The short answer: Logistics is about getting you the stuff you need when you need it. And by "stuff" we mean everthing: The new shirt you ordered online, the medication the pharmacy ordered this morning, the raw materials the manufacturer needs to keep production moving.
It’s logistics that makes it all happen – figuring out how to get products and supplies to the people that need them, whether across the country and around the world, when they need it, for the best price, and using the fewest resources. Companies spend more than a trillion dollars a year on shipping and logistics services… it adds up to big business for Indiana – a major logistics hub – and good job opportunities for you, with careers like Planning/Scheduling Specialist and Packaging & Routing Associate.
