The Effectiveness of Logistics Management - A Case Study of: Future Supply Chain Solutions Ltd (FSC)

This study evaluates the logistics management practices at Future Supply Chain Solutions Ltd (FSC), focusing on key areas like facility management, quality control, technology, and employee involvement. The findings highlight FSC's efficient warehouse operations and advanced tracking systems, but identify areas for improvement, including enhancing quality reporting, employee participation, documentation practices, and customer complaint resolution. The study suggests that while FSC's workforce is experienced, challenges with knowledge transfer may arise due to an aging workforce. To maintain its competitive edge, FSC should continue investing in technology, employee training, and process improvements.
