Summary:The concept of Total Logistics Management (TLM) is a response to the challenges of contemporary economy, proposing the idea of an enterprise oriented towards flow. Flow has a broad definition here. It concerns materials, information as well as finances. Effective and efficient flow as referring to any category should be the objective of any organization. It must be noted that one of the basic element of TLM is the product itself as well as designing it in such a way to make it logistically efficient. A logistically efficient product is a product that would support the flow while being attractive to a customer. When considering optimization of logistic costs and processes the features and properties of a product are usually not considered as they are believed to be limiting conditions. The changes are made in the way specific processes are executed, while product properties remain unchanged.
