A control loop is an automated feedback mechanism used in logistics and supply chain operations to continuously monitor process variables and make real-time adjustments to maintain desired performance levels. The system operates by comparing actual output values against predetermined target values (setpoints) and automatically implementing corrective actions when deviations occur. This closed-loop process ensures consistent operational performance by reducing variability and minimizing the need for manual intervention across warehousing, transportation, and manufacturing environments.
