According to Plowmann, the task of logistics is to ensure the availability of the right goods, in the right quantity, in the right condition, at the right place, at the right time, for the right customer and at the right cost. The planning tasks become complex because each individual process (delivery times, handling times, etc.) in the global supply chains is again associated with its own uncertainties: an important delivery arrives later than expected, in the next month only 100 (or 1,000) items could be sold instead of the 500 announced, etc.). And the next delivery may not arrive next week, as announced, but in five weeks. These uncertainties need to be understood in the best possible way: The better the future can be predicted, the more efficiently the logistics can be planned.
