Virtual logistics

Document Type : Scientific Paper

Abstract

The high cost of logistics operations and services in today's common systems has led to the emergence of a new concept called virtual logistics. In this method, part of the total facilities available in the organization is always used to meet the needs of the organization, so that the total needs of the organization are met. Using this concept in large organizations such as the IRGC, costs have been drastically reduced, and this is achieved by eliminating additional operations within the organization, reducing the number of warehouses, eliminating unnecessary transportation, reducing manpower, and more. The article is examined in detail.
