16. Functional (logistics) cycle.

A complete logistic cycle is the time interval between the making the order and delivery of the ordered product or service to the final consumer.  The overall functional cycle is divided into a cycle of supply, ensuring cycle of production and sales cycle, and physical distribution. The cycle is expressed in the flow of supplies from outside sources of material resources for the company and is associated with the choice of sources of resources, placement and shipment of orders, shipment, receipt of raw materials. Cycle Logistics provides logistical support for production and production is to create a regular flow of minimum cost of materials and semifinished goods in process within the established production schedule. The cycle of physical distribution, or sale, involves the processing and execution of orders, including the direct delivery of goods to the consumer .. Different functional cycles characterized by its frequency (intensity), the volume and speed of implementation of operations and transactions. The functional cycle of logistics can be both within a company, and cover several companies, and located in different countries, which usually gives. The highest economic and financial impact. In the case of a company of international stature, procuring raw materials and selling finished products in world markets, it is difficult to isolate a functional loop that links together all the operations. For example, highly complex logistics systems TNCs include a myriad of functional cycles. However, despite their complexity and confusion in order to identify the most important logistics relationships and lines of control is necessary to investigate the functional configuration of each cycle. The functional cycle of the supply chain is a principal object of planning and operational management in logistics. The cycle is expressed in the flow of supplies from outside sources of material resources for the company and is associated with the choice of sources of resources, placing orders and shipping, transportation, semi ¬ cheniem raw materials. • loop transfer order; • creation of a cycle (maintenance) reserves; • loop orders; • the procurement cycle and placing orders; • delivery cycle (MR, GP, service); • operational (production) cycle; • acquisition cycle orders and documentation; • cycle analysis and reporting.
