On-site logistics refers to the organization and execution of logistics activities directly within a client’s factory, warehouse, or distribution facility, either by the client or a specialized logistics service provider. These activities include inbound unloading, internal material transport, kitting, line feeding, inventory control, and packaging, all carried out in real time alongside production processes. This model increases responsiveness, minimizes internal delays, and ensures that materials are always available at the exact point of use.
Characteristics:
- Operates inside production or distribution facilities
- Integrates logistics into daily manufacturing activities
- Reduces internal material handling delays
- Improves material availability at point of use
- Enhances coordination between production and supply chain
