The relationship between logistics and manufacturing is balanced. Manufacturing generates the products, but without effective logistics$,$ these products would not reach customers in a timely or cost$-$efficient manner. Logistics ensures the availability of raw materials for production and coordinates the distribution of finished goods, maintaining a smooth operational flow. Logistics adds value to manufacturing by optimizing the supply of products, reducing lead times, and managing inventory. This allows manufacturers to operate more efficiently and supports marketing by ensuring that products are available at the right place and time. By bridging the gap between production and the customer, logistics helps maximize the value generated by manufacturing while supporting the marketing effort of meeting customer demand
