EVENT LOGISTICS

EVENT MANAGEMENT

DEFINITION

• The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT (UK)) define logistics as, ‘The time-related positioning of resources to meet user requirements’, where resources may be transport, storage, or information (Supply-Chain Inventory Management Forum, 2003)

ELEMENTS OF EVENT LOGISTICS

• Whereas most logistics theory concerns the supply of products to the customers, event logistics includes the efficient supply of the customer to the product, and the supply of facilities to and from the event site. In this sense, it has more in common with military logistics than modern business logistics.

• Business logistics is an on-going activity and is part of the continual management of a company.

• Military and event logistics often concern a specific project or campaign rather than the continuing management. There is a definite preparation, lead up, execution and shutdown.
