Transport logistics

A system for organizing delivery, moving any material items, substances, etc. from one point to another along the optimal route. One of the fundamental directions of the science of managing information and material flows in the process of movement of goods. The optimal route is considered to be the one by which it is possible to deliver a logistics object in the shortest possible time (or the stipulated time) with minimal costs, as well as with minimal harm to the delivery object. The harm to the delivery object is considered to be a negative impact on the logistics object both from external factors (conditions of transportation) and from the time factor during the delivery of objects falling into this category.
