehouse.
β’ Later, another truck delivers them to hospitals or pharmacies.
The medicine is the goods. Moving it is logistics.
