Design for logistics is a series of concepts in the field of supply chain management involving product and design approaches that help to control logistics costs and increase customer service levels. These concepts were introduced by Professor Hau Lee of Stanford University, and have the three key components: Economic packaging and transportation, Concurrent and parallel processing, and Standardization. ==Economic packaging and transportation== There are three levels, moving from operational, to tactical and finally strategic. # Common sense: Product and packaging must be designed so it is easy to ship and shelf (for instance, Rubbermaid design that fits Walmart's 14x14 shelving). Making a product much stronger and more rugged than necessary for its normal function typically increases parts cost, but sometimes it lowers the net cost by reducing the cost of padding and protection for shipping.〔 ("HP DeskJet 1200C Printer Architecture" ) 〕 # Facilitate logistic function: Must be easy to pack and repack, and easy to track. # Enables efficient design of supply chain and business model: For instance, IKEA's supply chain and business model (flat packages etc.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Design for logistics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
